Header, sidebar & footer fail to load w/ 1 skin.

  • I’m new to WordPress and am just getting up and running. Everything works fine with the default themes, but when I try to run the xt2 theme by arzen, the site won’t load properly. I get three pairs of errors relating to the header, sidebar & footer. I’ve tried re-uploading the theme and still no luck. Any ideas? Help would be greatly appreciated. You can see the errors here:

  • You’re on WP 1.5, right? If so, find the following three separate lines in index.php in the theme directory.

    <?php include ("header.php"); ?>

    <?php include ("sidebar.php"); ?>

    <?php include ("footer.php"); ?>

    Change each of those to the following, respectively.

    <?php get_header(); ?>

    <?php get_sidebar(); ?>

    <?php get_footer(); ?>

    Hi alphaoide!
    Thanks soooo much for your help on this. Yes I am on WP 1.5. I followed your instructions and they helped, but I’ve still got one pair of errors. As you can guess I have no clue what you’re having me do, but so far it’s helping a lot! Let me know if you have a suggestion for clearing up this last error. Thanks again!

    What line of code that gives that error? Like the following?

    <?php include( "buttons.php" ); ?>

    Change it to something like below.

    <?php include( TEMPLATEPATH."/buttons.php" ); ?>
