  When attempting to either activate or preview the new Shoreditch theme (technically shoreditch-wpcom) on a relatively new self-hosted install I get the following error:

  Fatal error: Can’t use function return value in write context in /home/wp-content/themes/shoreditch-wpcom/inc/jetpack.php on line 129

  This happens regardless of whether Jetpack is activated or not.

  Activating the theme required digging into mySQL settings and rolling back the theme manually to recover the site.

  There’s at least one other reported error from someone last week who was using a multisite install: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shoreditch-theme-throws-jetpackphp-error-on-multisite

  Testing on a wordpress.com install didn’t throw similar error.

  Also cross-posting to WP.org forum

  Glad you got it sorted out! :)
