 * I installed WordPress 2.0.3 through the cPanel on my host, which is WebHost4Life.
   com. I purchased the followign theme:
 * [http://www.templatemonster.com/wordpress-themes/15379.html](http://www.templatemonster.com/wordpress-themes/15379.html)
 * The author’s instructions seem to include installing WP, which I do not need 
   to do, but maybe I need to upgrade…not sure. The instructions below seem to work,
   but I can’t find the file to upload in the .zip file purchased.
 * [http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Themes#Using_Themes](http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Themes#Using_Themes)
 * There is a wp-content/themes folder, but it just contains the default and classic
   skins, not the one I purchased. Any ideas?

 * Sorry…..can’t help it sometimes.
 * OK, MonsterTemplates.com sent me the correct .ZIP file. I followed the simple
   instructions to add a theme to WP. I saw my theme in there and activted it. See
   the following error when I go to the site though.
 * Fatal error: Call to undefined function language_attributes() in D:\hosting\member\
   gkelly\site1\wp-content\themes\StLRELaw\header.php on line 2
 * Does this mean that I need to upgrade?

 * Hmmm….the documentation that came with the theme says it should work with 2.0.1
   or higher. I have 2.0.3.

 * You can name a theme whatever you want 🙂
    “myTheme 45678 907866452” – it doesn’t
   mean anything!
 * However, yes, it seems you need to upgrade because that missing function does
   not exists in your version.
    Another option is to go into the header.php file
   and uncomment that line(s), like putting // at the beginning of those line, but
   ONLY those lines.
 * Better yet, take a closer look at those lines and delete + replace them with 
   the similar ones from default or classic.

   help and patience.

 * Good. Can you mark this as resolved then?
    I am glad you succeeded.
