 * I was trying new themes with my blog and this error message came after trying
   to activate a theme:
 * Fatal error: Call to undefined function wp_get_theme() in /home/metz5738/public_html/
   thatfluteplayer.com/wp-content/themes/local-business/functions/theme-options.
   php on line 8
 * Now I can’t get back to my blog or admin page and don’t know what to do. The 
   site is:
    [http://www.thatfluteplayer.com](http://www.thatfluteplayer.com)
 * Thanks for help,
    Linda

 * [FTP](http://codex.wordpress.org/FTP_Clients) into your site (or use whatever
   file management application your host provides) & delete the wp-content/themes/
   local-business folder. This will activate the default theme and allow you back
   into your site. The upgrade WordPress before trying out any more new themes.
