Downloading theme shuts site down

Permalink
I am getting this error
Cannot use Concrete\Core\Foundation\Object as Object because 'Object' is a special class name

I cannot get into Admin, and the website is down. I am new to C5, the first time I scrapped it but then it happened on the second one.

I understand that this is a error in PHP versions that can come from downloading older themes.. but I am not seeing on the forums areference to the whole site being shut down just from downloading the theme (using the c5 theme search tool, not a separate download)

Anyway to get my work back? Thanks

This is an error message that pops up with PHP7.2

Your options are to either change your hosting's PHP version down to 7.1, or you can look in the downloaded package for where Object is used, and apply the required change as per this comment here:https://www.concrete5.org/developers/bugs/8-3-2/version-8.3.2-doesnt...

If it's a marketplace theme, the author would need to be informed of this issue, as well as the PRB, as they may see the need to suspend the theme until the issue is resolved.
