 * I just had to re-install after a total delete.
    I backed everything up, re-installed
   and now get this message on the index page(all pages)…
 * Fatal error: Call to undefined function: get_template_directory() in /***/**/
   header.php on line 2
 * Any ideas?

 * What do you mean by total delete?
 * If you backed up everything does that mean you backed up your Mysql database?
   Did you restore that data?
