i have found the solution.

install and activate theme
go to wordpress admin panel under DESIGN.
select PREMIUM NEWS OPTIONS.
you must go down the line and just enable or fill in those options. at least some or most of them. i didnt change all the options only the ones that i thought were important, which will be the ones at the top (GENERAL SETTINGS + FRONT PAGE LAYOUT)

save.
if you look on your home page you will notice the error message is gone. you can now customieze other things as you wish.

good day and good luck to all.
this problem should be solved

when you finish just save.

layouts folder located in

wp-content/themes/Template_Name
i.e.
wp-content/themes/Template_Name/layouts

home.php file as requested

[code]
<?php get_header(); ?>

<div class="col1">

<?php include(TEMPLATEPATH . '/includes/featured.php'); ?>

<?php
$showplace = get_option('premiumnews_show_video_feat');
if ( $showplace ) { include(TEMPLATEPATH . '/includes/video.php'); }
?>

<?php

$layout = get_option('premiumnews_layout');

include('layouts/'.$layout);

?>

<?php
$showplace = get_option('premiumnews_show_video_feat');
if ( !$showplace ) { include(TEMPLATEPATH . '/includes/video.php'); }
?>

</div><!--/col1-->

<?php get_sidebar(); ?>

<?php get_footer(); ?>
[/code]

if possible, this should be moved to the plugin section.

anyone care to assist?

so is there a way to insert the field back? i have a SQL text file. not sure if that’s relevant in my situation. but obviously at this point i’m open for just about anything

nobody?
