Update to 2.6.8 not working

[miltosbottis]

Hi,

I just updated lay to version 2.6.8 and since it installed I am unable to login to the website and I just get the message attached.

No idea what this is, but from reading it I get that there is something messing with it all on line 52?
Is there something I can do about this?

Thanks
Miltos

Hi guys,

Any advise on this?

Hey everybody!

Can you update to a php version that is higher?
Like php 7. Usually you can do this in your webhost control panel.
Sorry about this!

I have this exact problem also. Updating to php 5.6 also doesn't resolve the issue. I have reverted to lay theme version 2.5.2.

I'm with Godaddy hosting but can only upgrade php to version 5.6. Is php version 7 recommended for lay theme 2.6.8?

@miltosbottis I have had the same problem.

The fix I have found is to change the theme and css within phpMyAdmin panel from 'lay' to 'twentyfifteen'. Even if you do not have the theme, this will allow the wp-admin to become active so you can fix your site.

• once the wp-admin panel is active
• Delete the new active Lay theme.
• Install and activate the old Lay theme.
• Your site should at least work until a solution is found.
