   Hello... please, can somebody shead some light?

   My site is down. http://www.GoBigTicket.com

   I'm getting a Fatel Error Message:
   Fatal error: Call to undefined function exp_template_class()in /wp-content/themes/travel-blogger/header.php on line 59

   Line 59 of the header.php:
   <div id="doc4" class="<?php exp_template_class($grid); ?>">

   I have searched and searched the Forums in hopes to figure out what this function on line 59 means but can't find anything that sheads enough light in knowing for exact certain what it means.

   I can log into my dashboard but the widget area will not load and when I click to see the widgets I get a message that say's my theme is not widget ready. But I'm using a Widget Ready theme.

   Please, can anybody tell me what line 59 of the header.php file means And/Or direct me to a Article in the Forums that can help me resolve this issue.

   Needing Direction-

   Try activating the Twenty Eleven theme.

   That means the php can't find the function named exp_template_class()

   if you haven't made any customisations to your theme, use ftp or cpanel to delete it from the server, then install a new copy of the theme from http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/travel-blogger

   or download the theme and using ftp or cpanel, just upload a new copy of /travel-blogger/lib/functions/layout.php

   Oh Wow! Re-Install my theme? I do have customizations. I'm using The Dynamic Photo Generator & Word Press Robot.

   Thank You All so much for responding so quickly!! I'm thinking re-coping the "layout.php" seems the easiest.

   After reading all the forums, many of them sort of pointed to the layout.php file being messed up.

   I thought I compared what I have to the fresh Travel Blogger Theme that I downloaded to my desktop for the layout.php and both files were the same.

   I am going to compare them again befor I do anything.

   And can I ask?... If I re-copy the layout.php file... will everything come back as it was at my site before I made my goof?

   I may wait before to see if any of you will respond before I do anything. Thanks so much for your help :)

   Ok ... i compared the layout.php to a fresh copy and they are not different. Additionaly, the file hasn't been changed recently.

   I'd rather not try the other options for fear of loosing updates, article, graphics, photos, audio files, video files,.. ect. BUT...

   I've found an easier way out (of my "lets see what this will do" bonehead mistake) since I'm inexperienced. (*grins & laughs** ... gotta love learning something new :)

   1) Make a back up of my database at least every 2 weeks since I'm always making updates. (or sooner depending on the amount of updates made or continous ongoing updates... auto pilot features)

   2) And Revert back to the previous day backup. My hosting company is helping with this (but thanks "so much" for your help :)

   For anyone else who reads this: Don't (make a bonehead mistake like me and) change your 'Site URL' or 'Home Url' inside the General Settings of your Dashboard to anything other than what your URL is (in fact... just leave 'em alone) ...unless you want to use up all your time trying to figure out how to fix it... and also not be able to get visitors to your site.

   Thank You Kindly to those who replied with info and instructions. All this stuff is new and it really sucks to make dumb mistakes but reading these forums has given me some knowledge... so don't think your help isn't appriciated :)

   You can change the URL back without having to restore a DB: http://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_The_Site_URL

   However I make backups every day :)
