 * I just updated my theme, and apparently something didn’t go well. Since doing
   so, now anything I try to access on my site gets me:
 * Fatal error: Can’t use function return value in write context in /home/content/
   10/11058810/html/wbmg/wp-content/themes/auberge/includes/setup/setup.php on line
   806
 * Am I totally dead in the water, or is there a fix for this?

 * Use your FTP client or the file manager in your hosts control panel to rename
   the auberge theme folder to auberge.old (or something similar).
 * That should allow the default WordPress theme to take over when you go back and
   log in at /wp-admin. Then you can sort out what might have happened with the 
   theme update.
