Fatal error: … on line 36

When translating a site from php 5.6 to 7.xx, you can get the following template error:

FATAL ERROR: CAN’T USE THIS AS A PARAMETER IN / TEMPLASTS /****/LAYOUTS/FILE.PHP ON LINE **
Basically, the line that causes this error looks something like this:

BDT_HEADERSTYLE FUNCTION ($ IT)
It is treated simply:

change $ this, for example, to $ then or any other unused variable.

Make a replacement in the entire template file.

Thank you a lot, Artyom
Now it works. I changed it to $ktoday wich will never be used by other developers, I hope)

Maybe you should update your plugins with new variable so more people will use it out of box with no code edits.

Thank you.
