There are some syntax errors in the file inc/abedul-custom-header.php on lines 53, 64, 90 and 93. This broke the site upon activating the theme.

Changing each line to look like this eliminated the errors and allowed the theme to render properly.

if ( ! abedul_get_options('show_site_title') )

Basically I removed the [ and ] and put ‘show_site_title’ within the ().

Thank you!
