 * Hi there – trying to install the Pixova Lite theme and I keep getting the error
   msg “**Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STATIC in wp-content/themes/pixova-
   lite/inc/components/related-posts/class.mt-related-posts.php on line 72**“
 * Can anyone help determine why I’m getting this error, and how to fix it?
 * Thank you!!!

 * Hi ellhwz,
 * that issue is related to your PHP version. Please check with your hosting company
   and make sure you are running at least 5.4.42.
 * Thanks,
    Cristian.

 * Thought it might be that, I checked and they’re only running 5.2, I can upgrade
   to at most 5.3 with them. Booo. I’ve sent them a requires to upgrade to more 
   recent versions!!!!!!
 * Thanks for the response!

 * Hi there, any idea how to roll back?
    I would prefer not upgrading to latest 
   php version for now. Many Thanks

 * Hello [@capucinemoreaux](https://wordpress.org/support/users/capucinemoreaux/),
 * You should take this issue to your server provider, there’s not much I can do
   about it.
 * Pixova Lite cannot function on pre-version 5.4.24 and for security issues, I’d
   recommend going with anything newer than that, considering PHP has reached v7
 * Regards
