I just downloaded the theme and uploaded to my host and I’m not experiencing that error. Please consider starting over. Delete that theme from your host. Download a new copy. Unzip. Upload to host.

OK – did that again (for the 3rd time). Deleted /public_html/WordPress/wp-content/themes/colorful-10/ folder. Downloaded them. Unzipped it then ftp’ed the folder back.
Nothing changes. Still crashes on an undefined function.
I expect that there is some sort of global PHP library which defines the function: the_search_query.
It is definitely not in any of the files provided with the theme.
What file is this defined in?
Why would I not have it?
Oops, I see you say you are using 2.0.2. Maybe that theme doesn’t run on that version. Change to the WordPress default theme to see if that solves the problem.
Please consider upgrading to 2.3.
“Please consider upgrading to 2.3.”
Would love to. How ?
I am using ipowerweb as my web host and simply installed the default blog software they had available through cpanel
Is there a way I can upgrade this from 2.0.2 to 2.3 by myself? Can I do this without the intervention of the web host provider?
OK – that resolved it.
It would be nice if the templates indicated what WordPress version was required to use it.
