shit, the forum is effing with the code i’m posting, but the top code quote in that last one was the exact code you posted, so disregard the way it is converting the characters.

I don’t see a problem with that code, it could be the way it was added to the functions.php file.

[JeffreyParticipant]

thanks for replying Nick, sorry for my delay. how could it be a problem with how it’s added to functions.php? how should it be added?

[nickthegeekKeymaster Post count: 602]

Generally at the very end so it isn’t interfering with any other code.

[JeffreyParticipant]

thanks nick. Just tried putting it at the bottom and got this error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_FUNCTION, expecting ')' in /home/content/J/S/D/JSDavis82/html/wood/wp-content/themes/magazine/functions.php on line 144

It is possible that you have some character entities. They may look like spaces or tabs to you but they don’t to PHP. Delete anything that looks like a space or a tab then manually type it back in.

[JeffreyParticipant]

Just tried that, but to no avail. so frustrating. any other advice? thanks so much for your help!

[JeffreyParticipant]

BTW, got the exact same error after moving that code after re-typing. I even just tried to retype it in TextEdit and then copy and paste into functions.php, but didn’t work.

Jeffrey,

It would help if you could get the code to post. Try putting it in a pastie and posting a link to that

http://pastie.org

[JeffreyParticipant]

do you need the code from the entire functions.php file so you can see the line in reference, or just a section? if the latter, here’s the pastie. http://pastie.org/5479516

[nickthegeekKeymaster Post count: 602]

That isn’t the code that you referenced earlier. Which line in that is throwing the error?

[JeffreyParticipant]

Oooo, right you are Nick, apologies. here’s is the pastie of the full functions.php file. The error is on line 146, citing an “unexpected ‘=’”. Thanks for your help! http://pastie.org/5481130

for some reason you have this code in-between $post->ID
rel="nofollow"

[JeffreyParticipant]

removing that where the code reads as follows results in the exact same error message (same line and referencing the = sign):

<code>function read_more() {
global $post;
$return_string = ‘<a href=”‘.get_permalink($post->ID).’”>’.get_the_title().’</a>’;
return $return_string;
}
add_shortcode( ‘read-more’, ‘read_more_function’);</code>
