# A theme problem

 * After I activated this theme, a phrase on the top of my Dashboard appears. It’s
 * > Notice: has_cap was called with an argument that is deprecated since version
   > 2.0! Usage of user levels by plugins and themes is deprecated. Use roles and
   > capabilities instead. in /home/a2959947/public_html/w3/wp-includes/functions.
   > php on line 3321
 * .
 * The line 3321 of function.php is
 * > trigger_error( sprintf( __(‘%1$s was called with an argument that is **deprecated**
   > since version %2$s! %3$s’), $function, $version, $message ) );
 * .
 * I would appreciate any help. Thanks!

 * You need to find where `has_cap` is being invoked in your Theme template files.
 * I would look in _functions.php_, and would look for a function call that requires
   a _capability_ as an argument, such as `add_theme_page()`.
 * What Theme are you using, by the way?

 * My theme is ClassiPress 3.0.5.1. Thank for your reply but I still don’t get it
   because I have never learnt coding…
