Hi there,
This issue is happening because the version of PHP that is being used on your site is out-dated ( <= 5.4 ).
If you don’t have experience with these things as you’ve explained, I would recommend to contact your hosting provider for help.
We addressed the issue you pointed out, and have released a new version of the theme ( 1.0.7 ) to prevent this issue from happening to any users with older versions of PHP.
Thank you!
So you have fixed it for others – that still does NOT get me into MY site or admin. While I appreciate that you took steps to prevent this with others, telling me to contact my hosting provider doesn’t do a thing to help me.
My site STILL has a fatal error due to YOUR theme. My site had never even been launched – I got it hosted, logged into my admin, chose your theme and locked out with a fatal error since. All within one hours time.
Can you PLEASE explain to me how I can get back into my admin to do ANYTHING. I don’t have experience in these things, true – but contacting my hosting provider does what exactly?
I have used many themes in my time, even when they have been incompatible NEVER has it locked me completely out the ways yours has with a FATAL ERROR.
I have even tried FTP – and THAT can’t even get access to my site.
Thanks.
I just tested Relia on a WordPress site today with no problem whatsoever.
As SmartCat indicated, you need to contact your host as it appears that there is a problem supporting the required web server software for WordPress.

The FTP error has nothing to do with WordPress, as that comes from the web server at the host. WordPress sits on top of all that.
So, please refrain from anger with the developer offering a free theme and free support here. And, do contact your host as that appears to be the source of the problem.
I’m sorry,
It is not anger, it is called frustration. Which I have right to feel when my site sits untouchable unless I go through a lot of effort to fix it.
Using their free theme on my site gets them promotion of their services at no cost. Pretty good deal. That is the point of freebies? So offering a freebie gets them plenty in return, thanks for supporting them 🙂
I offer free services to people too – yet I have never referred them to anyone else to fix what I have botched.
Free or not – what I break offering my services is my responsibility.
Relia has been fixed after I posted originally, so you would not experience any errors as I have.
Thanks for the input.

the issue here is that your hosting provider is using a version of PHP which is not supported by WordPress ( https://wordpress.org/about/requirements/ ). It has nothing to do with the theme itself, the reason your site broke is because you are on an old version of PHP, as Skarjune said, the minimum requirement for WordPress is PHP 5.6. So please point the responsibility and your frustration at the party that is actually responsible for breaking your site, in this scenario it is your hosting provider that allowed you to host WordPress without the proper requirements being met.
We have no obligation to make our theme compatible with versions before 5.6, but we did that anyways after your initial post, because we want our theme to be used freely by as many people as possible. We provide many free & popular products, with over 300,000 users in total. It takes hundreds of hours to build these themes and get them up on WordPress, and instead of appreciation, we are getting unjustified anger, from a user that admittedly doesn’t understand technical speak. There are 2 previous messages both pointing you at the actual error, however that didn’t stop you from throwing more blame at the theme when the theme has nothing wrong about it.
To be completely honest, had you been nicer about this, one of our team members would have probably worked with you on fixing this for your personally, that ship has sailed at this time.
Please contact your hosting provider, that’s where the error is, we can’t do anything for you. This topic has been marked resolved.
Best regards
