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

Got it working! Thanks for all your help.

For any readers with a similar issue with this theme, there is a configuration file in the theme & in line 35, change the version number.

Mine was set to 3.4.1, so I changed it to my version number & reactivated with success.

Fresh WordPress 3.9.1 install.

Unzipped Polished theme & manually added the folder to /wp-content/themes

Now I’m just getting the blank page issue again.

Just by installing the zip files from the ‘Upload’ option in WP-Admin.

I dread this, but I’m going to try a fresh install of WordPress & the theme to determine if its my server or just a corrupt installation. I haven’t done too much work yet so not a big deal.

Both of those gave me a permissions error.

“You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page” upon trying to activate..

I can say the 2014 is working fine, I don’t have the others installed.

I’ve seeked support there as well, thank you, though.

The problem happens with any third-party theme, & I first thought it would be a compatibility issue, but many users are using the theme with 3.9.1 as well, so I’m not sure what the issue may be at this point.

I edited the permissions for the “Polished” directory & its subfolders. By default, it was set to read-only. I read a lot that during the activation process that could propose a problem.

Haha I appreciate the irony, as I said, this is a completely local project, so security isn’t a huge concern right now. Once I know a little more about the platform, then I’ll work on the security, but most likely this site will remain on an external harddrive for presentation purposes.

It may never actually go live, if that helps ease security concerns.
