fatal error on copying updated wordpress files over old version of salient

    I've downloaded the newest 4.8.1 and copied all the wordpress files over - which in turn copies over the index.php file... once everything is copied over, I'm getting this error:

    Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_header() in /homepages/2/d112946830/htdocs/gototell/index.php on line 1

    The old index.php file seemed like a simpler file (not as much info). 

    Help!

    Thanks :)

    Hi, Tahir! I meant that I installed the newest version of Salient... once I did that, I received the error. Please advise.

    Hey!

    Please update to Salient Theme Version 4.8.1 .

    Please take a backup of your theme folder before you update so that if there are any changes made to the theme files they are not lost.
    You can update your theme by downloading a fresh copy from ThemeForest, deleting the current version you have on your server and uploading the new.
    It's recommended that you use FTP, but this also can be done with the WP dashboard if you prefer. The reason FTP is superior for this is because the theme won't have to be deactivated during the process so you won't have to reassign your widgets. If you're
    interested in keeping up to date with the latest changes and fixes, please refer to the changelog: http://themenectar.com/changelogs/salient.html
    Also, remember to clear your browser cache after each update if you notice anything off. Old theme files can persist in your local cache and make you think something's wrong.
    Also please see this FAQ: http://themenectar.ticksy.com/faq/2252 .

    Thanks
