 * I get a Fatal error:
    “Call to undefined function wp() in /home/idahoairships/
   idahoairships.com/wp-blog-header.php on line 14 “
 * When trying to pull up my website. Tried reinstalling WP but still get the same
   error.
 * Any idea why this might have popped up?
 * Thanks much-
    L

 * You have a sub-folder of idahoairships.com called idahoairships.com? That seems
   like it could confuse things.

 * Heya, Captain! Yes, this is the way that DreamHost set me up, and not knowing
   any better I’ve just used it the way they made it…several years ago. Anyhoo…it
   did work swimmingly until this morning.

 * When I try to log in to my admin page I get the following error:
 * Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_option() in /home/idahoairships/idahoairships.
   com/wp-admin/admin.php on line 22
 * So…is there a process where I can backup my data base (and images) and simply
   reinstall the 2.9.2 and the theme…or what would y’all recommend, please?

 * Personally, I’d get rid of that sub-folder and move the WP install to the root
   directory unless you have a reason for not doing that.

 * I don’t know if they will help because it’s not a hosting issue per se, but there
   is documentation on how to do it.

 * I have the same problem now: did you ever find a solution for it? It happened
   when I tried to change the language of my dashboard to Dutch.
