I'm afraid I don't know what theme that is, what that error in the code 
is, or what version of PhpWiki you're running, or what your 
configuration is (e.g., what back-end you're using for pages). Thus, I'm 
afraid I don't have time to look into it now. I just answered before 
because I had a quick suggestion.
