so let me know what to do and I will do it. I would prefer keeping in mind the

do.<BR><BR>Thanks :-)<BR><BR>Petar<BR><BR>

<DIV class=gmail_quote>Hi there,<BR><BR>I am trying to upload a theme
via <A href="http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/upload/"
target=_blank>http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/upload/</A><BR>I get
the following two errors:<BR>
<UL>
<LI><SPAN>REQUIRED</SPAN>: <B>add_contextual_help</B> found in the
file <B>theme-options.php</B>. Deprecated since version <B>3.3</B>.
Use <B>get_current_screen()->add_help_tab()</B> instead.
<LI><SPAN>RECOMMENDED</SPAN>: <B>get_current_theme</B> found in the
file <B>theme-options.php</B>. Deprecated since version <B>3.4</B>.
Use <B>wp_get_theme()</B> instead. </LI></UL>I do not consider those
two as errors because in the code I make an IF statement that checks
if the new function exists and if it does not it would call the old
one. This is how I make sure I use the new function if the wordpress
installation is new version and use the old function on old wp
installations. <BR>I can easily use only the new functions but then my
theme will not work fine on old versions of WP which I'd like my theme
to support. By old versions I mean 3.3 and 3.4.<BR><BR>For
example:<BR><?php $theme_name = function_exists( 'wp_get_theme' ) ?
wp_get_theme() : get_current_theme(); ?><BR><BR>I think the theme
checker finds the old function as a text in the codes and rises the
errors without following the logic in the IF
statements.<BR><BR><BR><BR>Please tell me what can I do so I can
upload my theme?<SPAN><FONT color=#888888><SPAN><FONT
