   be affected.
 * PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_header() in /…/public_html/wp-
   includes/theme-compat/embed.php on line 13
 * Thank you!

 * What did you do before this error occurred? Update the WP?
 * If you are getting this error after doing an update, then you’re dealing with
   an incomplete update.
