 * Option Tree V: 2.0.5
    Theme: Reason WP Site: [http://bcbdigital.com/](http://bcbdigital.com/)
   The upgrade has set me back a good 3/4 day so far… ggrrrrr
 * The ability to effect the background within Option Tree has become null and void.
   No matter what I do it’s black.

 * Same here. I’m using Phazed from themeforest. After the upgrade of Option Tree,
   I get the non-ending spinning circle and the homepage with sliders doesn’t work
   anymore. Everything is black.

 * Theme authors were told to test the newest version of OptionTree with their existing
   themes. I cannot account for every single themes implementation of OptionTree.
   Not to mention most of the previous implementations I’ve seen are spotty at best.
   It’s no wonder the latest version is not working with their theme. I promise 
   you that OptionTree installed on a clean site with a normal theme works 100% 
   of the time. However, the compatibility of your theme with 2.0 branch is in question.
   You can revert to 1.1.8.1 until your theme author decides to make the necessary
   changes to their theme.
 * I’m actively working on patching the plugin to work with all the weird use cases
   and will be on these issues until I’ve found a workaround. Sorry for the trouble!
   I’m trying to get it fixed.

 * The theme should be compatible now, but you should definitely create a set of
   export files you can import back in if you need to downgrade to 1.1.8.1.

 * Export the xml, data, & layouts stuff in the OptionTree 1.1.8.1 settings export
   page. Save all that stuff as files. Upgrade to 2.0.8 and import those files if
   you need to. You’ll be good to go. If not remove 2.0.8 and install 1.1.8.1. and
   import you files again. That simple.
