 * I have updated PHP as requested but now there is a critical error with the Bjorn
   theme – it says: ‘The theme is installed but incomplete. This theme failed to
   load properly and was paused within the admin back end’. And the website doesn’t
   work anymore while dashboard works only in recovery mode.
 * Can someone assist or suggest what to do with this issue?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fupdated-php-critical-error-with-theme%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Support of all commercial themes and plugins is out of scope for these forums.
   While we will not close your post, we also cannot guarantee any support at all,
   be that by volunteers or the developers. We recommend you instead use the developer’s
   official contact for their premium offerings, as that is the most direct line.
