   error: Call to undefined function check_header() in /home2/isidimac/public_html/
   wp-content/themes/DarkSky/header.php on line 47 .
 * Could someone please tell me what tod o. I have looked @ the source html code
   in the header section on line 47 but cannot identify the problem.

 * Hi, yes I know, I already did that… as I stated before….
 * Umm, my problem is that I do not know what to change on that line or in the header
   section in general 😉 Help is needed in determining this.
 * The lines of code in and around that section are as follows:
 *     ```
       </script>
   
       <?php wp_head();check_header(); ?>
       </head>
   
       <body <?php body_class(); ?>>
       <div id="page">
       ```
   
 * Thanks.

 * You could just try removing `check_header();` but I’ve no idea what is is supposed
   to be there for.
