Fatal Error when editing index.php

    Hello,

    I made the mistake of trying to install the WP Page Numbers plug-in. The instructions said to replace

    the ‘next_posts_link()’ and ‘previous_posts_link()’

    with

    <?php posts_nav_link(‘ — ‘, ‘‹ Newer Posts’, ‘Older Posts ›’); ?>

    I did that and got the following error message on my web page: https://thedarktower.info/wp/wordpress/

    Fatal error: Call to undefined function: get_header() in D:\inetpub\vhosts\thedarktower.info\httpdocs\wp\wordpress\Index.php on line 1

    Then I undid the damage and changed it back…and I still get the error message. How do I restore this?

    Hello again,

    I just read this thread —–> Possibly deleted page.php…=)

    Apparently my problem was that there are three different index.php files in three different directories… I overwrote one of them with the wrong file.

    I followed the instructions in that thread and my page re-appeared.

    Yay!!!

    Thanks again all ??
