Education Pro – Parse error

[bviva]

I seemed to have messed up one of the php files in my theme.

I get the following error: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_RETURN, expecting '{' in /home4/aktender/public_html/AITA/wp-content/themes/education-pro/functions.php on line 98

Below is a copy of my functions.php file. I don't know what is wrong (I am not a php person)

Can someone look over this coding and advise as to how to fix it?? Much appreciated.

//* Uncomment this block to add the date to the navigation menu

$menu .= '<li class="right date">' . date_i18n( get_option( 'date_format' ) ) . '';

Thank you very much for your response. I replaced the code as you suggested. Had to access the file via c-panel as I cannot get into the site via WP interface. I am still getting the error. I was trying to remove the author name from appearing on on posts when everything went sideways. Can you look at this code and see if I made a mistake there?

//* //* Customize the entry meta in the entry footer
add_filter( 'genesis_post_meta', 'education_post_meta_filter' );
function education_post_meta_filter($post_meta) /*{
$post_meta = 'Article by [post_author_posts_link] [post_categories before=" / "] [post_tags before=" / "] [post_comments] [post_edit]';*/
return $post_meta;
}

//* Relocate after post widget
remove_action( 'genesis_after_entry', 'genesis_after_entry_widget_area' );
add_action( 'genesis_after_entry', 'genesis_after_entry_widget_area', 5 );

//* Modify the size of the Gravatar in the author box
add_filter( 'genesis_author_box_gravatar_size', 'parallax_author_box_gravatar' );
function parallax_author_box_gravatar( $size ) {

return 96;

}

YEA!! I found my error and corrected it and am now up and running again. I tried to comment out the author name and that was not the correct wsay to remove author name from postings ( I see that now :))

If anyone has a good way to remove author name from postings - please pass it on.

Many thanks!!!

Replace

//* Customize the entry meta in the entry footer
add_filter( 'genesis_post_meta', 'education_post_meta_filter' );
function education_post_meta_filter($post_meta) {
$post_meta = 'Article by [post_author_posts_link][post_categories before=" / "] [post_tags before=" / "] [post_comments] [post_edit]'; return $post_meta;
}

WITH

//* Customize the entry meta in the entry footer
add_filter( 'genesis_post_meta', 'education_post_meta_filter' );
function education_post_meta_filter($post_meta) {
 $post_meta = '[post_categories before=" / "] [post_tags before=" / "] [post_comments] [post_edit]';
 return $post_meta;
}

First you'll keep a backup of your current file and update it.

Thanks very much - all works well. Just need to figure out how to remove the "By" word after my posts. But am getting somewhere, thanks to you and this forum.
