WordPress 3.2 update have bought down this sites theme.
This tutorial site was running of the famous Arras theme. Wp 3.2 update has bought the theme down too. We all survived through the big 3.0 update. I wonder why this comparatively minor update has bought so many issues.
I will probably wait for arras to release an update than to run around looking for a fix..Until then enjoy 2011 Default theme.
UPDATE : The fix was comparatively easy, hence decide to go for it.
If you were to run Arras 1.5.0.1 on the latest build of WordPress 3.2, you would probably run into this error upon activation:
Fatal error: Call to undefined method Arras_Widget_Tag_Cloud::WP_Widget_Tag_Cloud() in ..../wp-content/themes/arras/library/widgets.php on line 355
To fix this, simply replace line 355 of /library/widgets.php from:
function Arras_Widget_Tag_Cloud() { $this->WP_Widget_Tag_Cloud(); }
to:
function Arras_Widget_Tag_Cloud() { parent::__construct(); }


My PHP file already has the correct verbage but I still have the error. Help??!!
Please contact Arras theme developers…I am not the developer of the theme, I just shared a fix for the bug so that users using the Arras theme can benefit..
Edited:
Yes, automatic update of WP3.2 cripples some sites (that I oversee). No discernible pattern detected yet.
The best rule in all WP up-date situations is to manually up-date via FTP. Do not change index.php in main folder or wp-contents folder. This should avoid most crashes/breakage.
The frequency of up-dates is getting old and trying, reminiscent of “XP Tuesdays”. Could WP be evolving into the next “OS” bloat monster?
It seems allowing users to put password-like names on core file folders could/would impede the hacking/security holes… and lessen up-date frequency.
I also have just updating my blog to wordpress 3.2. The theme that I use is not going down, but (yet?) I can’t find out where is the plugin configuration page.
I use arras on a couple of sites, because I love it. The fix was pretty simple even for someone with no idea when it comes to html and code stuff.
I too am running the Arras theme on my site (albeit with some CSS modifications to match my branding) and had some problems. Updating to the latest version of Arras and going through the Word Press forums helped resolve the issues.
Hi, I have just upgraded my WordPress (yes I am a little slow). Had this problem, but I uploaded a later Arras Theme and everything is fine.
But, is there an easy way to upgrade, rather than uninstalling it and deleting it (which I did) then uploading the new version?
I seriously do like Arras, it has to be one of the smoothest themes around.
