 * When I uploaded my theme to my FTP site it worked fine.
 * When I tried to put it in wordpress through my dashboard it gave me the following
   message:
 * Fatal error: Call to undefined function register_nav_menu() in /home/tiabay1/
   public_html/wp-content/themes/magzimus-blog-magazine-theme/magzimus/functions.
   php on line 57
 * Now every time I go to the admin area of my wordpress it says this message.
 * I dont know what to do.
 * Please HELP!!!!

 * What do you mean when you say it worked fine? Do you just mean that the FTP transfer
   was OK?
 * If it worked fine, why were you trying to install it through the Dashboard?
 * What happens if you go directly to your Dashboard by typing your site’s URL followed
   by /wp-admin, i.e. something like:
 * [http://yourserver.yourdomain.whatever/wp-admin](http://yourserver.yourdomain.whatever/wp-admin)

 * Yes, I mean the FTp transfer was OK.
 * Im not sure what you mean in your second question. Could you explain more?
 * I was going straight to mywebsite.com/wp-admin… that gave me the fatal error 
   message:
    Fatal error: Call to undefined function register_nav_menu() in /home/
   tiabay1/public_html/wp-content/themes/magzimus-blog-magazine-theme/magzimus/functions.
   php on line 57
 * SO what your saying I should use is: [http://wordpress.mywebsite.com/wp-admin](http://wordpress.mywebsite.com/wp-admin)?
 * Because when I do that a page appears that says Safari cannot find the server…
 * Thanks for helping me so far!!!

 * I was expecting you to substitute the appropriate values for your site in there.
   Since you haven’t provided a link, I don’t know what the proper URL is for your
   site.
