 * Hi all. I’ve got a problem after installing a new theme. An error message has
   popped up in the Dashboard as follow:
 * <<Notice: Undefined index: basedir in /……./public_html/wp-content/themes/classipress3.0.5.2/
   includes/theme-functions.php on line 25>>
 * <<Notice: has_cap was called with an argument that is deprecated since version
   2.0! Usage of user levels by plugins and themes is deprecated. Use roles and 
   capabilities instead. in /home/a2959947/public_html/w3/wp-includes/functions.
   php on line 3321>>
 * Another php problem is in the view of the website not Dashboard as follow:
 * <<Notice: Undefined index: basedir in /home/a2959947/public_html/w3/wp-content/
   themes/classipress3.0.5.2/includes/theme-functions.php on line 25>>
 * I hope there are ways to fix the bug because the theme is so important that I
   can’t change it. I am waiting to see replies soon. Thanks!

 * You could try to go into that file into line 25 and disable the line for now 
   to be able to work on it until you have found out whats the problem with the 
   theme.
 * Alöso: I have a php file problem too with one theme which got solved after upgrading
   wordpress. Maybe you are not on 3.x but the theme demands it?

   by-step guides so I can follow.

 * Did you figure out how to solve your problem with the Notice messages? I have
   installed WordPress 3.1 on my server. The theme that comes with it works fine
   but so far, two 3rd-Party themes I have tried result in the same kind of PHP 
   Notice messages when I try to use them.
