exactly same problem with me
as i installed WP for the very first time but when i uploaded theme files on site and try opening site this message comes up
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: get_header() in /home/pokertip/public_html/index.php on line 1
Site is http://www.PokerTipping.com
can any one please Help Both of us out
I hope there are lots of Lovely People out there who would love to help us
Both of you broke the index.php. At that level in your wp installation the index.php should only contain:
<?php
/* Short and sweet */
define('WP_USE_THEMES', true);
require('./wp-blog-header.php');
?>
No get_header(). I suggest you replace whatever’s there with the correct one from the installation zip.
I browsed around and found the way to do it 🙂
Hey “ctate1” i will tell u how its done
once u unzip a theme on ur PC , just upload the folder (along with all files in it) to ur Root>>wp-content/themes directory.
once u finish uploading it
just log in to ur sites admin panel and click Presentation and u will see the Theme Thumbed image there, click on it to install
thats it ,
i didn’t broke it infact upload the them files on root
so it replaced index.php file now all sorted out
hoping for a bright future in blogging LOL

Um – I’m having same problems but haven’t found how you guys resolved it. When you say login to your site admin (which I did) and look for presentation – I do not see presentation! Can some one please help. I just want to design my own wordpress theme and be able to view it properly!
lovelylovely treats the terminology too freely…
If you have a website hosted – the host usually offers some kind of site administration panel, like cPanel, Plesk etc.
This is NOT the same as your (WP) blog’s admin panel! And the “Presentation” menu is in the WP admin panel, not in the site admin panel.
So, login to your blog > and you will see the Presentation menu.
Now, if you seriously want to get into the theme design business… you should forget the online editor, just design your theme offline, upload it, select it in the Presentation and you are good to go.

Hi Moshu! Thanks so much! It worked!!!
Oh one more question… How can you preview your design offline? I try and I get error…
It depends what do you mean by “offline”?
Yes, I have a local installation on my computer here and I can preview all my design.
Otherwise it’s impossible.
If you want to upload a theme to your online installation AND seeing it without letting the visitors to know about its existence – use the Preview Theme plugin:
