Can you link to a page with the issue? The demo seems to work:
1. http://wp-themes.com/pixelhunter/
2. https://wp-themes.com/?p=36

Can you access your website’s error logs? Your hosting providers can help you find them. When you find them, could you copy all of the logs and paste them into PasteBin and link us that PasteBin page?

Can you edit that file? Try replacing line 52 of that file with this:
if(get_the_tag_list()){ ?>

If this was not an issue in the previous version of the theme, I think maybe “get_the_tag_list” function was updated by WordPress and its return value was changed.
So you can’t use this:
if(!empty(get_the_tag_list())){ ?>
Which is basically the same as this:
if(get_the_tag_list()){ ?>
Hi,
@ashish I will update the theme ASAP. And yeah Andrew’s code above must pretty much solve the problem.
@andrew WordPress is okay. Nothing was changed. My bad that I used empty function with get_the_tag_list().
According to php.net
Prior to PHP 5.5, empty() only supports variables; anything else will result in a parse error.
It worked perfectly well on my local install as my PHP was 5.5, same for the theme preview. So didn’t know this problem existed.
Thanks
