 * Hi,
 * I have multiple sites; all of them work, except for this one:
    davidfranklin.
   net/dareoftheday
 * When I go to that site, I get this message:
    Warning: require(./wp-blog-header.
   php) [function.require]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /
   home/content/u/p/o/uposatha/html/dareoftheday/index.php on line 17
 * Fatal error: require() [function.require]: Failed opening required ‘./wp-blog-
   header.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/local/php5/lib/php’) in /home/content/u/p/o/
   uposatha/html/dareoftheday/index.php on line 17
 * The strange thing is that I only get this message when going to the root address;
   if I go to an individual post under that directory, e.g. [http://davidfranklin.net/dareoftheday/make-the-choice/](http://davidfranklin.net/dareoftheday/make-the-choice/),
   I don’t get an error message.
 * Thanks in advance!

 * Does this happen on other themes?

 * No – just this one.

 * Right-o, theme issue 🙂 Does it use a front-page.php or home.php file?

 * Neither – just an index.php

 * Fixed it!
 * I copied one of the themes that worked, then went to the Network Admin/Sites 
   section, opened the site that wasn’t working, and clicked “Save Changes” (even
   though I didn’t make any changes on that page).
