 * WP 3.2.1
    Custom Community Pro 0.7
 * I have a major issue and I have no idea what to do… While I am making changes
   to my site layout in the dashboard I keep getting errors that make my theme auto
   revert to the twenty ten theme and occasionally it deactivates all plugins. I
   usually just reactivate them and switch back to Custom Community Pro and I’m 
   good to go… for a while. This is the most recent string of errors and I can’t
   fix it. I was having this error issues before I downloaded w3 total cache but
   every time I try to reactivate it, since it was automatically deactivated because
   of an error, this is what happens.

 * It looks like you may be trying to use plugins for buddy press, do you have it
   installed? You need to run it with CC to use the Buddypress features. So you 
   need a main theme to start, Buddypress, and Custom Community. If you have Buddypress
   already i’m not sure what’s up with that error, I use CC, with and without Buddypress.
 * If you don’t want buddypress features you don’t need to install it, just deactivate
   any Buddypress plugins you may be using.

 * I have been using buddy press with CC. It took me a long time to get it set up
   because I kept getting errors so I’m not sure if its something with my server/
   host or what it is? It was up and working just fine. The error that states I 
   need to use a theme that is compatible with BuddyPress came up with all of these
   issues because it automatically reverted back to the twenty ten theme when these
   errors occurred. Why? I have no idea. But I was using CC and BP before this happened.

 * Narrow it down, first deactivate all plugins, then deactivate Buddypress. See
   if CC works as it should without it.
    Then reactivate buddypress, then each plugin
   one by one. Or reactivate all the non-BP plugins, then Buddypress, then the BP
   plugins,. you have to see what works and what doesn’t.

 * I’ll give that a try and see what I can figure out. Can you tell me anything 
   about this error? This is the error message I get most frequent.
 * Warning: array_keys() expects parameter 1 to be array, boolean given in D:\Hosting\
   8650646\html\wp-includes\theme.php on line 521
 * I don’t have any sort of HTML editing software so I can’t see what is actually
   on line 521. Later today I will try to find a way to figure out what is actually
   on line 521 to see if that could be the problem?
 * I’ve also gotten a few messages that say I need to CHMOD 777 my bp.php file. 
   Could that be part of the issue?
 * I’ll play around with plugins and see what I can figur\e out.

 * Can’t help with the error, but here’s a very suitable text editor for html, freeware.

    You could also open
   html files with your standard scratch book. To open the html file, click right

 * This is the function causing the repeat errors
 * function get_current_theme() {
    if ( $theme = get_option(‘current_theme’) ) return
   $theme;
 * I’m thinking all these problems may be associated with the theme CC?

 * I’ve used it for years, not the pro version though. I’m currently running 2 installs
   of it, one with Buddypress the other without, both are running WP 3.3. with no
   issues. I’d hate to suggect a down grade but it may be worth a try, could be 
   the pro version is having issues with WP 3.3.
