Vision,
I'm sorry you are having problems. Due to WordPress requirements, Flynn - the developer of Atahualpa, had to make some code changes.

One of these code changes can cause a conflict if 'Suhosin' is installed as part of PHP on a site. The solution is to tell Suhosin to whitelist the BFA code. This is detailed in one of the other posts.

Different sites have different versions of PHP installed. For example, on the host I use (I'm a long time customer) Suhosin is not part of PHP, however for new sites at the same host, Suhosin IS part of PHP!! (i discovered this when setting up a site fot a customer of mine) I guess that new users are on a different server.

Then comes the issue of how much control your host allows you. I can go in and edit the php.ini for my site and restate the server, others can add a php.ini override, some can't use a php.ini at all and have to contact their host's tech support to get past this issue.

Also, when you add a post to an existing thread it can get lost. My suggestion is one user/one issue pre thread.

If you decide to switch themes, I wish you best of luck.

I am having the same problem as Carlo. 3.5.3 to 3.6.4, database is no longer found after upgrading.

did you check to see if you have Suhosin installed?

Do not know what Sahusin is. I never installed it. Using bluehost.

strange cause I am not seeing sohosin anywhere in my phpinfo file

oh I was misspelling my search,

it is showing up there

now what do I do?

read this: Try this if you are getting blank page with Atahualpa 3.6.x

Contact your host and ask them how to whitelist something with suhosin

I'm just not going to upgrade for a while. Who knows, maybe I'll switch to a themeframe theme. The various themes quirks on my sites are starting to drive me crazy.

Thanks for trying to help though.

Attempting to update from Atahualpa 3.5.1 to 3.6.4. Running Wordpress 3.1.
The header and the center column (posts) disappear when I activate 3.6.4. The left and right columns are still there.

My site is stillwaterclub.org

Any ideas?

You may have teh 'suhosin' issue. see if you are getting blank page with Atahualpa 3.6.x (Suhosin issue)

I put a php.ini file with the line "suhosin.executor.include.whitelist = bfa://" in the root directory of my site.

No Joy. :=(

You need to contact your host and find out how to white list something for suhosin

Hello,
Thumbnail doesn't work and no except.
I only have the titles

what is your url?

http://blog.aki.ch/

I go back to 3.5.3

do an export of your settings and attach them to a reply

Right here

Aki - I just imported your settings in 3.5.3 and set a post to have a featured image. I then switch to 3.6.4 and the excerpt and featured image are there

Try disabling all your plugins

Hi Juggledad, Larry & Flynn,
I haven't run into the Suhosin problem yet... But is this something that can or will be addressed in ATA 3.6.5 and up? i.e no further need to whitelist bfa?

Just curious whether the "fix" is something I will need to address proactively from now on.

Thanks!
Ken

Let's just say that is the goal but I am not sure as to an ETA.

This issue came about because WordPress no longer allows the use of the php 'eval()' function. This is how Flynn was able to allow the use of php in so many areas of the theme (like the new widget areas). The theme was switched to use 'stream wrappers'.

Now this in itself is not a problem with php, however (don't you just hate however's) some sites have decided to use an add on with php, called 'Suhosin'

Suhosin is an advanced protection system for PHP installations. It was designed to protect servers and users from known and unknown flaws in PHP applications and the PHP core.

Suhosin has over 100 options for tightening security (I wonder if you could do anything if you turned them all on at the highest level) and Atahualpa has no control over if it is installed or what options are turned on.

So it seems to me there are four possibilities for this issue. (1) Users have to whitelist the bfa code, (2) WordPress allows the use of the 'eval()' function (it's allowed in plugins), (3) Flynn figures out some other way to execute the php in the options (not sure if there is another way) or (4) the theme gets crippled by removing the ability to add php to the options.

as an aside. I have a site on WestHost.com and never ran into the Suhosin issue. A customer asked me to create a site for them, so I got the m the domain and space and low and behold, I ran into the Suhosin issue. They were on a different server at the same host. The two machines were configured differently. So how do you deal with an issue like this?

Quick question about updating from 3.5.3 to 3.6.4:

No suhosin...no problem. But, what else can I expect to have to do manually after the upgrade? Will I have to move/re-establish graphics such as the header logo etc?

Anything else?

Thanks.

Graphics... yes and if you upgrade using the recommended manual method you may have to update some paths to reflect the new theme folder.
