Hello all,

Just updated my Nirvana theme today and now am unable to access the Dashboard without getting the following error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘[‘, expecting ‘)’ in /home/content/82/11964382/html/TheTechInformist/wp-content/themes/nirvana/admin/sanitize.php on line 211

Any suggestions on what I can do, or correct via FTP so I can get back in?

Thanks

What I did was made this modification on line 211 of sanitize.php:

if ( !isset($input[$key][$subkey]) ) $input[$key] = array( $subkey => ” );

(I removed the [ ] around $subkey in array() )

But I would expect a fix real soon from Cryout, this is quite severe.

We’re sorry the issue affected your sites. We’ve published the update correcting it today.

The problem only manifests on PHP 5.3 and older, which do not support the array( [$key] => 'value' ) format.

still can’t access to dashboard, so how can I update the theme?

Same here.

Hello zed
Any news for this issue?
I can’t access to the dash board so I cannot update the theme with your fix
Can you help me?

[kevinharvell]

Waiting here as well for any tips since we are unable to access the dashboard to install the update. I’m familiar with FTP and can get into the site that way, but would rather not try overwriting the theme and lose all customizations.

It is safe to entirely delete the theme folder via FTP (if you are comfortable with FTP). You can then access the dashboard (as WordPress will re-set to the default Twenty theme) and reinstall Nirvana. All configured options will remain as they were (being stored in the database).

Nirvana 1.4.1 resolves this problem with PHP <5.3

Thanks. I just downloaded the theme again from the website and uploaded the Nirvana folder and all appears well again.

Thank you all for getting this squared away so quickly.
