    Hello. I’m using Avante Lite v1.1.3 with WP v6.0.1. I tried to register for the forum at themely.com, but I’m getting an error with my IP address and nobody has replied to my request for access in a week. I tried the “contact us” link, but it just spins and does nothing when I press Send.

    My client’s website was working fine when I set it up a year ago. Last week we discovered it only displays the first two sections of the home page, and then nothing. I found the following fatal PHP error in the log:

    
    PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught Error: Undefined constant "adaptiveHeight" in /var/www/vhosts/example.com/httpdocs/wp-content/themes/avante-lite/sections/testimonials.php:8
    Stack trace:
    #0 /var/www/vhosts/example.com/httpdocs/wp-includes/template.php(772): require()

    #7 {main}
      thrown in /var/www/vhosts/example.com/httpdocs/wp-content/themes/avante-lite/sections/testimonials.php on line 8
    

    Is there something you can suggest I do while I wait for you to fix this problem with your theme, so I can get the site back up and running?

    Please let me know if you need more information from me.

    Thanks,
    Lisa

    Updating here in case anyone else has this problem.

    Their code has some incompatibilities with PHP 8. You can downgrade PHP temporarily as a work-around until they fix the theme.

    One way is to add this to .htaccess and forcefully override to 7.4:

    
    AddHandler application/x-httpd-php74 .php .php7 .phtml
    

    Ideally, though, Themely will update the code to be compatible with PHP 8 soon.
