 * Hey everyone, I’ve been getting the following error on my logs side:
 * [17-Feb-2012 15:00:11] PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_header()
   in /home7/sonyrumo/public_html/wp-content/themes/Gadget/index.php on line 1
 * And it might pop up 20 times in a row. Now in my index reads as follows:
 *     ```
       <?php ini_set('display_errors', 0); ?>
       <?php get_header(); ?>
   
       	<div id="feature">
       	<!-- Feature area prev/next buttons -->
       	<a id="prev" href="#"></a>
       	<a id="next" href="#"></a>
       		<div id="feature-slides" class="clearfix">
       ```
   
 * I’ve also checked and my theme is installed here:
    sonyrumors.net/wp-content/
   themes/Gadget
 * Which seems like the right place. I’ve read a few times to make sure of this 
   and so that seems right. Any ideas?

 * go in thru FTP and delete your theme. It seems that the theme is giving you problems.

 * But let me ask you this Richard, it’s obviously saying there is an issue with
   line 1. When I check the theme file that I would be basically uploading again,
   the line 1 is identical so is there a point to uploading the theme again? (Reason
   I’m hesitant is that I modified some of the code months ago so different colors
   appear for menus and what not and don’t want to go through and redo that, if 
   it’s all in vain).
