    I updated to WP 4.2 and got the white screen of death. This theme doesn’t want to seem to play nice with the updated version of WP, or it least it isn’t for me. It looks like a couple of other people have had an issue as well. I had to rename the folder and revert back to a default theme. I tried deleting the theme and reinstalling it fresh, but get the following error:

    Unpacking the package…

Installing the theme…

The package could not be installed. The theme is missing the style.css stylesheet.

Theme install failed.

    Deleted the folder, reinstalled a second time and it worked. Not sure why it didn’t work the first time I did that, but all is good now. Weird.

    The theme works with 4.2. I wonder if it has to do with _how_ the update is done. Did you get your first update automatically from your host, or did you update yourself via your dashboard?

    I suspect you are correct. It was done by my hosting provider, and I’ve seen where a few other folks have had similar problems in that situations with this update.
