Cornerstone 5.3.3 Breaks Wordpress Dashboard

Wordpress 5.7.1
X-Theme 8.3.3
Cornerstone 5.3.1
PHP 7.0.33

When I upgrade Cornerstone to 5.3.3, it won’t allow admin access to the Wordpress dashboard. If I downgrade to 5.3.1 it works fine.

I’ve seen people with the same issue and the recommendation to upgrade to PHP 7.4, so I have had our client’s webhost (Hostway) update the PHP. The problem, however, is that the furthest they can currently upgrade is to PHP 7.0.33 on their shared servers.

Am I at an impasse here between Cornerstone’s requirements and the webhosts limits? Or, is there something that can be done to make Cornerstone compatible with older versions of PHP? Is this something that the Cornerstone developers are working to fix, or am I’m going to have to ask the client to reevaluate their hosting situation?

Hi @lydonassoc,

Thanks for reaching out!

If PHP 7.0.33 is the least you can do with your current server setup. I suggest that you will just wait for the upcoming updates from our theme because this issue was already solved in our unreleased version of the X theme. We don’t have any estimated time but rest assured that this issue is already fixed.

Hope that helps.

Thank you.

Thank you for the insight. I’ll hold for the next update.

Hi @lydonassoc,

Glad that we are able to help you.

Thanks
