PHP Fatal error in root of /wp-content/themes/index.php:11

[av_admin_1984]

Hello

Everye week I got this error

[03-Feb-2024 20:34:33 UTC] PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function get_header() in /home/site/public_html/wp-content/themes/index.php:11
Stack trace:
#0 {main}
  thrown in /home/site/public_html/wp-content/themes/index.php on line 11

and in my root of /public_html/wp-content/themes/ there is an index.php file and inside that file is :

<?php
/**
 * The main template file
 */

if( function_exists( 'woodmart_is_woo_ajax' ) && woodmart_is_woo_ajax() ) {
	do_action( 'woodmart_main_loop' );
	die();
}

get_header(); ?>

<?php 

	// Get content width and sidebar position
	$content_class = woodmart_get_content_class();

?>

<div class="site-content <?php echo esc_attr( $content_class ); ?>" role="main">

	<?php do_action( 'woodmart_main_loop' ); ?>

</div><!-- .site-content -->

<?php get_sidebar(); ?>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

Where is coming?
Should I remove this file?

This is line 11
get_header(); ?>

Hello,

This function is a core WordPress function and your error says that it is missing which is impossible. Most likely, somebody tried to open this file in the browser.

Kind Regards

1- Is it safe to remove that index.php?
2-

Most likely, somebody tried to open this file in the browser.

How? Could you please give me the path of this file for the browser?
3-in index.php file I see this code:

if( function_exists( 'woodmart_is_woo_ajax' ) && woodmart_is_woo_ajax() ) {
	do_action( 'woodmart_main_loop' );
	die();
}

get_header(); ?>

<?php 

	// Get content width and sidebar position
	$content_class = woodmart_get_content_class();

?>

<div class="site-content <?php echo esc_attr( $content_class ); ?>" role="main">

	<?php do_action( 'woodmart_main_loop' ); ?>

</div><!-- .site-content -->

<?php get_sidebar(); ?>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

Those codes mentioned to woodmart, it that right?

1. 3. Our theme doesn’t create that file. Most likely you copied it there accidentally.

2. We don’t know how since this error appears on your website only.

Kind Regards

Fine,

I removed that file,

Please close this topic

Thanks
