Hi Peter,
You’re absolutely right. I spent the better half of the day trying to figure it out before finally doing a database table repair (twice) and rebooting my mySQL container, whcih fixed it. Thank you for responding to my post, even though it was not an issue with the theme.

For anyone having the same issue, try increasing your memory in the wp-config.php file to 256M. I had increased mine to 96M per some previous posts, then tried 256 just for kicks and it worked!
