 * Hello,
 * I’m rebuilding a website for someone and making a theme from scratch, I wanted
   to add some code in the footer.php file so I did then I FTPed the theme back 
   accross and I get the following error.
 *     ```
       Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function get_header() in /homepages/24/d634280769/htdocs/tynronglenshaw.com/dev/index.php:9 Stack trace: #0 {main} thrown in /homepages/24/d634280769/htdocs/tynronglenshaw.com/dev/index.php on line 9
       ```
   
 * I have looked inside the index.php file in my theme and nothing has been changed.
   I have also looked at header.php but again nothing changed. The last code edits
   I made to those files were a few days ago.
 * I removed the code that I put into the footer.php. I don’t know why it’s not 
   working.
 * Duncan

 * Seems to be fixed now, All I changed was replaced the index.php file within WordPress
   itself.
