Fatal error trying to add a widget

[hmistler]

Hi there - I successfully added a widget to my blog page following the instructions on Studiopress & WP Sites. I then tried to add a widget to another page on my site (my about page) and each time I do, following the same steps as before, I get a fatal error:

"Fatal error: Cannot redeclare add_genesis_widget_area() (previously declared in /home/haleymistler1212/public_html/wp-content/themes/swank/functions.php:111) in /home/haleymistler1212/public_html/wp-content/themes/swank/functions.php on line 166"

Here is the code I used:

//* Add studio widget
add_action( 'genesis_after_header', 'add_genesis_widget_area' );
function add_genesis_widget_area() {
		if (is_page('about'))
                genesis_widget_area( 'studio-widget', array(
		'before' => '<div class="studio-widget widget-area">',
		'after'  => '</div>',
    ) );

}

And:

genesis_register_sidebar( array(
	'id'          => 'studio-widget',
	'name'        => __( 'Studio Widget', 'swank' ),
	'description' => __( 'This is the studio widget', 'swank' ),
) );

Both of these are in functions.php. As I said, I used this same code to add a 'blog widget' to my blog page and it worked perfectly. Any ideas as to why I can't get this widget to work? FYI, when I leave the Genesis_register_sidebar in the fuctions.php, everything is fine - it's only when I add the add_action code that things go HAYWIRE.

Thanks in advance!!!

If you used the exact code before, you're declaring the add_genesis_widget_area() function multiple times. You'll need to roll both instances into one or rename the function for one of them.

Oh, I see! I am new to php and trying to get the hang of it; I was able to fix it. Thank so much!
