 * Hi
    I updated the Child Theme for oriental – Oriental Writing on my WordPress
   Blog : [http://shilpaagarg.com/](http://shilpaagarg.com/)
 * And I got this message.
 * Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘[‘ in /home/content/81/11275581/html/wp-
   content/themes/oriental/functions.php on line 223
 * Could you pls rectify this.
    Thanks and Regards _[ redacted, support is not offered

 * I got the same message as Shilpa’s. Here’s my site and it’s not working at the
   moment because of the error: [http://www.thewowsandoopsoflife.com/](http://www.thewowsandoopsoflife.com/)

 * Thank you! Yes, that’s been fixed. But there’s another issue now….
    If I click
   on any category on my blog, it shows the first 5 posts (I have selected 5 posts
   to show on home page) and there is NO link to go to the remaining posts of the
   selected category viz Next or Older Posts at the bottom of the page. This option
   was there in the earlier version.
 * Hope it is rectified in the next update.
 * (Though for the time being, I have used the option of Infinite Posts on the blog
   to sort this issue)

 * Hi Again. According to the latest update of the Oriental Writing, the ‘Next or
   Older Posts’ Icon is there at the end of the page, but it is not visible completely.
   Only a part of the brown box is visible. Could you pls look into that? Thanks
   a TON 🙂

 * [@shilpakgarg](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shilpakgarg/): You can fix
   it by adding the following code to your style.css file from Appearance>Editor
   in your admin panel.
 * #content:after {
    bottom:-80px !important; }
 * This will fix your problem till the next update and hope, the theme developer
   will fix the issue in next update. If not, paste this code again after updating
   your theme. Hope this will help.
