Thanks for responding.
RE: __construct
Yes, I realized that late. I was able to fix that.
The current option tree folder is within the theme’s folder
/wp-content/themes/theme-name/option-tree/
it is version 2.0.12; the updated one is 2.6.0, if I’m right. Here’s what happened:
– removed old version
– uploaded zipped new version
– uncompressed zipped new version
– opened website
– i get 500 server error (on all pages including those within WP Dashboard)
BUT when I put the old version back, everything is ok
