Parse error - Wordpress

Question

I bought Aurora wordpress theme from Themeforest. When I'm trying to install it, I have parse error: unexpected ':' in functions.php file on line 361.

Functions.php line 361

$customizer_template_setting = get_theme_mod('aurora_post_layout') ?: 'default';

How can I fix it?

It's the shortened ternary syntax, that is only available in PHP 5.3 and newer. You should check your PHP version (and in case update it, recommended!).

That syntax is equivalent to: $customizer_template_setting = get_theme_mod('aurora_post_layout') ? get_theme_mod('aurora_post_layout') : 'default';

The extreme solution if you cannot update your PHP version would be to replace that line.
