Fell in love with a theme that was being offered for free on Themeforest and downloaded it: themeforest.net/item/melica-responsive-wordpress-blog-theme/11403244
Installed the theme on my new website last week perfectly. Happily started customizing the theme to suit my liking.
Updated to Wordpress 4.5.2 last week also. Didn't have any problems.

Today: Wordpress refused to let me into my website - HTTP ERROR 500. Seems like my theme is incompatible somehow. Thanks to WA Support I managed to log in but I had revert to the default Twenty Sixteen theme (losing all the customizations to the problematic theme in the process, sighhhh).
I thought perhaps the problem was that I didn't have the latest version of the theme (free themes don't come with updates and the version I downloaded had been updated since then). So I bit the bullet and purchased the theme.
Tried installing the purchased theme. Many times. Still no go. It's not a conflicting plugin issue.
Sigh..... I don't suppose anybody wants to buy a theme off me? :(
