I have Options 1.0 for a theme in my Multi-site wordpress network. I host my own site and after I upgraded to 4.6, my Options themed site broke. I found a fix that required deleting the shortcode function in the common.php file and that got the site back up; however, all my shortcut functions no longer work and I had a lot of content organized that way. Should I try to update it to 1.85? Would that make a difference or is there a different shortcode function that I can add back to the common.php file that would recognize the shortcode? Thanks! https://wordpress.org/plugins/options-framework/ UPDATE: The removal of code from the common.php file did not stop the shortcode from working. There was a separate issue with the update having to do with plugins not working or getting deleted after/by the update. What was this fix that you found in common.php? I’m having the same problem and haven’t found a fix. Sorry – here are the details for the fix: I found them on this website: http://stephenpkane.com/options-theme-breaks-on-upgrade-to-wordpress-4-6/ Here were the steps I did: 1) Locate the following file via ftp and download to your desktop wp-content/themes/options/framework/functions/common.php 2) Delete the first function (make sure to delete the complete function – all steps): function has_shortcode 3) And then upload/overwrite the file on your server, this will clear up that error. Hope this helps. As I mentioned, I got my site up but there were a lot of shortcode errors, which I first thought were from deleting this code. However, I soon found that many of my plugins changed or in some way or another were also broken by the upgrade so I had to uninstall and reinstall those too. Hope this helps.
