 * Hello, I am using wordpress with Xamp and this error has happened.
 * Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_header() in C:\xampp\htdocs\wordpress\
   index.php on line 10
 * I tried to alter the sidebar and saved it in filezilla then this error comes 
   up so I ended up undoing what I did in note pad. It still not working. Any ideas.
   I’m very new to this. Thanks
    <?php
 * /**
    * Index main page * * [@package](https://wordpress.org/support/users/package/)
   SimpleMarket * @subpackage Template * [@since](https://wordpress.org/support/users/since/)
   SimpleMarket 1.0 */ ?> <?php get_header(); ?>
 * <section id=”content” role=”main”>
    <?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();
   get_template_part( ‘content’, get_post_format() ); endwhile; simplemarket_pagination();?
   > </section>
 * <?php get_sidebar(); ?>
 * <?php get_footer() ?>

 * Can you show us the code that you had edited and then tell us exactly what you
   did?

 * Hey thank you for your help, it didn’t work 🙁 I just don’t understand why it
   isn’t working. All my folders are the same as they were before and the code is
   the same as it was before. I haven’t installed any plugins since so not sure.
