 * I downloaded a template and see the image with the two default pages. When I 
   select the new template and attempt to view, I get the following message:
 * <input name=”s” type=”text” class=”src_field” value=”
    Fatal error: Call to undefined
   function: the_search_query() in /home/greenhom/public_html/greenhomeguru/wp-content/
   themes/greenhomeguru/header.php on line 37
 * Line 37 is:
    <p><input name=”s” type=”text” class=”src_field” value=”<?php the_search_query();?
   >” /></p>
 * Can anyone help?

 * I would not use that code in _any circumstances_. Ditch the theme?

 * Looks to me that theme designer is trying to do something I wouldn’t want done
   on my site. I second Root’s recommendation. Ditch it!!

 * Hmmm. How comes that the theme has the same name as your domain/subdir: _greenhomeguru_?
