Bug #289
closedUser encounters Blank Screen after changing theme

Description
from a post on the Commons Help forum:
----
I just started a new blog for the ITP Core 1 class ( http://core1.commons.gc.cuny.edu/ ). I made a hello world post, and it looked fine. I then changed the theme from the kubrick mu theme. It looked fine in the preview, but now it is loading a blank page -- no html (completely empty in the code view).
One thing that may be relevant - I tried BP-commons first, as it was authored by Boone Gorges and was identified as the AC theme. I figured that the blank image was simply that there was no snapshot jpg. Maybe this is helpful. I tried going back (in the browser) to the cached page in order to try to load a different theme. It loaded the PHP string (i think it was well-formed, but I can't be sure) but the public view was still white/empty.
Boone, do you have time to look into this today? If not, I can try to troubleshoot.

This is almost certainly caused the fact that that bp commons theme was old and calling functions that no longer exist. I've made it unavailable sitewide.
I also changed core1 manually to a different stylesheet. For future reference, on the blog edit pages like http://commons.gc.cuny.edu/wp-admin/wpmu-blogs.php?action=editblog&id=382 look for the keys 'template' and 'stylesheet'. By changing them both to a known-working theme, you can bring a blog back to life.

You rock. Thanks for getting to this so quickly, Boone.
