 * Hi
 * I just activated the Stars and Stripes theme and already I’m getting a ton of
   error messages. I’ve uploaded all the files correctly. I don’t even know what“
   function.main” is. I’ve set up wp before but never seen that before. What does
   this mean?
 *     ```

 * You have some problems related to that theme and the footer.php file. Look like
   the ‘sponsored links’ or what ever is causing the problem. If your theme copyright
   allows it, you might delete those links in footer.php.
