thanks for your input. what other plugin(s) do you recommend?

Got it. Thanks for your help.

@esmi: Thanks for the reply. The new theme is a commercial framework and appears to be more complex than the old one. Hence, I opted to make the old one the child. How do I properly fork a theme?
What I’ve actually done is copy the entire contents of the old theme into a new theme folder and named it something else. Then just edited the stylesheet to include the new theme as template making it a child. Am I on the right path?

@zane: you’re right. Updating the PHP build fixed that error. Now on to other errors. LOL. Thanks again.

Something worth looking at. Thanks Zane.

looks like a PHP fatal error. check out your error logs for hints on what’s causing this.

looks like a misplaced character in there. maybe you can post the contents of your functions.php?

@perrik14 if i may ask, why would you like to do away with installing WordPress?
