Parse error after updating the theme from 5.2 to 5.3

Hello! See private content box.

I get an error too when trying to upgrade from 5.2 to 5.3:

[Wed Nov 04 11:49:43.950495 2020] [php7:error] [pid 20817] [client xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:57415] PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘)’ in /var/www/html/xxxxx.xxx/wp-content/themes/woodmart/inc/integrations/elementor/elementor.php on line 46, referer: https://xxxxx.xxx/wp-admin/update-core.php?action=do-theme-upgrade

There is an extra comma “,” at the end of line 45 that breaks the PHP parser.

Ok, thanks! How can I fix it?

You need to edit the PHP file: I removed the comma and I was back online.
I think Xtemos will need to release a fix.

Basically look for these lines and change from this:

                                'label'           => esc_html__( 'Footer', 'woodmart' ),
                                'edit_in_content' => false,
                        ],
                );

to this

                                'label'           => esc_html__( 'Footer', 'woodmart' ),
                                'edit_in_content' => false,
                        ]
                );

(you need to remove the extra comma after the ])

Many Thanks!🙂 It works! Will it be fixed with the next update?

I hope so, it seems like a critical error for the ones of us using Elementor.
Anyway I am a customer like you and not an Xtemos employee, so I cannot say for sure what they are going to do.

Hello,

Thank you very much for your reports. We have just released a new update 5.3.1 with a fix.

Kind Regards

Thanks, @finetuning for helping me!🙂 And thank Artem Temos for updating us about the future fix!

Great, you are welcome!
