   I got a free host and am trying to install WordPress in it but when I got to the installation step I got the following error:

   Fatal error: Class 'WP_Widget' not found in /home/a8329191/public_html/wp-includes/default-widgets.php on line 14

   I went to that exact file and line, checked if the class was defined, and even though I don't know much about php there didn't appear to be a problem.

   Would really appreciate some help.

   Thanks!

   Check if your theme is compatible with WP 3.3. To check, you may try switching to the default theme (twentyeleven) for a moment by renaming your current theme's folder in wp-content/themes. The idea is to force WordPress to fall back to the default theme to rule out any theme-specific issue.

   -Ipstenu has put togather an extensive 3.3 troubleshooting guide. Please review it as well.

   Checked the folder and there appeared to be two themes, "twentyeleven" and "twentyten"... Took "twentyten" out, re-uploaded that directory, and still same error. Doesn't appear to be the problem.

   Will take a look at the troubleshooting guide...
