Yesterday afternoon, in an effort to patch a WordPress security vulnerability, the server network (not us) installed an update. Unfortunately, that update took down the website for a short period around 4:30pm ET Friday and continues to be problematic.
In an effort to get the website back online, the quick fix was to reinstall an older theme of CTH to provide the server engineers time to troubleshoot the problem on their end. The issue was not created by us, and we sincerely apologize for the disruption as this is corrected.
Our website is currently running on the older WordPress theme that existed prior to the optimization that took place early in 2021 when we relaunched CTH 2.0.
This is the reason why the site looks and feels different, and why the mobile device responses are not as compatible.
Essentially, right now CTH is running on the old theme that was designed specifically for desktop/laptop users. I am told that engineers are working on resolving the issue, returning server compatibility and returning the website to the optimized CTH 2.0 theme.
I do not know how long it will take them to correct the issue. Again, my sincere apologies for the site issues you may be experiencing right now, and I appreciate your patience.

I know I’m repeating what many have already said: No apologies necessary! CTH is an amazing community, Sundance, and your many labors have not been in vain.
Ever onward, arms at ready;
Never falter, faith ablaze.
Gazing upward, marching steady;
Soon to be with the Ancient of Days!
Suspicious cat looks, well, pissed.
I LOVE that picture!!
Everybody should walk around with a lady bug on their noses. LOL! Cute!
Ah, the ol’ CCP Virus mandates strike again?
Could it be the real site “engineers” were the ones left over after the Vaccine Mandate devastation and only the worst rubes were left behind to do the work of the real engineers?
No worries. Wicked Son moved on as well, and WS is the best of the best. WS is now long-distance consulting with the old PTB.
These “engineers” may very well catch up quickly, as soon as they can find the Old Guys to help.
Thanks for the update. My iPad seems to work well.
I noticed the format issue on smartphone (“GovSpyPhone”) it but meh, it’s readable.
good to know – thank you, Sundance!
Here I thought it was me all along. I echo the thanks heard here!!!
Yeah me too.
I like this nostalgic CTH! Especially during this time of year. Any kind of CTH is fine with me. Merry Christmas everyone!
Thank you, Tuskyou!
A Merry Christmas to you as well.
It was the Russians…..
Its been reported there is a sceptical Cat pee tape out there…..careful.
Keep up the great work….this site and your analysis is a great service.
Suspicious cat first and now … pissed off cat. LOL. No apologies required.
It’s surprising that my reaction to the fatal error message was” oh, I hope the site is ok and not been trashed or hacked.”
Your site means a lot to a lot of people. It is the first place I look and the last refuge!😎
Old home week.I love the old platform….
Looks familiar to many of us.
Thanks for your work, consitently laboring, over many years.
Merry christmas!
CTH never disappoints … went through yesterday’s hiccup knowing there’d be an explanation forthcoming, and here it is … it’s good to have a fallback when things hit the crapper
I wish the reply notification and subscription thing would work.
That explains why it’s working better for me on my laptop!
That cat…omg…hilarious…where does SD find these cat photos…
Thanks for the brief explanation, and for everything you do to make this site what it is. No apologies needed. It’s just a little reminder of the world we all live in. A world where often times S**t happens. A world where we face it, fix it, and move on.
Yay!!! 4:45PM and I’m seeing the new version of the site back up and running!
Thank you, Sundance.
By the way, I want that kitty 😻
That’s me at 8:00AM after the boss tells me I need to fix, and finish, a project started by (an incompetent) someone else.
Is that Suspicious Cat looking, well, suspicious?
More pissed off.
I love being an American! What a blessing!
Love the pic of the cat!!! Where do you get those!!! So appropriate!
Wordkeeper… give them a call Sundance.
5:00pm here in the Northeast.
Everything is back to normal, accessing site from my phone(Android) with no problem.
Best car pic…after suspicious car that is.
Cat. Sorry couldn’t edit.
Although if you have car pics….😂
Thank you, Sundance and tha amazing crew at the Treehouse. You are all such superheroes in our fight for liberty. If the site has a bad day now and then, it is we, your guests who will be kind and helpful as we can. And we will remember to tithe to this good work as God leads so the site may flourish. All the best.
Alli.

does that explain why I could not get my donation to process?
I’d be here daily if it were printed on a bar napkin.
No apologies necessary. Explanation greatly appreciated. God bless you all and your tireless efforts.
MadKat! Purrfect! Best Wishes!
It looked to me like a ‘multisite’ problem in wordpress. I use WP too (the software, not the company) and multisite worked fine when I initially installed it, and then something happened and it suddenly was not working. I reinstalled not using multisite. I’m not saying this IS the problem, I’m just saying that my error caused a page with a rectangular box that looked exactly like the page I encountered here the other day.
It’s all good.. Sundance, your following knows very well the efforts the globullist will go to silence you and us.. Once you see their deceit and corruption you can’t un see it.. We know..
I thought CTH got off of WordPress altogether due to their canceling you/it. In any event, $$$ forthcoming in this Christmas season but, too, for the enormous effort year round.
Alejandro Mayorkas is a major problem…he must be stopped…
“Essentially, right now CTH is running on the old theme that was designed specifically for desktop/laptop users. ”
Since i exclusively use a desktop, i don’t care.
I have never been a cat lover, only dawgs, BIG dawgs, but Sundance, you might have changed my mind about cats. I love suspicious cat and angry cat and the cross eyed cat (which someone else posted). I might just have to change my mind about a cat. Even though they own YOU, not the other way around! That actually might be kinda nice for a change.
Was this about log4j patching? Because that has hit everyone for the past week and I’d guess most emergency patches in the past week likely relate to that.
If it is, make sure you get it fully updated everywhere, it’s a really nasty bug that will fully compromise you.
Sundance I love your cat pictures, they say over a 1000 words.
