Fixed

Well, turns out the fix was simple. So why wasn’t it documented in the update process? *shrug*

Anyway, if you’re in the same position of suddenly being thrown into the shit by WordPress Templates, what you need to do is this :

In your index.php file (i.e. the file your blog runs from) right at the top where it says

require(‘./weblog/wp-blog-header.php’);

add in

$wp_template_redirect = false;

so that it looks like this :

$wp_template_redirect = false;
require(‘./weblog/wp-blog-header.php’);

That’ll fix it for the moment. Well, until WP decides that’s shonky, and well, why would anyone NOT want a WP template?
