 * Hello,
 * I downloaded a theme and uploaded the folder into my wp-content/themes folder.
   I double-checked that the folder did not nest and everything looks to be in order.
   However, when I choose the new theme and preview it, I get this error notice:
 * Fatal error: Call to undefined function: language_attributes() in /blog/wp-content/
   themes/bluebird/header.php on line 2
 * I haven’t modified any of the scripts, just uploaded as is. What am I doing wrong?
