 * I started a theme on a subdomain, and all worked fine but then installed WordPress
   on my main domain and get an error internal server error when I try and add the
   function.php. This is the entire file of functions.php, that worked on subdomain:
 *     ```
       <?php
           function LAID_init() {
           	// create a new taxonomy
           	register_taxonomy(
           		'LAID',
           		'post',
           		array(
           			'label' => __( 'LA ID Number' ),
           			'rewrite' => array( 'slug' => 'LAID' ),
   
           		)
           	);
   
           }
           add_action( 'init', 'LA_init' );
   
   
   
           function commandline_init() {
           	// create a new taxonomy
           	register_taxonomy(
           		'commandline',
           		'post',
           		array(
           			'label' => __( 'Command Line' ),
           			'rewrite' => array( 'slug' => 'commandline' ),
   
           		)
           	);
           }
           add_action( 'init', 'commandline_init' );
   
   
   
           function relateditems_init() {
           	// create a new taxonomy
           	register_taxonomy(
           		'relateditems',
           		'post',
           		array(
           			'label' => __( 'Related Items' ),
           			'rewrite' => array( 'slug' => 'relateditems' ),
           			'hierarchical'      => true,
   
           		)
           	);
           }
           add_action( 'init', 'relateditems_init' );
       ?> 
       ```
   
 *  Ive tried adding the functions.php from the default WordPress theme to my custom
   theme and that also causes an internal server error.
 * Turn on debugging and got following errors:
 *     ```
           Warning: require(D:\Plesk\VHOSTS\...\httpdocs\wordpress/wp-content/themes/.../inc/template-tags.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in D:\Plesk\VHOSTS\...\httpdocs\...\wp-content\themes\...\functions.php on line 353
   
           Warning: require(D:\Plesk\VHOSTS\...\httpdocs\wordpress/wp-content/themes/.../inc/template-tags.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in D:\Plesk\VHOSTS\...\httpdocs\wordpress\wp-content\themes\...\functions.php on line 353
   
           Fatal error: require(): Failed opening required 'D:\Plesk\VHOSTS\...\httpdocs\wordpress/wp-content/themes/.../inc/template-tags.php' (include_path='.;.\includes;.\pear') in D:\Plesk\VHOSTS\...\httpdocs\wordpress\wp-content\themes\...\functions.php on line 353
       ```
   
 * There is no line 353 in my functions.php and no require() function and no “/inc/
   template-tags.php” in my custom theme.
 * Wordpress says it is up to date version 4.8.

 * Please somebody help. I am supposed to be working on this but for the second 
   day I am sat doing nothing. Here is another error to add to the mystery:
 * Fatal error: Cannot redeclare commandline_init() (previously declared in D:\Plesk\
   VHOSTS\sparklebox.co.uk\httpdocs\wordpress\wp-content\themes\sparklebox\functions.
   php:6) in D:\Plesk\VHOSTS\sparklebox.co.uk\httpdocs\wordpress\wp-content\themes\
   sparklebox\functions.php on line 14
 * This appears when functions.php contains the following code:
 *     ```
       function commandline_init() {
       // create a new taxonomy
       register_taxonomy(
       ‘commandline’,
       ‘post’,
       array(
       ‘label’ => __( ‘Command Line’ ),
       ‘rewrite’ => array( ‘slug’ => ‘commandline’ ),
   
       )
       );
       }
       ```
   
 * I have to say, I am very disappointed with the support from WordPress on this.
   This the official forum. Where else can I ask?
