 * I need to flag this to the Freemius team. Can you tell me which pages you’re 
   seeing this error?

 * I got this feedback from other Freemius’ developers.
 * Looking at the code, this means that the WP function `get_theme_root()` is returning`
   null` for your site. The only way this can happen is through the wrong use of
   the `theme_root` filter hook.
 * To find the “offender,” you might need to turn off plugins and the theme one 
   by one until the error message disappears. Of course, excluding mine, for now.
