Server=Linux
PHP=8.1.30

New/clean install of WP from Softaculous/cpanel on a “testing folder”
My customer would like to use the template monster (free) theme (linked above). They have also chosen 2 other themes of interest. All 3 cause a critical error and WP goes dark. Resetting the theme to any “stock” theme (23,24,25) brings everything back.
The theme uses Cherry (3.1.5.1) as the main framework. Activating just the Cherry theme also throws critical error.
I am leaving the error message at the domain since this is just testing and not live AND I have enabled verbose errors (in PHP) which gives more info.
I am assuming that the theme is not compatible with WP 6.7 or PHP 8.1. Before I move away from what my customer has chosen as their starting point (or roll back the WP install to an earlier version), I thought I would ask “the heard” if they think the same and that I am on the right track with this. I am going to keep working so the error may change or even disappear (oh I wish)
Clicking the link to the site will show the errors.
