 * Hi. Yesterday my hosting company upgraded me to PHP7. This resulted in a blank
   Theme Options page except for the first component (theme elements). This morning
   my earlier PHP version was restored and the problem went away. I am using Firefox
   44.0.2 on Windows XP. My site is tushik.org .

 * I have a similar problem. Upgraded to PHP7, Cyberchimps Responsive Theme Options
   won’t open, instead I get a message as follows: Error Thrown – Function name 
   must be a string.
 * I found a forum message here but it doesnt quite help me: [http://cyberchimps.com/forum-topic/fatal-error-9/](http://cyberchimps.com/forum-topic/fatal-error-9/)

 * Hello,
 * Sorry for the delay in response.
    This issue has been resolved now. The theme’s
   compatibility with PHP7 was released months back, in the updated version 1.9.8.1.
 * Thanks.
