 * hi,
 * just changed from default theme to pop-blue.. but get this error now upon viewing
   page..
 * Fatal error: Call to undefined function: the_search_query() in /home/francesb/
   public_html/home/wp-content/themes/pop-blue/searchform.php on line 2
 * url: [http://francesblog.com/home/](http://francesblog.com/home/)
 * how I changed: since am hosting on my own server, downloaded the theme, unzipped,
   then ftp’d entire theme folder to where other themes are, then chose new theme
   the normal way where you select theme…
 * thank you….

 * _what is going on here??????????_
 * Honestly? What’s going on here is that you are messing around with things that
   you don’t understand. You should read first the documentation/manual and get 
   a better understanding of how things work.
 * Messing with twenty different things in the same time and posting about all of
   them with zillion question marks (‘what’s going on’) – doesn’t help.
    Patience,
   learning, try and error…

 * point taken, I’m new at blog-editing.. but you neglected to mention what I’m 
   doing wrong.. I did follow all instructions when switching to new theme…
 * thank you…
