    There is a problem with the theme “platform.”

    Try
    deactivating all plugins (yes, all) to see if this resolves the problem. If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s). If you can’t get into your admin dashboard, try resetting the plugins folder by FTP or PhpMyAdmin (read “How to deactivate all plugins when you can’t log in to wp-admin” if you need help). Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause problems. Also remember to deactivate any plugins in the mu-plugins folder. The easiest way is to rename that folder to mu-plugins-old.

    Try
    switching to the Twenty Twelve or Twenty Thirteen theme to rule out any theme-specific problems. If you can’t log in to change themes, you can remove the theme folders via FTP so the only one is twentythirteen. That will force your site to use it.

    ok well i deactivated all the plug ins and tried and still got the same error and then i tried the other theme you advised and the search worked, does this mean the problem is with the theme itself? and how to fix it? ohh and in the index php file this the code within

    */
    <?php
    global $more;
    $more = 0;
    ?>

    is the coding wrong?
