Update broke installation

    Hi,

    I just applied the last update to shop isle theme and WordPress broke, giving me an error code 500 when trying to access the back- or the front-end.

    A brief debugging revealed that I got four instances of the same error (“Can’t use method return value in write context”) in lines 301, 414 , 603 and 678 of template-frontpage.php.
    I commented out the four IF blocks (all related to woocommerce, which I have not installed) and it works, but this is bad practice. Can you please suggest a better solution?

    My PHP version is 5.5.

    Best regards,
    Moolander

    Correction: I’ve installed and later uninstalled woocommerce, in case it makes any difference.

    Hi,
    Looks like I have the same problem!
    After updating my Shop-Isle-Theme on home-page I get this Error.

    “Fatal error: Can’t use method return value in write context in themes/shop-isle/template-frontpage.php on line 301”

    Hopefully solution to this problem come soon.

    Hi there,

    As mentioned in another thread, this error usually occurs with lower versions of PHP. The theme is fully compatible with the latest version of PHP, but will try to fix this as soon as possible and release an update to make everything ok with other versions too.
    Meanwhile you could maybe talk to your hosting provider and see if they can upgrade the PHP version? It’s always better to have the latest version, also for security reasons.
