I imported the “shapely” theme and the report indicated the installation successful. I activated the theme and then got the following error
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘[’ in D:\domains\mydomain.com\httpdocs\1\wp-content\themes\shapely\inc\widgets\widget-home-clients.php on line 65
I get this error whether trying to load the admin or the main site.
This is using a default installation from my hosting provider.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Best wishes

Excellent thank you. Does this preclude this installation for updates to the theme?
