 * Hi,
 * I’ve downloaded and installed the free version of Juliet. I went to preview it
   in my wp, but I then got critical error message with lots of php errors. Has 
   this theme been updated recently? Is it an older theme?
 * Thanks for any help
 * Laura

 * Hi Laura,
 * Thanks for getting in touch, very sorry about the trouble!
 * This is an older theme, you’re right, and I’m guessing you’re probably running
   PHP 8 if you’re seeing critical errors. To be honest I’m not sure why the listing
   here shows an update last month, the current version (2.1.1) was released in 
   2020, not this past June.
 * Thanks for letting us know, we really appreciate it!

 * Just a quick follow up here, we did upload a new version with PHP 8 compatibility,
   but received a message that the theme was suspended and cannot be updated. If
   you do still need a PHP 8 compatible version, feel free to reach out via our 
   support system and we can provide it.

 * Thank you for letting me know. It’s a critical error on my site. The wordpress
   installed is missing the:
 * class-theme-updater.php
 * I have no idea why. Do you have a solution?
 * I had version 8.4 php, and then downgraded it to 8.3.

 * Very sorry to hear this! The odd thing is that Juliet doesn’t use or reference
   this file, but thanks for the tip on PHP 8.4, we’ll definitely investigate (although
   we aren’t able to update it directly here any longer).
