 * I installed this theme yesterday.The Main page works fine but single posts are
   all blank except header image. I have a couple of other themes and they are working
   fine. How do i solve this?

 * 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](http://pastebin.com/) 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](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ashish/) I will update the theme
   ASAP. And yeah Andrew’s code above must pretty much solve the problem.
 * [@andrew](https://wordpress.org/support/users/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
