I am using version 2.5 of the lite version of Colorway (I bought and installed the pro version but it seems to be causing me similar problems and plus I would still have to recreate the client site so I went back to the light version). I am using Wordpress 3.5 multi-site on a CentOS 5 box running PHP 5.3. The URL is http://strategiccorporateresearch.org/ Neither the site's front page nor any of its other pages render anything but the background. Looking at the page source, it seems Wordpress stops rendering somewhere in the middle of the wp_head function. The admin interface works normally. If I change to a non-colorway theme the site renders as expected. When I look at the PHP error log (WP_Debug_Log) I see two pertinent lines. (I'm leaving out some of the path info for security reasons) I grep for that function name in theme's folder on my server and I can find it defined on line 337 of ~/wordpress/wp-content/themes/colorway/functions/options-framework.php The file is present, intact and is readable by the webserver user. The client reports he last visited the site several weeks ago and only received reports that it was down today. I have tried disabling all of the site-specific plugins, but I haven't tried disabling all the plugins because I would have to disable them across all sites in my network. And that would make me sad. I would like to know how to fix this problem.
Okay. I bit the bullet. I network-deactivated all the plugins on my site and reactivated them for individual client sites. I turned all the plugins off for the above-mentionned site and the site came back. I started turning the plugins on one at a time. The one that broke the site is the Options Framework plugin, aka http://wptheming.com/options-framework-plugin/ My question is: how important is this plugin to Colorway's functioning?
Colorway theme contain its own theme option panel and WordPress also provide editing options for pages/posts. There is no need to add this plugin.
