Please help with our Cake Art Theme and an error we now have because of the PHP and/or Theme.
Please see the following email from our hosting provider about the concern:
“We are following up on your case regarding issues with a database connection error on your website.
Upon investigation it appears that the necessary Database Name and Database User assigned to the that Name were a little mixed up. Everything was set up in cPanel, but the actual wp-config.php file was not quite correct. We left a copy of the original wp-config.php and updated the necessary values and the website popped up (granted with a few errors).
We are unsure if the issue is due to a bad WordPress update, a corrupt theme, or perhaps just the incorrect version of PHP running inside that directory (currently it appears to be PHP7.0 which may or may not be compatible with your theme/plugin setup). We are also getting the following return when checking the state of your WordPress core files:

Warning: File doesn’t verify against checksum: wp-includes/pomo/plural-forms.php
Warning: File should not exist: wp-includes/error_log
Warning: File should not exist: wp-includes/ID3/error_log
Warning: File should not exist: wp-includes/rest-api/error_log
Warning: File should not exist: wp-includes/rest-api/fields/error_log
Warning: File should not exist: wp-includes/theme-compat/error_log
Warning: File should not exist: wp-refresh.php
Warning: File should not exist: wp-cli.yml
Warning: File should not exist: wp-settings.php.suspected.1525824027
Warning: File should not exist: wp-admin/includes/error_log
Warning: File should not exist: wp-admin/error_log
Warning: File should not exist: wp-admin/user/error_log
Error: WordPress installation doesn’t verify against checksums.

Which insinuates that there could be an issue with parts of your WordPress not being properly updated.
We highly recommend reaching out to the developers of your theme for more information as to the correct PHP version that your theme was designed to operate with, and potentially replacing core files for your WordPress installation. If you are uncomfortable making the necessary changes, you may need to reach out to a developer or similar professional to assist you.
If you have any other questions or concerns please feel free to reply to this email. Our support lines are also available to chat or call anytime.
