 * Oh I see, thanks! That site having the problem is almost exclusively used for
   testing wordpress releases before applying them on our production site (though
   we also occasionally use it to preview a site/page before deploying it on production,
   which is actually how we discovered the issue this morning). Our development 
   is done on local installs on the developer machines (and then tested on the staging
   site).
 * I’ll watch it and retest it over the next few beta updates and if it looks like
   it is still going to be a problem before the next stable update (guess I should
   check to see when that is) I’ll report it as a bug.

   point me in the right direction to get started on that?

 * I’m having this same problem, tried the solution by echoleaf and it did not work
   for me either. I am wanting to use a regular thumbnail gallery on a page (all
   other types work without getting the error).

 * Yes, just change the plugin, test, then push the change to your live site and
   you’re good to go. be sure everyone knows that menu is in a plugin though or 
   they’ll be confused when they go looking for it in the menu screen 🙂

 * To add to Ipstenu’s response: They’ll also then get a drop down menu in the dashboard
   where they can easily switch between the two sites on the network.

 * Oh and as for the menus, we have a menu that is static between most of our sites
   with a few exceptions – so we made a plugin for that menu that we can throw into
   the widget position on sites that share the menu and can just put a regular menu
   widget in on the sites that need something custom.

 * Yes, you are understanding correctly. I think you could just setup some default
   settings in your theme though, and then they could change them from the defaults.
 * There is also this: [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/yd-wpmu-sitewide-options/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/yd-wpmu-sitewide-options/)
   but I’ve never used it and don’t know if it works for theme options or just plugins.

 * Yeah, it’s activated on several sites now but it doesn’t fix anything until I
   enter SMTP settings. If I don’t put any SMTP settings in it acts just like it
   did before – no emails. I get the output in the pastebin above when I try to 
   send a test email, with the result:
 * Could not instantiate mail function.

 * Hi nctech2012,
 * That is the same plugin that we used to get the debugging output. I forgot to
   use pastebin before so it was removed. Here is the output we’re getting:
 * [http://pastebin.com/hekj5eeQ](http://pastebin.com/hekj5eeQ)
 * Unfortunately just installing that plugin didn’t do anything to fix the problem
   here. We are currently using it as a work around until we can get phpmailer working
   again – our smtp passwords expire every three months so it would be a bit problematic
   to use it long term (we run a MU network of around 50 sites).
 * The only thing listed on the changelog for 3.4 is “Update PHPMailer to 5.2.1”.
 * Thanks! Glad you got yours working.
