Arras Theme breaks WordPress 3.2 and generates a blank screen. Here is the solution.
If you are rushed, as I was, to upgrade to the3.2 version of WordPress and if you are using the Arras theme, you might get the white screen of death. After upgrade you might not be able to see anything. The solution is rather simple and it worked for me like a charm. Go to the library subdirectory of the Arras theme (wp-content/themes/arras/library/widgets.php), and replace on line 404
$this->WP_Widget_Tag_Cloud();with
parent::__construct();lines 403-405 should look like this….
function Arras_Widget_Tag_Cloud() { parent::__construct(); } Original discussion and tip on the WordPress Codex site
Hey, thanks for a good guide. At first I didn’t get it to work, but at second try it worked. Do you know why this happened?
Does anybody know why Arras Theme is not able to be downloaded anymore?
Where can this be found? I’ve been on their website but not posible to download anymore.

Thanks, your a champion,
This happened to my website too, and after a couple hours of searching to find the problem, i found your page here and quick fix.
Thanks a whole heap, worked easily.
How did you manage to figure that was the problem?
I had this problem – initially I thought it was WordPress or indeed my plugin entry on the MySQL database but nothing fixed it until I tried this.
Thanks for this excellent solution !!
Thank you man! I made one site for client using this theme and after upgrading there was blank screen, i was very scared because it’s not my site. Now it’s working fine.
