Single posts not working – blank

Can you link to a page with the issue? The demo seems to work:
1. https://wp-themes.com/pixelhunter/
2. https://wp-themes.com/?p=36

yeah, please look at solitude.in

Does the issue persist with all plugins deactivated?

yes it does. i even deleted the theme from themes folder and did a fresh install. problem still persists ??

Can you access your website’s error logs? Your hosting providers can help you find them. When you find them, could you copy all of the logs and paste them into PasteBin and link us that PasteBin page?

this was in error log, repeated –

PHP Fatal error: Can’t use function return value in write context in /~/~/~/solitude.in/public_html/wp-content/themes/pixelhunter/content-single.php on line 52, referer: hxxp://www.solitude.in/

Can you edit that file? Try replacing line 52 of that file with this:

if(get_the_tag_list()){ ?>

Thanks, that worked ! tag listing was messing with php ( i guess)

If this was not an issue in the previous version of the theme, I think maybe “get_the_tag_list” function was updated by WordPress and its return value was changed.

So you can’t use this:

if(!empty(get_the_tag_list())){ ?>

Which is basically the same as this:

if(get_the_tag_list()){ ?>

Hi,

@ashish I will update the theme ASAP. And yeah Andrew’s code above must pretty much solve the problem.

@andrew WordPress is okay. Nothing was changed. My bad that I used empty function with get_the_tag_list().

According to php.net

Prior to PHP 5.5, empty() only supports variables; anything else will result in a parse error.

It worked perfectly well on my local install as my PHP was 5.5, same for the theme preview. So didn’t know this problem existed.

Thanks

thank you both @andrew @hemant Acharya
