get_approved_comments error

Hello all – I’m back from a small hiatus, and I have a question on behalf of a couple of members that are using my Orange Crush theme.

I’ve only gotten this problem from two people using the theme – according to the wordpress themes site, there’s been over 1200 people downloading the theme, and only two have reported this problem, so I’m guessing the problem does not lie with the theme. I know that I have tried to replcate this issue myself, and can’t, no matter what I do. I also can’t seem to get the two people who are asking me about this to send me more information on it either…so I’m stuck.

Anyway, the problem is this: when you click on their comments link (to open the popup comments), the window opens with an error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: get_approved_comments() in URL/wp-content/themes/orange-crush-5242006/comments-popup.php on line 44

Now, I have looked in my files, and “line 44” is this:

$comments = get_approved_comments($id);

Now, I copied this part of the comments-popup.php file directly from the default theme (Kubrick). Now, the only thing I can think of that *may* be causing this error is the fact that my lines are broken up, and not all in one line. However, as I said, I copied it *directly* from the Kubrick theme (I copied from the theme editor, so the lines were broken up for me – but when I open the Kubrick file in Notepad, it’s all one line), and when I use the Orange Crush theme, I do not get this error at all – I can’t replciate this error no matter what I do.

So I’m wondering what could be causing this error? I find it very hard to believe it’s anything in my theme, but if it is, I’d be more than happy to stand corrected and fix it (it’s just hard for me to believe, since I got this stuff right from the default theme!), but I don’t know how to if it is my fault.

Anyway, if someone could help me out on this, I’d appreciate it. (I’d provide a link, but it’s not my site, and I’m not sure how the site owner would feel about that!)
