Installing a new, custom theme has "broke" current Wordpress installation

I've just finished creating a new custom theme based on the underscores framework, and It's ended up breaking my current wordpress installation after applying it.

Although everything is running fine on the front end, the back end is running really weird.

The following issues have presented themselves:

  1. Trying to add a new post (either regular, or one of the new custom post types I've defined) just results in a blank page. Although the post has been created, the admin section gets stuck on the wp-admin/post.php page.
  2. My media library no longer shows up in the media browser. Although all 6,000+ images are still there, none show up.
  3. When logged in, it takes ages for the page to load in the Wordpress admin bar, as it appears it can no longer display the site stats (it just shows the broken image icon after it's finally finished loading in, when the new theme is selected).

I've tried to refresh the permalinks, but this hasn't worked.

Any ideas? I was hoping to re-launch my website today, but it looks like I might have to put it on hold...

Managed to sort this out. Turns out a function I had written to add a custom field to menu items broke the entire back end. Thanks for the help everyone!

Get ahold of the devs for your framework. Your experience is not an uncommon one. It has happened to my sites several times. Unless you want to tweak the php yourself, they will have to help you.
