Cloned site pointing to original site's database - can this cause problems?
Can pointing a cloned site to the original site's database cause problems? I'm running a Drupal 7 site with a MySQL database sitting on a separate server.

I've cloned a theme, by duplicating and renaming it, in /sites/all/themes/. When I switch to the new theme, portions of the theme, a slideshow, don't work. It looks like views_get_view_result() in template.php is not returning anything. Is there some configuration I need to set up per theme? I'm new to Drupal and I am helping out a friend. The site...
