 * Hi,
 * It seems to be a theme file and function. We cannot rectify or modify it on our
   own as we do not where it is used and what will be its effect after changing 
   it.
 * As the theme is Photolab I recommend you to open a support ticket on the theme
   forum so that the theme developer will be able to assist you properly than anybody
   here can.
