I’m running a few of websites with this theme. I’m able to update the theme on a couple of them and getting these errors when updating on another. I’m way out of my wheelhouse of knowledge when it comes to this. I thought Id post here to see what might happen. This is the message I get from my hosting support…

Also, to go to your account’s error logs go ahead and login to your account > Tools > CGI and Scripted Language Support > Check Error Logs. Some of the main errors we see related to your theme are the following:

This is basically telling us that your theme is using using deprecated PHP functions. In other words, it looks like the theme developers are using old code that they need to update. We tested your website on the lowest version of PHP up to the latest version available on your account, but received these errors regardless of what PHP version was set. After having seen these errors, we know we will not be able to resolve any issues that arise after updating the theme. As we are not the theme developers we have no control over this, unfortunately. For this reason we cannot update the theme for you even with the service fee. We do apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. However, you may want to consider trying another theme. We would only recommend using a theme that is well trusted, has very good reviews and is updated regularly.

I appreciate any help I can get.
Thank you
