 * Hi, both Catch Box and Catch Everest cause an internal server error when running
   HHVM:
 *     ```
       Fatal error: syntax error, unexpected ':' in /.../wp-content/themes/catch-everest/inc/catcheverest-functions.php on line 366
       ```
   
 * In Catch Box the error is:
 *     ```
       Fatal error: syntax error, unexpected ':' in /.../wp-content/themes/catch-box/inc/custom-header.php on line 218
       ```
   
 * In both cases this is structure happening but not allowed in HHVM :
 *     ```
       if () {
         ...
       } else if () :
           ...
       else :
           ...
       endif;
       ```
   
 * Changing it either to:
 *     ```
       if () {
         ...
       } else {
         if () :
           ...
         else :
           ...
         endif;
       }
       ```
   
 * Or to
 *     ```
       if () {
         ...
       } elseif () {
           ...
       } else {
           ...
       }
       ```
   
 * will fix the problem and make Catch themes compatible with HHVM 🙂

 * Looks like I need an account there to post. Ddon’t they monitor these forums 
   on WordPress.org? That’s a pity.
 * By the way, love your WEN Sol theme! Are you going to release it in the WP.org
   Themes repo?
