Hi Gareth,

Make sure you have the latest version of Rev Slider. PHP 7.1 officially removed support for the [] operator on strings.

If you already have it or don’t want to renew Rev Slider, you can switch to the Custom environment by doing the following:

  1. Right-click on the site in Local’s sidebar
  2. Click “Export”
  3. Re-import the site by dragging and dropping the exported zip onto Local’s Dock icon or main window
  4. Select “Custom” with PHP 7.0.3 when importing
