Parse Error?

Hi @archaeis,

Sorry about that. The latest version of Baskerville uses a type of code conditional called a shorthand ternary, which is supported in PHP 5.3 or later. Your website is probably hosted on a server running an older version of PHP. WordPress recommends version 7 or later, but offers support for version 5.2.4 and later: https://www.ads-software.com/about/requirements/

I’ve changed it back to the non-shorthand variant of the conditional to fix this issue, but I’ll have to wait another two hours before submitting the update, since I just uploaded a new version of Baskerville and the review process needs a little breathing room.

For now, you can fix the issue on your own installation by going to Admin > Editor and following these steps:

1. Open index.php.
2. Go to line 6 and replace the following: $paged = get_query_var( 'paged' ) ?: 1; with $paged = get_query_var( 'paged' ) ? get_query_var( 'paged' ) : 1;
3. Click the Update file button.

1. Open header.php.
2. Go to line 16 and replace the following: <?php $background_image_url = get_header_image() ?: get_template_directory_uri() . '/images/header.jpg'; ?> with <?php $background_image_url = get_header_image() ? get_header_image() : get_template_directory_uri() . '/images/header.jpg'; ?>.
3. Click the Update file button.

These are the same changes that the update going live later today will contain, and they should fix the error.

The update has been submitted and should be live shortly.
