 * Good job on the 2.1 update. It broke the entire wordpress site, on first use 
   after the update. I couldn’t even uninstall the theme from admin since that was
   broken too.
 * Fortunately I was able to track down the problem to 2 lines of code in wp-content/
   themes/narga/core/library/layouts/custom-header.php at lines 56 and 60.
 * Both !empty(get_header_image()) calls in the if statement needed to be replaced
   by first putting the return value of get_header_image into a variable and using
   that variable instead. The empty function requires a variable.
 * So. Good job testing that guys. It kinda looks like you didn’t.

 * Jeeeees…..
    I used the Narga theme before on one site, it worked OK apart from
   the site not being able to open a menu when on a smart phone/tablet. As I was
   told it was fixed, I just installed on a clients site and got the same problem
   as you describe above!
 * (Fatal error: Can’t use function return value in write context in /storage/content/
   12/146012/hyssna.se/public_html/wp-content/themes/narga/core/library/layouts/
   custom-header.php on line 56 )
 * (Site address is [http://hyssna.se/](http://hyssna.se/))
 * P*A*N*I*C!!! Did you use a ftp to update and make it work again?
 * My problem is that I don’t have access to their ftp right now, but hopefully 
   I can find it.
 * How do I fix it? Can I just go into the site/wp-content/themes and delete the
   narga-folder altogether? Or do I break the site even more then???
    Extremely 
   grateful if you can tell me how you fixed it, or if above suggestion would work…
 * Thank you in advance!

 * I did FTP via my hosts control panel and edited the file in place.
 * As I mentioned, above the file you want is: wp-content/themes/narga/core/library/
   layouts/custom-header.php
 * And track down lines 56 and 60
 * Before line 56 enter the code
 * $himage = get_header_image();
 * and then in both lines 56 and 60 replace get_header_image() with $himage
 * That should fix the problem. I also suggest downloading an add-in to disable 
   theme updates. You don’t want a future ‘untested’ update to break your site again.
 * You should also, through your hosts control panel, backup your install before
   doing this (or if you choose to delete the theme.)
 * Deleting the theme via FTP shouldn’t break your site as far as I know, WordPress
   should revert to a basic theme (or at least tell you to choose a new one.) If
   you feel daunted by editing the code, this may be a better choice for you.

 * Thank you thank you thank you!!!
    I will definately try to fix it first by using
   the codes you provided, hopefully that will make it work. After that, believe
   me, I will do a proper backup and then delete the narga-file from both pages 
   I have tried it on. I’m done with it. Shame though, I think it’s nice; the menu
   on top and the background color over the whole page… Ohwell, rather a working“
   dull” site, than a broken “cool” one… 😉
 * Thanks again!

 * Just for information, using the codes above fixed it, and I also tried deleting
   the theme (via ftp) and that made me able to login again and choose another theme.
 * So two possible solutions. Thanks Ripsnorta!
 * Best of luck!

 * Sorry about your problem. It’s fixed in version 2.2 that has been summited to
   Theme Review Team.
