# WordPress database error message

 * The error appears under the top, horizontal navigational menu beneath my header
   and says:
 * WordPress database error: [Unknown column ‘time_modified’ in ‘order clause’]
   
   SELECT * FROM wp_posts WHERE post_status = ‘static’ ORDER BY time_modified ASC
 * I have gone into header.php and took out the error message but it threw off the
   position of my menu images.
    How do I fix this?
