Hi there,

Thank you so much for this fix — if I can get it working, dmbloodless would work beautifully for my blog.

Unfortunately, I bollixed up the repair somehow so if you tell me what I did wrong or otherwise, send me the proper functions.php as an email attachment, I would love that. (I also posted this query to deadmusician a few days back but haven’t received an answer).

Here’s what I did:

1. cut & paste fix shown above into a blanked out version of the original functions.php, hit save.
2. Get error message there are characters that cannot be saved in Ansi, so I choose Unicode, which crashes my website.
4. Try again, saving it in Ansi, receive error message stating: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ‘)’ in /home/myusername/public_html/myblog/wp-content/themes/dmbloodless/functions.php on line 17

So yes, I’m a lamer at a total loss, but do please forgive me a little, as I am in my forties, i.e., dodderingly ancient in blogger terms.

Many thanks for your help!
