# Error message "Fatal error"

 * Receiving the following error message:
    Fatal error: Call to undefined function
   tribe_has_past_events() in /home/marmas55/thisisitnetwork.co.uk/wp-content/themes/
   NEWadvocator/tribe-events/list/nav.php on line 30 when the events page is clicked
   on (they are previewing fine on the homepage). My knowledge of coding is limited
   and so have googled some solutions but unsure where to insert edited code in 
   the .php file.
 * Does anyone have a solution to this problem, for an non-advanced user?
 * Thanks!

 * Hi beckybirtwistle,
 * Thanks for your note. That error suggests that there is a conflict with your 
   NEW Advocator theme. I recommend that you get in touch with the theme’s developer
   and see if they can help you out here.
 * Best,
    Leah
