 * If you have the syntax error upon installing Ignite, I’m very sorry. There is
   a fix on the way.
 * Here’s how to fix your site now:
 * In functions.php line 380, change this:
 * `$remove = [];`
 * to this:
 * `$remove = array();`
 * The original syntax isn’t supported in older versions of PHP which is the cause
   of the fatal error.
