I am trying to transfer my Website from Hostgator to 000 without redoing it. I made a full backup, and exported the database. On the new site, I uploaded the files, and imported the DB. I had a couple of problems importing the DB at first, so I went into phpMyAdmin and dropped all of the tables, and reimported. It finished importing that time, but now I always get a message

Code

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STATIC in /home/--/public_html/wp-content/themes/--/inc/components/pagination/--.php on line 53

I edited out a few things in the error message, but that's basically it.

I deleted all of the files and reinstalled wordpress. I also created a new DB because I was just going to redo the whole thing. The problem is, is as soon as I upload a theme, I start getting that same error message again!

I either deleted something that I shouldn't have, or messed up something with the DB. Any ideas? If it is possible to salvage the Website, I would much rather do that instead of redoing the entire thing. Thanks!

Edit: I forgot to mention that I deleted all of the files inside public_html and reinstalled WP. And the only two folders in the home directory are .ftpquota and public_html. I might have deleted something that I shouldn't have.

if you still have the database, try and only import the users, posts,comments and tables like that.
I hope it helps - starting over really does suck

Did you modified your wp-config? With the new db, db-username and db-password?

Change your php version. This is a php version compatibility issue, perhaps you are using way too old verision.

Give it a try.
