    A client of mine finished up a new website for himself and needed some assistance taking it live. At first I thought it would be a standard site move. It didn’t work out.

    I moved the files and database over and setup the URL’s and everything. Then when I took it live I got the dreaded 500 server error.
    ?
    I spent some time debugging and checked the error log and ran into these errors:
    [08-May-2017 22:46:21 UTC] PHP Parse error:? syntax error, unexpected ‘function’ (T_FUNCTION) in /home/###/public_html/wp-content/themes/zerif-lite/inc/jetpack.php on line 1

    I removed the duplicates. I did a lot of digging regarding this issue and so far everything I’ve tried came up empty. If anyone has any advice or feedback I’d appreciate it. It’s using PHP Version 5.4.45.
    ?
    If you need any further information, let me know.
