I don't see a way above to fix this specific problem, but I was hoping that someone out there knows what to do? </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/278930#post-1125244 Fri, 03 Jul 2009 19:51:25 +0000 MattV 1125244@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Only version 1.2 of Options Theme will break when upgrading to Wordpress 2.8 - version 1.3 works just fine </p> <p>Here´s an official fix for v1.2 provided by Justin in the Hybrid Forums: </p> <p>Change this code in /app/options.php:</p> <pre><code>function op_all_cats() { $all_cats = get_all_category_ids(); foreach($all_cats as $key =&gt; $value) : $all_cats[$key] = get_cat_name($all_cats[$key]); $all_cats[$key] = str_replace(&quot;&amp;&quot;, &quot;&amp;&quot;, $all_cats[$key]); $all_cats[$key] = str_replace(&quot;&amp;&quot;,&quot;&amp;&quot;, $all_cats[$key]); endforeach; $all_cats[&#39;none&#39;] = false; return $all_cats; }</code></pre> <p>To: </p> <pre><code>function op_all_cats() { $cats = get_categories(); foreach ( $cats as $cat ) : $return[] = $cat-&gt; name; endforeach; $return[] = false; return $return; }</code></pre> <p>Be aware that Options Theme has been discontinued, so sooner or later it just won´t work anymore as WP keeps on rolling out new features. </p> <p>Consider joining the Hybrid Theme club. It´s a great theme and has a very active support community: <a href="http://themehybrid.com/" rel="nofollow">http://themehybrid.com/</a> </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/278930#post-1111444 Sun, 21 Jun 2009 02:16:19 +0000 ptvguy 1111444@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>I wouldn't give up on the Options theme just yet. I have it working just fine in WP 2.8. (<a href="http://www2.soptv.org/" rel="nofollow">http://www2.soptv.org/</a>) Only the WP Security Scan plugin gave me trouble in the upgrade. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/278930#post-1103723 Mon, 15 Jun 2009 00:48:02 +0000 Daniel Thompson 1103723@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>I see lots of people here can someone help me with my issue?</p> <p>Parse error: parse error in wp-config.php on line 77</p> <p>This is a new local install , I,m trying to get it to work for the first time.</p> <p>I saw the other blog that said there was lines outside of the &lt;? ?&gt; in the wp-config.php<br /> Not mine.<br /> I followed the directions to the letter.</p> <p>PLEASE </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/278930#post-1103713 Mon, 15 Jun 2009 00:34:10 +0000 fr33think3r 1103713@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>In the above suggested code changes,</p> <p>$all_cats[$key] = str_replace("&amp;", "&amp;", $all_cats[$key]);<br /> $all_cats[$key] = str_replace("&amp;","&amp;", $all_cats[$key]);</p> <p>Aren't these two identical other than the white space? </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/278930#post-1103710 Mon, 15 Jun 2009 00:28:21 +0000 fr33think3r 1103710@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>What is the one line change that needs to be done?

That was for the Option theme. I use Structure (Aura). Same? </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/278930#post-1101735 Sat, 13 Jun 2009 07:37:25 +0000 gl 1101735@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Justin, I can't find the solution you mentioned. Could you be more specific? Also, how do you downgrade back from 2.8 to 2.7? Thank you! </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/278930#post-1101721 Sat, 13 Jun 2009 07:11:02 +0000 greenshady 1101721@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>This issue was addressed nearly a year ago with a change in code. I'm sorry you guys missed the last two updates, but the themes have been discontinued and you can no longer get those updates.</p> <p>There has been a solution posted on the themes' support forums:<br /> <a href="http://themehybrid.com/support" rel="nofollow">http://themehybrid.com/support</a> </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/278930#post-1099920 Fri, 12 Jun 2009 02:36:12 +0000 pnaw10 1099920@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>More bad news:</p> <p><a href="http://themehybrid.com/themes/options" rel="nofollow">http://themehybrid.com/themes/options</a><br /> <a href="http://themehybrid.com/themes/structure" rel="nofollow">http://themehybrid.com/themes/structure</a></p> <p>Both pages say the themes are no longer available for download. In other words, he's not going to be providing any updates. We're left to fend for ourselves... I wasn't <em>planning</em> to be up all night tinkering with PHP code... arrrrgh!! </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/278930#post-1099903 Fri, 12 Jun 2009 02:18:36 +0000 pnaw10 1099903@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>@Jon - It looks like we're both using themes created by Justin Tadlock. You have Options, and I am using Structure. (I recognized Options in the error message because I considered using it before I settled on Structure.) My website at <a href="http://www.cnyradio.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.cnyradio.com</a> also experienced the same error upon upgrading to 2.8.</p> <p>Even though we're using different themes, Tadlock used the same line of code in both of them. He probably has it in several other themes too. Unfortunately, he doesn't seem to be aware of the problem, and his latest and greatest theme site -- which still has themes for free -- now requires a $25 membership to access the support forums.</p> <p><code>$all_cats[$key] = get_cat_name($all_cats[$key]);</code></p> <p>Something in that line of code must have "hooked" into something in the WordPress engine or the SQL database. WP must have renamed it in 2.8 -- but which thing? $all_cats? $key? get_cat_name?</p> <p>And what did they change it to? I know enough about PHP and programming in general to know answering these 2 questions and making the necessary corrections will solve the problem. But I don't know enough to figure out <em><strong>what</strong></em> those answers are.</p> <p>Ugh... it's great to have improvements and progress, but it sucks when an update renders the entire site useless thanks to one line of theme code that became obsolete. WP is great in many ways, but backwards compatibility apparently isn't among their top priorities.</p> <p>If this one little thing caused my site to go down, I just can't wait to see how many of my <em>plugins</em> are now useless. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/278930#post-1099677 Thu, 11 Jun 2009 23:07:34 +0000 Jon Alba 1099677@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Thanks, got it! </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/278930#post-1099669 Thu, 11 Jun 2009 22:57:08 +0000 kpdesign 1099669@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Access your server via FTP and go to wp-content/themes/ and rename the folder for your current theme. That will make WordPress automatically revert to using the default theme, as it believes that the other theme is broken.</p> <p>You should then be able to log into the admin section. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/278930#post-1099662 Thu, 11 Jun 2009 22:48:26 +0000 Jon Alba 1099662@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>The problem is however, we can't even log in! Any suggestions? </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/278930#post-1099656 Thu, 11 Jun 2009 22:44:00 +0000 kpdesign 1099656@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>From the error message, it appears to be a problem with the theme you are using. You should contact the theme author and work with them to resolve the issue.</p> <p>In the meantime, try switching to the default theme to see if the error goes away. If so, then at least your site will be functional until you can resolve the issue. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/278930#post-1099582 Thu, 11 Jun 2009 22:15:54 +0000 Jon Alba 1099582@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>The apparent infected code is:</p> <p> $all_cats[$key] = get_cat_name($all_cats[$key]); </p> <p>Does anyone have a clue on what I can do? </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/278930#post-1099576 Thu, 11 Jun 2009 22:12:49 +0000 Jon Alba 1099576@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>My site, <a href="http://www.sportsfullcircle.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.sportsfullcircle.com</a>, recently upgraded to 2.8. The second we did so, the ENTIRE SITE CRASHED.</p> <p>We now get a white screen with the message:</p> <p>Fatal error: Cannot use object of type WP_Error as array in /home1/sportsfu/public_html/wp-content/themes/options/app/options.php on line 13</p> <p>I noticed tons of people were having similar problems, and this is a huge issue for myself as well. We average many views, and it is necessary this be solved. </p>
