 * Be careful, it gets a bit messy. May need a fix. I’ve already removed and deleted
   it.
 * \wp-includes\theme.php on line 1 expected array.

 * Hey [@mayn90](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mayn90/) –
    I’ll take a look
   at this in a few hours and see what the issue is. Do you happen to know which
   version of PHP your hosting environment is running?
 * Thanks!

 * Hi [@mayn90](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mayn90/) –
    Sorry you’re having
   issues, but I can’t reproduce the error. I just tested the latest version of 
   the plugin running WordPress 4.8.2, on PHP 7.0.3 and PHP 5.2.4, and default twentyseventeen
   theme and I’m not seeing any errors produced by the plugin.
 * Next steps to debug would be to switch to a default WordPress theme (twentyseventeen,
   twentysixteen, etc) and see if that fixes the error. If not, then try deactivating
   plugins one by one until you no longer see that error.
 * Hope that helps. Thanks!

 * Hi,
    I have the same issue with any php version (<=7.1.11), wordpress 4.9.1 and
   custom theme (Happykids).
 * I tried to deactivete and re-activate all plugins and the issue happens only 
   with “Simple Staff List” activated.
 * Thanks!

 * Are you having the exact same error?
    `\wp-includes\theme.php on line 1 expected
   array`
 * If not, it’d be best to open a new support thread. If so, can you give me more
   information about the plugins you’re running?

 * I think it is:
 *     ```
       Warning: array_merge(): Argument #1 is not an array in **path**/wp-includes/theme.php on line 2241
   
       Warning: array_unique() expects parameter 1 to be array, null given in **path**/wp-includes/theme.php on line 2241
       ```
   
 * Thanks!
