Comment on Stallion WordPress SEO Theme by SEO Dave.

WordPress SEO Theme If this was right after FTP upload and it never worked looks like a failed upload or a corrupt zip file since that error suggests at least one file is missing online.

Do you see the missing file

/stallion-seo-themes/ttk_functions.php

On your computer (offline)?

If that file is on your computer and you’ve used the extracted zip file to install on other domains with no problem that would point to failed FTP upload (I’ve had Filezilla completely mess up an FTP upload, put parts of an upload in the wrong folder online!) in which case I would delete (via FTP) the online folder

/wp-content/themes/stallion-seo-themes/

and try FTP again.

BTW By deleting the above folder is a quick WordPress login error fix if the error is due to a theme/plugin, it will force WordPress to activate the default TwentyEleven theme, so if you ever find yourself locked out of the Dashboard by a broken theme or plugin deleting the problem theme/plugins folder deactivates the theme/plugin giving you Dashboard access etc… Don’t forget you’ll need the TwentyEleven theme installed (or whatever the default is at the time), so if you delete the TwentyEleven theme on your installs (I used to) you won’t have the backup theme.

If this is your first Stallion installation with that zip file download again from to rule out a corrupt zip file and try again. When you extract the zip file keep a look out for corrupt file error messages.

If a newly downloaded zip file/FTP upload generates the same error there’s a chance your server is running security software that doesn’t like obfuscated PHP code and might be treating files with obfuscated code as potentially damaging code and deletes the files! So far had one customer with this problem, basically some hosts run security scripts that look for obfuscated code because hackers tend to hide their code by obfuscating it, great idea to assume all obfuscated code is a security risk IF developers didn’t use obfuscated code as well :-)

Stallion has some of the Stallion ID activation code obfuscated to slow down those who null themes (remove the activation system) and give them away for free. Probably not the issue, but to confirm this you’d upload Stallion as before and check what was uploaded into /wp-content/themes/stallion-seo-themes/ if files like ttk_functions.php are missing you know the problem.

LMK how you get on, good to rule out potential Stallion bugs.
