Most WordPress themes include some of the built-in WordPress hooks by default. For example, most of us are aware of the two most common WordPress hooks: wp_head() and wp_footer(), which generally appear in the theme’s header and footer sections. These two hooks provide WordPress a location at which to execute various scripts and functions. For example, the wp_head() hook is where WordPress generates a variety of <link> and <script> elements, among other things.

I noticed that whether or not I called that function it was breaking other stuff in the admin section as well. I may have just done something wrong.

After doing that I get a blank white page. I'm assuming there is a PHP error somewhere.
