    Hello all,

    I’m working on a new Cyber Security blog as a class project (Cyber Security & Web Development). I have well over a year to complete this, so I decided to use WordPress since its a platform I’m not yet familiar with, & it’d be a learning experience. In other words, expect to see me here a lot, haha.

    I’m using a them from Elegant Themes titled Polished, version 4.0

    At first, after activating the theme I’d get a completely blank page, so I nulled the theme directory & switched back to the default theme. Edited some permissions on the directories & now I’m receiving the “Cheating, uh?” error message. I’ve done some research & haven’t come up with any solutions.

    I am working on the site locally on an in-house server, so I’m not using any FTP Clients, & I’m using WAMP for hosting.

    Any ideas on what could be going on here?

    What would be the security risk in that? It looks to be just for referencing the WordPress version?

    If that theme was intended for WordPress 3.4.1, then it shouldn’t be used on WordPress 3.9.1. It may not even function properly on a remote PHP 5.4 (for example) server! It’s… well, pretty old.
