 * I moved the WP site from one server to another. After the move I got nothing 
   but a blank screen. I did a view source of the “blank” screen and there was a
   small amount of header code but that was all. Gleaned the forums and saw where
   someone suggested I try deactivating modules and revert to the Default template.
   Reverting to the default template “resolved” the blank screen but I’m at a loss
   as to what could make the theme not work on the new server. I’ve double checked
   and made sure all the files got copied over. The ownership “seems” to be okay,
   but in all honesty I’m really not sure what I need to look for here, since it
   worked just fine before I moved it.
 * Thanks!
    Leslie

 * I would disable all widgets and plugins and any options specific to the theme.
   If that makes the theme work then you can gradually add the widgets and plugins
   back in until you find the one causing the problem.
