# WordPress 4.6 Update Options Theme

 * I have Options 1.0 for a theme in my Multi-site wordpress network. I host my 
   own site and after I upgraded to 4.6, my Options themed site broke.
 * I found a fix that required deleting the shortcode function in the common.php
   file and that got the site back up; however, all my shortcut functions no longer
   work and I had a lot of content organized that way.
 * Should I try to update it to 1.85? Would that make a difference or is there a
   different shortcode function that I can add back to the common.php file that 
   would recognize the shortcode?
 * Thanks!

 * UPDATE:
 * The removal of code from the common.php file did not stop the shortcode from 
   working. There was a separate issue with the update having to do with plugins
   not working or getting deleted after/by the update.

 * What was this fix that you found in common.php? I’m having the same problem and
   haven’t found a fix.

 * Sorry – here are the details for the fix:
 * I found them on this website:
    [http://stephenpkane.com/options-theme-breaks-on-upgrade-to-wordpress-4-6/](http://stephenpkane.com/options-theme-breaks-on-upgrade-to-wordpress-4-6/)
 * Here were the steps I did:
 * 1) Locate the following file via ftp and download to your desktop
    wp-content/
   themes/options/framework/functions/common.php
 * 2) Delete the first function (make sure to delete the complete function – all
   steps):
    function has_shortcode
 * 3) And then upload/overwrite the file on your server, this will clear up that
   error.
 * Hope this helps. As I mentioned, I got my site up but there were a lot of shortcode
   errors, which I first thought were from deleting this code. However, I soon found
   that many of my plugins changed or in some way or another were also broken by
   the upgrade so I had to uninstall and reinstall those too.
 * Hope this helps.
