Create New Page Template

[BennettGlobal]

Hey Bill,

Sorry about the tutorial mix up.  I'm so tired, I can't keep my eyes open.  I will test the code in the morning...I've been at this for 18 hours.  My eyes are shot.

Now I'm really stumped.

Re-did my Custom Home Page Template (the one I call Entertainment) using Brad's code as a test.  My previous line 12 error is now on line 9 but the same message.  It's the exact same line of code in both error messages.

remove_action( ‘genesis_loop’, ‘genesis_do_loop’ );\

I'm stumped.  Any ideas what I should do?  I will check tomorrow.  I've been at this for 18 hours trying to solve this and my eyes are shot.

Thanks,

Michael

(double submit removed.) I hit Submit and get a 404, then hit it again and don't realize the system's accepted my Submit!

So this is the line that's stumping you, right?

remove_action( ‘genesis_loop’, ‘genesis_do_loop’ );\

Try getting rid of the backslash at the end of the line, after the semicolon.

That just might be your whole problem . . .

Gnight ...

MB, Bill, Brad,

Well, I have finally solved my problem.  That / mark after this--- remove_action( ‘genesis_loop’, ‘genesis_do_loop’ );\ was the problem.  As I examined the code further, it appears that when I copied the code into my php folder it placed a / mark after several lines of code and gave me a continuous set of error codes, so I removed all of them and it works fine now.  I feel incredibly stupid putting you all through this, but I'm now off to the races.

Thank You All...

Until I need you again (which I'm sure I will)

Never fear, Michael.

I think my original problem was a version of the same thing - one line had Pa after the semicolon that got there (I think) when I thought I was typing into a signup form or something on my other monitor.

I also had a situation yesterday where some content wouldn't go into a middle widget on a home page. Of course not - I had uploaded an old copy of the home.php file that didn't HAVE a middle widget, because I had written the middle widget into the server version instead of the local version without realizing it, then uploaded the local copy to overwrite it . . . D'oh!

Fortunately, a lot of what I call writing, in this case, was mostly copy-paste-change. So it wasn't a big deal to redo it on the local version and then upload.

Have a great weekend!
