    i attempted to upgrade my site to version 3.2.1. Site went down and i only have the following message. i cannot log in to my site:

    Fatal error: Call to undefined method Arras_Widget_Tag_Cloud::WP_Widget_Tag_Cloud() in /home/content/99/6693499/html/wp-content/themes/arras-theme/library/widgets.php on line 328

    Your theme may be incompatible or broken. Rename the arras-theme folder in wp-content/themes. This should activate the default theme.

    Go directly to login and check that Twenty Eleven now is your theme.

    Reinstall your preferred theme, latest version, and try ahain. If same problem, contact the theme author.

    It might also be a plugin. Temporarily rename your plugins folder via FTP, which will deactivate all plugins.

    When everything fails, restore backup.

    It's always a best practice to deactivate all your plugins
    Change to default theme
    Backup your data
    And only upgrade :)

    Arras has a known issue.

    I cannot even log to the site, how can i fix that so i can back up?

    i get the same error message trying to get to my sites login page.

  6. Can you rename the wp-content/themes/arras-theme to arras-old? Via your FTP client or shell access? Right after that, see if that lets you in.
