Heya @lanocwebdesign,

It seems like your server is running PHP 5.3 or below. This is particularly worrying because PHP 5.3 hasn’t been receiving security updates for many years and is significantly behind current versions of PHP in speed and features. The error you’re receiving is caused by one of these missing features.

I’d recommend upgrading your server to at least PHP 7. They’ve made several speed improvements in each version so the higher you go, the faster your WordPress site can load.

(Also, I gave the theme’s comments a quick search and the author is asking people who encounter this issue to upgrade to at least PHP 5.4 in order to fix the issue.)

Cheers!

It’s because of the old PHP version you are using. PHP 5.3 (and those <5.3) doesn’t support the [] syntax, only PHP 5.4 and later versions do.

The PHP 5.3 version and those smaller than 5.3 only support the array() syntax for arrays.

The solution is to contact you web hosting to ask them to upgrade the PHP vesion on your web server to 5.4 or more. (some web hosting providers allow you to change the PHP version from cPanel, you could check if you have this option)
