Add-SPOTheme : The term 'Add-SPOTheme' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program

Question

I am trying to apply a custom theme color to my SharePoint online site from an article I got online. Im running it in SharePoint online Management shell. I have the latest version of SPO management shell, it shows: vti_encoding:SR|utf8-nl vti_extenderversion:SR|16.0.0.12003 I've run the: Install-Module SharePointPnPPowerShellOnline cmd line I've also run the following: Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Force but I get the following error:
Connect-SPOService : The term 'Connect-SPOService' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.
AND
Add-SPOTheme : The term 'Add-SPOTheme' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again

My script looks like this:

    $SPThemeName = "My Custom colors"

$SPThemePalette = const myTheme = @{
"themePrimary" = "#5d5daf";
"themeLighterAlt" = "#f7f7fc";
"themeLighter" = "#e0e0f2";
"themeLight" = "#c7c7e7";
"themeTertiary" = "#9595d0";
"themeSecondary" = "#6d6db9";
"themeDarkAlt" = "#54549e";
"themeDark" = "#474786";
"themeDarker" = "#343463";
"neutralLighterAlt" = "#faf9f8";
"neutralLighter" = "#f3f2f1";
"neutralLight" = "#edebe9";
"neutralQuaternaryAlt" = "#e1dfdd";
"neutralQuaternary" = "#d0d0d0";

"neutralTertiaryAlt" = "#c8c6c4"; "neutralTertiary" = "#a19f9d"; "neutralSecondary" = "#605e5c"; "neutralSecondaryAlt" = "#8a8886"; "neutralPrimaryAlt" = "#3b3a39"; "neutralPrimary" = "#323130"; "neutralDark" = "#201f1e"; "black" = "#000000"; "white" = "#ffffff"; }

Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Force

cls
if(Get-module -ListAvailable -Name "Microsoft.Online.SharePoint.PowerShell") {
    Write-Host "SharePoint Online module already installed" -ForegroundColor Green
}
else {
    Write-Host "Installing latest version of SharePoint Online module" -ForegroundColor Yellow
    Install-Module -Name Microsoft.Online.SharePoint.PowerShell -Force
}

Connect-SPOService -Url <myURL> -credential <myUsername>

Add-SPOTheme -Identity $SPThemeName -Palette $SPThemePalette -IsInverted $false

Write-Host "Your Fluent UI Theme '"$SPThemeName "' is now added to SharePoint.`n Go to a web site and Change the Look." -ForegroundColor Green

Set-ExecutionPolicy Default -Force

Import-Module -Name Microsoft.Online.SharePoint.PowerShell - It says it is already installed

I'm running this in Windows Powershell ISE with admin privileges. I'm importing the SharePoint Online Man module, but it still tells me the term Connect-SPOService and Add-SPOTheme is not recognized
Please Help?

Answer 1

Your script is connecting to SharePoint using a cmdlet from the PnP.PowerShell module but is then using the Add-SPOTheme cmdlet from the Microsoft.Online.SharePoint.PowerShell module.

To connect to SharePoint using Microsoft.Online.SharePoint.PowerShell, you should use Connect-SPOService.

Additionally, make sure the PowerShell module is loaded by using Import-Module at the start of your script:

Import-Module -Name Microsoft.Online.SharePoint.PowerShell 

Answer 2

I found a very nice solution on SharePointDiary.com that uses Powershell script (not SPO Man shell) - It works perfectly.

#Define the color palette $ThemePalette = @{ "themePrimary" = "#00d492"; "themeLighterAlt" = "#f3fdfa"; "themeLighter" = "#d0f8eb"; "themeLight" = "#a9f2db"; "themeTertiary" = "#5ce5b9"; "themeSecondary" = "#1ad99c"; "themeDarkAlt" = "#00be82"; "themeDark" = "#00a16e"; "themeDarker" = "#007751"; "neutralLighterAlt" = "#f8f8f8"; "neutralLighter" = "#f4f4f4"; "neutralLight" = "#eaeaea"; "neutralQuaternaryAlt" = "#dadada"; "neutralQuaternary" = "#d0d0d0"; "neutralTertiaryAlt" = "#c8c8c8"; "neutralTertiary" = "#ae9e9e"; "neutralSecondary" = "#938181"; "neutralPrimaryAlt" = "#796767"; "neutralPrimary" = "#0f0b0b"; "neutralDark" = "#443636"; "black" = "#2a2020"; "white" = "#ffffff"; }
#Set Admin Center URL $AdminCenterURL = ""
#Connect to SharePoint Online - Prompt for credentials Connect-SPOService -url $AdminCenterURL -Credential (Get-Credential)
#Add new SharePoint Online theme Add-SPOTheme -Name "Theme name" -Palette $ThemePalette -IsInverted $False
