 * I seem to be having theme conflicts when **PublishPress Series Free** is activated,
   this happened after the most recent update.

 * Here’s what it looks like when **PublishPress Series Free** is deactivated ^
 * The latest update seems to have broken any theme on my site, I’ve tried multiple
   and tried fiddling with any kind of settings that might have broken things but
   the only way to get my site back to looking normal is to deactivate **PublishPress
   Series Free**.

 * Hi [@jeypawlik](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jeypawlik/). Thanks for using
   PublishPress Series. Please share more details about the testing you’ve done 
   and any errors you see.
 * This isn’t something we’ve had reported by other users, or can re-create in our
   testing.

 * I updated my wordpress to 7.1.1 and now again to 7.1.2, after the PublishPress
   plugin updated about a week ago and somehow the plugin has completely glitched
   out any themes on my site as shown above.
 * I’ve gone through, cleared all my cache, changed themes from my current theme
   to a default theme (Twenty-Twenty-Six), disabled all plugins, cleared my cache
   again, but my site only breaks once I re-activate the PublishPress plugin.
 * I’m not getting any errors, just that my site looks like a plain HTML site once
   PublishPress is activated.
 * My site is pretty simple in terms of WordPress sites, I don’t have many plugins
   going at once and I mostly just post short blog posts with art. Again, once I
   de-activate PublishPress, my site goes back to looking like it did previously.
   Not sure what could be causing this.

 * [@jeypawlik](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jeypawlik/) Maybe try deleting
   PublishPress Series and then re-installing? It’s possible there’s something corrupt
   with the update.
 * Beyond that, I’d recommend looking for an error message: [https://publishpress.com/knowledge-base/solve-errors-plugins/](https://publishpress.com/knowledge-base/solve-errors-plugins/)

 * Hi Steve, looked like it was a conflict with WPCode and I’ve removed a snippet
   that was causing the site to break. Thanks for walking me through this and I’m
   glad I could get it figured out (sometimes you just need to talk it through)
 * Much appreciate your help!
