Guys,

I’ve had to reload my wordpress and start from scratch. The first thing after creating my child theme I tried your code snippet and it worked perfectly.

So I guess the parse error I’ve been getting was introduced by something else although I still haven’t figured out what since it happened when I edited functions.php.

Thank you so much for your help.

Percy

Guys,

I’ve done what you are suggesting probably 10 times hoping for a different result every time. The only change I made was exactly what Ismael said to change and nothing else and yet even the default functions.php code has not been able to solve my problem.

From your response I guess I’m going to have to do a fresh WP install with your theme because it doesn’t look like you have any other solution other than the things I’ve already tried.

It would be nice to know that this problem could be solved, but I’ve already lost 4 days since the first day I posted this, which not good. I know you are extremely busy because it takes you about 2 days to respond and I don’t have that long to wait.

Regards,
Percy
