I'm about to call it quits on this template and also the Winchester as I'm having the same problem with that one.

Several weeks ago I posted that when I upload the config.westminster_new.php file the website shows but I get a blank or "WARNING: An Error occurred, please refresh the page and try again." message when attempting to get into my admin page. When I remove the file the template still shows on the website and I'm able to log into my admin area.
My log files show the following:
"05-Jan-2017 10:51:18 America/New_York] PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ';', expecting ')' in /home/spmini5/public_html/teststore/my_secret_admin/includes/auto_loaders/config.westminster_new.php on line 8"

This is on a testsite - spminiatures.com/teststore
I did a clean install of 1.55d and then uploaded the template files to their CORRECT folders.

I have looked through the forum and saw someone else having the same problem but didn't see a solution. I upgraded my PHP version thinking that might help but it didn't. I downloaded another westminster new file and reinstalled it. Still the same problem.

I give up!
