 * Hi I am unable to save settings like adding a logo, selecting a color scheme,
   via my dashboard. I am getting this error:
    PHP Warning: array_merge(): Argument#
   2 is not an array in /hermes/xxx/xxx/dom.xxx/public_html/wp-content/themes/clipper/
   framework/scb/Options.php on line 44
 * PHP Warning: array_merge(): Argument #2 is not an array in /hermes/xxx/xxx/dom.
   xxx/public_html/wp-content/themes/clipper/framework/scb/Options.php o
 * Is this the cause of me being unable to change settings?
    I had an ‘error unable
   to establish database connection’ which led me to repair the database. It was
   the options table that was the issue. The site is running now but without the
   ability to change settings.
 * I have disabled all plugins and tried a fresh re-install of the theme.
 * I know this is an issue that may not be something the community supports however,
   the host says it is a theme issue, the theme author says they can’t replicate
   the issue. I’m stuck.
 * Line 44 says ‘$data = array_merge( $this->defaults, get_option( $this->key, array()));’
 * I appreciate any help, this is the first time in 3 years I have ever asked for
   support on the forums. I have been able to find solutions for most things without
   having to start my own topic. Thanks immensely for that.

 * If you use a commercial theme and need support, please go to their official support
   channel. In order to be good stewards of the WordPress community, and encourage
   innovation and progress, we feel it’s important to direct people to those official
   locations.

 * Forum volunteers are also not given access to commercial products, so they would
   not know why your commercial theme is not working properly. This is one other
   reason why volunteers forward you to the commercial product’s vendors. The vendors
   are responsible for supporting their commercial product.
