Broke all the sites on my multisite too. I manually moved the wordfence folder out of the plugins folder, and the sites are working again.

@abigailm Thanks for all the additional information. Yes, it was 3.8.0 that I upgraded to that caused the problems. I must have done it almost immediately after it was released!

It’s definitely time consuming to switch themes too. We aren’t sure yet what we’ll do. I’m not sure how many people on the multisite are using evolve but at least 3 are who have put a lot of time into customizing it (2 of those especially).

Thanks for posting this Donna. Very helpful! Not sure yet if we’ll do the upgrade vs switch to another theme. I’m running a multisite WP. If we do the upgrade I’ll have to figure out which sites are using evolve and then customize each one of them. Not ideal. I wish at the very least we had been warned that home pages would change.

I just restored to the previous version of evolve for my sites, so people will no longer see the advertising when you go to bnhm.berkeley.edu. We are most likely going to switch to a different theme for the sites currently using evolve. It’s really not ok to release updates that insert tons of advertising and other unwanted content into people’s home pages!!

Also as I mentioned the header images had disappeared. This is the second time that has happened, plus some other problems, during evolve updates.

This is happening to me also, on a multisite installation. BackWPup (running 3.4.3 now) is scheduled to do one backup each night, but it’s doing 10 per day, 7 of them within a half hour time period, the others scattered throughout the day. The backup files are all the same size.

I think this just started happening within the last week, and before that it was just doing one backup as expected. I have 23 sites under this multisite installation. If you want any more information let me know.

Thanks very much! That fixed it!!

Just now I’ve returned custom.css to its original state (line 13 not commented out), so you can see the header and footer background. (I can’t leave the site in this condition for more than a portion of today as it’s embarrassing…)

Once again, if I comment out line 13 of custom.css (the line where evolve_main_pattern is set), the problem with the pattern appearing is gone and the background of the header and footer is blue (as desired). However, I do not want to change the custom.css file in any way. The above site is part of a multisite WP installation.

I’m sure if I could un-select a pattern the problem would go away, but it’s not possible to un-select a pattern once one has been selected. It’s only possible to change from one pattern to another.

Thanks for looking at it.

Sorry, not fixed after all. The footer still has the red circles with lines through them (the currently selected “pattern”). Nothing I’ve tried so far has gotten rid of that pattern. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

I added these lines to Custom CSS (via the theme customization, not by editing the custom.css file), and it seemed to solve the problem.

.header {
background-color: #003084;
}

Still, there seems to be a bug with not being able to un-select a pattern?
