  • Could you share the content of the function at line 78? Does the start.php file exist? Have you modified said file?

    It might have to do with file permissions if the start.php exists; your WordPress installation should be in /var/www/html. It uses thewww-datauser to open, read and modify files. If the files you are trying to access are in your/home/folder,www-data won’t necessarily have the permissions to access it.

    If it is the case, do not change the permission: you don’t want your open-to-everyone website to have access to the home folder and be able to modify any files there (.bashrc, .bash_history, .local/ for example are critical).

    Re-install the theme in /var/www/html/wp-content/theme/ with the correct permissions and ownership.

    Hi,
    Thank you for your feedback.

    Meanwhile, I’ve switched to another theme and then updated Neve’s theme and returned back to Neve and it solved the issue.

    Now, after the update, line 78 changed so it is not worth troubleshooting anymore.

    Once again, thank you for replying.
    Cheers.

    Hi @shix86!

    Thanks for choosing Neve!

    We’re glad to hear the issue was solved in the meantime! Keep in mind that it is always recommended to use the latest version of a theme and plugins, so you are up to date with bug fixes and new functionalities.

    Have a nice day!
