Topic: cannot activate theme 1.5

Trying to activate new version of Arras theme 1.5. Consistently get Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '=', expecting ')' in...[gives exact location on server]. Error shows when I try to activate and when I try to preview.

Previously had 1.4.3.1 and it worked just fine. See theme on test site, www.kena3.com.

Re: cannot activate theme 1.5

I solved parse error! I referred to the link offered by Theme Guru: https://code.google.com/p/arras-theme/i…&can=1. Read the solution and the attempts by others. See especially Tamrig's post.

Summary:
Go to line 216.
function _chain_update_posttypes(&$posttype, $new_posttype, &$taxonomy, &$category=null) {

Now either copy/paste the following line, replacing line 216 w/ this one:
function _chain_update_posttypes(&$posttype, $new_posttype, &$taxonomy, &$category) {

Or, delete "=null". Then, just upload that file in the same folder, replacing the old file.
