Adding Featured Posts widget areas to a static page

But what does it say is wrong? Usually you'll get something like UNEXPECTED T_STRING or something to indicate the type of PHP error.

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘;’, expecting ‘)’ in C:\Users\GRAPHICS\Documents\Websites\KPC\www.mywebsite.dev\wp-content\themes\agency-pro\functions.php on line 126

[nutsandbolts]

Okay. And what is the entire function?

//* Add the page widget in the content
add_action( 'genesis_entry_footer', 'agency_add_page_content' );
function agency_add_page_content() {
	if ( is_page(94) )
	genesis_widget_area( 'partial-client-list', array(
		'before' => '<div id="partial-client-list">',
	) );
}

Edited: Nope, that's not it. Hang on....

Tried that it's giving the same parse error of: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ';', expecting ')' with all the same thereafter...

Okay. This is exactly what I just pasted into functions.php on a test site using Agency Pro. No errors, and the widget area is functional.

//* Add the page widget in the content
add_action( 'genesis_entry_footer', 'agency_add_page_content' );
function agency_add_page_content() {
	if ( is_page('94') )
	genesis_widget_area( 'partial-client-list', array(
		'before' => '<div id="partial-client-list">',
	) );
}

//* Register the page bottom widget area
genesis_register_sidebar( array(
	'id'		=> 'partial-client-list',
	'name'		=> __( 'Partial Client List', 'agency' ),
	'description'	=> __( 'This is the widget area at the bottom of a certain page.', 'agency' ),
) );

Ok, sweet, that worked, am able to pull in content from featured post widget to that page. I can't tell what was different, did you find it?

Thank you very much!

[nutsandbolts]

Not a clue. I just pasted what you had and altered the names in the function to match what you were using. I blame gremlins!

I didn't have ('94') I had (94) (no quotes). Removed those to repeat error and that didn't repeat the error, oh well, I'll take the fix, a fix that works is a good fix!

[Ben Siegfried]

Changed the hook to genesis_entry_content now that works the same. Thanks again so much for helping me with this!

[nutsandbolts]

No problem! If you don't mind, please mark this topic as resolved so we'll know you've been helped. You can always start a new topic if you have other questions. 🙂
