php syntax error

Hey Benny! I’m using Swell Lite theme as well and this happened to me right after I updated to the latest version of the theme earlier today. I deleted the most recent version of the Swell Lite theme and manually installed my most recent older version from one of my backups and it fixed the issue. I’ll just refrain from updating until they come out with a new version that fixes the issue. Do you have an older version backup of the theme?

That did it. It’s annoying, because I like to keep things up to date, but at least it’s working again.

I feel the same way. Hopefully they fix the issue with a newer update soon.

Can anyone provide me with a backup of an older version of swell theme ? Mines died too and need to fix asap !

If you don’t have a backup, you can probably go to a 4 week old change log for the Swell-lite theme at this location and scroll all the way to the bottom of the page, look under the title Download in other formats: and click “zip archive”. That will download a zip file. Unzip/extract it. The extracted file will be named “swell-lite”. Open it and there will be a another folder called 1.1.1. Rename this folder to swell-lite and then zip it into a .zip file.

To Install– Under the “Themes” tab in your WordPress dashboard, click “upload theme” at the top of the page. Then choose the swell-lite zip file you made and click “Install Now”.

Let me know if that works out okay for you.
