Thanks for letting us know. There's a bunch of discussion over in our documentation repository about this, so I'll have to redirect you there. Cheers!

It seems the "Set-Theme" cmdlet was renamed to "Set-PoshPrompt".

For anyone still struggliong with this issue use Set-PoshPrompt, as JustDre said above, followed by the -Theme option. Here is an example:
Set-PoshPrompt -Theme pixelrobots
I am using posh-git version 1.0.0 and oh-my-posh version 3.157.2.
Hope this helps

I installed the latest version of oh-my-posh i.e. if you follow the guide on microsoft don't use the required version but let it install the latest.

Hey, I had the same issue. I did Update_Module in Powershell, it will update the oh-my-posh module to lastest version (actually all modules, you can also update oh-my-posh only). Then i got no errors. Hope this works for you too.

I was having the same issue as the users above me. I followed the tutorial as well. I believe this error occurs because a command given by the documentation installs an older version, see:
Install-Module oh-my-posh -Scope CurrentUser -RequiredVersion 2.0.412
This conflicts with the given PowerShell configuration, as it is intended for newer versions of oh-my-posh. The version installed by the tutorial command works if you switch from Set-PoshPrompt back to Set-Theme, although I would suggest following the advice given above - although a small correction is required, since the command is Update-Module instead of Update_Module.

Hi there!

It seems you're using an oh-my-posh V2 cmdlet while running V3.
To migrate your current setup to V3, have a look the documentation.

so I went to the mentioned site, then ran Update-Module -Name oh-my-posh -Scope CurrentUser, but nothing changed.

after I delete forcibly the "...\OneDrive\document\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\oh-my-posh" and install oh-my-posh by using choco, it works.

sorry I think it was just another path issue that doesn't relate to this issue.

If you are getting Set-PoshPromp is not recognised...

Try outputting the path of your PROFILE file in your terminal using $PROFILE
This directory is where your PROFILE should be, create it if its not there.
And then write the Set-PoshPrompt -Theme the_theme_you_want script in your Microsoft.Powershell_profile.ps1 file instead of the terminal
Save the configuration to your Microsoft.Powershell_profile.ps1 by entering . $PROFILE in your terminal

Your prompt should now have your chosen theme applied to it.

This worked for me, hope it helps 😊

I have tried everything of the above but nothing worked. oh-my-posh was the only command that my powershell would find.

What worked for me is using the following command that is in this guide (I had to use the whole path to where the themes are):

oh-my-posh --init --shell pwsh --config ~\AppData\Local\Programs\oh-my-posh\themes\bubblesline.omp.json | Invoke-Expression

Saved this in the Microsoft.Powershell_profile.ps1 file and it works now.

I was also missing some characters so i downloaded the cascadia-code-nerd-font (I used chocolatey for it).

choco install cascadia-code-nerd-font

And then selected it in the windows terminal go to Settings -> Profiles -> PowerShell -> Appearance -> Font face on the windows terminal

I hope this methods helps someone!
