    I’m trying to install some themes for my website, that I host on my localhost using XAMPP. I wanted to use glossy stylo, but everytime I try to load a file, I get the error: Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_header() in C:\Users\*****\Desktop\xampp\htdocs\wordpress\wp-content\themes\glossy-stylo\index.php on line 2. This is automatticly for my index.php file. I tried to use other themes aswell, but that gave me the same error. I have tried to paste the code from the header.php file into the index.php file, but then another error appeared: Fatal error: Call to undefined function language_attributes() in C:\Users\*****\Desktop\xampp\htdocs\wordpress\wp-content\themes\glossy-stylo\index.php on line 2. Because of this I think that all my functions are not working. I tried looking for other posts but I was not able to find any information that helped me. Help would be really much appreciated. (Btw, the ***** are just the name of the user.)

    Hello Iltherion,

    Please confirm if you have tried installing the theme from Dashboard or not.

    It appears the issue with the theme. Remove all the files of the theme glossy-stylo from “themes” folder, and upload the fresh theme folder.

    Hey Dan,
    I haven’t done it through the dashboard, I downloaded the zip file, and extracted the folder to my desktop. After that i moved it into the Desktop/xampp/htdocs/wordpress/wp-content/themes file, and tried to open it, that’s where it went wrong. I do not think it is only the glossy-stylo theme, because the pre-made wordpress themes twentyfoureen twentythirteen and twentytwelve are aslo not working.
    Thank you for your reply ??
