Hello @creativethemeshq, thank you for your response!
After a bit more troubleshooting just now, I was able to get things working by deleting the theme and reinstalling it from the “Add Theme” WordPress directory in the admin. I think what may have happened was that preparing for the WP install I independently downloaded the theme and bundled it into all of the WordPress core files I uploaded via FTP. Something may have gotten lost in the FTP transfer.
Thank you so much for the quick response! I am looking to get the Pro version of Blocksy in the near future and you have instilled a lot of confidence in the support for the theme.
Cheers!
