 * Hi.
 * I’ve recently been playing around with WordPress – Most notably, the theme.
 * Unfortunately, I now seem to be getting this error and cannot come to a conclusion
   about why this would be happening.
 * The error is:
 * Fatal error: Call to undefined function the_title_attribute() in /…/…./…./nintendoeverything.
   com/htdocs/wp-content
    /themes/default/single.php on line 13
 * The code of single.php is the following:
 *     ```
       <?php get_header(); ?>
   
       	<div id="content" class="widecolumn">
   
       	<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
   
       		<div class="navigation">
       			<div class="alignleft"><?php previous_post_link('&laquo; %link') ?></div>
       			<div class="alignright"><?php next_post_link('%link &raquo;') ?></div>
       		</div>
   
       		<div class="post" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
       			<h2><a href="<?php echo get_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link: <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
   
       			<div class="entry">
       				<?php the_content('<p class="serif">Read the rest of this entry &raquo;
       '); ?>
   
       				<?php wp_link_pages(array('before' => '<strong>Pages:</strong> ', 'after' => '
       ', 'next_or_number' => 'number')); ?>
       				<?php the_tags( 'Tags: ', ', ', '
       '); ?>
   
       				<p class="postmetadata alt">
       					<small>

       					</small>
   
       			</div>
       		</div>
   
       	<?php comments_template(); ?>
   
       	<?php endwhile; else: ?>
   
       		Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.
   
       <?php endif; ?>
   
       	</div>
   
       <?php get_footer(); ?>
       ```
