 * Hello… I keep getting this error message every time I try to edit and/or select
   different theme.
 * Fatal error: Call to a member function theme() on a non-object in /something.
   com/blog/wp-admin/customize.php on line 60.
 * Someone suggested using fastcgi in another post, but that didn’t help me. Any
   other thoughts?

 * I’m using the latest version – 3.4.2. Twenty Eleven is the default theme I have,
   but I can’t change it.

 * Try re-uploading all files & folders – **except** the wp-content folder – from
   a **fresh** download of WordPress. Make sure that you delete the old copies of
   files & folder before uploading the new ones.
