can't install Shapely

Shapely
#1

Hello Support! I like the look of the Shapely theme, but when I try to install it in WordPress, it crashes.
I upload the .zip file into Wordpress, and then when I click to Activate it another page opens with the following message:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘[’ in /var/home/mywebsite.com/www/wordpress/wp-content/themes/shapely/inc/widgets/widget-home-clients.php on line 65

At this point I can’t open my homepage (which I have changed to ‘mywebsite.com’ in the above message in order to maintain privacy!) I have to go into my website via FTP and then delete the Shapely folder in order to log back into my Wordpress page.

Any suggestions gratefully received!

I am on a MacBook Pro using Mac OS Sierra and the latest version of WordPress

Thanks …

Thank you Movin for your quick response … it’s refreshing when you find a support service which actually responds fast, especially when the service is free.

I shall try the new version and get back to you.

best wishes
