    It is possible that you have some character entities. They may look like spaces or tabs to you but they don't to PHP. Delete anything that looks like a space or a tab then manually type it back in.

    BTW, got the exact same error after moving that code after re-typing. I even just tried to retype it in TextEdit and then copy and paste into functions.php, but didn't work.

    Jeffrey,

    It would help if you could get the code to post. Try putting it in a pastie and posting a link to that

    do you need the code from the entire functions.php file so you can see the line in reference, or just a section? if the latter, here's the pastie. http://pastie.org/5479516

    That isn't the code that you referenced earlier. Which line in that is throwing the error?

    Oooo, right you are Nick, apologies. here's is the pastie of the full functions.php file. The error is on line 146, citing an "unexpected '='". Thanks for your help! http://pastie.org/5481130

    for some reason you have this code in-between $post->ID
    rel="nofollow"

    removing that where the code reads as follows results in the exact same error message (same line and referencing the = sign):

    <code>function read_more() {
    global $post;
    $return_string = '<a href="'.get_permalink($post->ID).'">'.get_the_title().'</a>';
    return $return_string;
    }
    add_shortcode( 'read-more', 'read_more_function');</code>

    Ok, got the shortcode working only to, wait for it, not have the shortcode generate a "read more" link when I use it in the post meta section of the widget. Any ideas or help Nick -- or anyone else?

    What does your code look like now?

    Here's my full functions.php code. The shortcode section is at the very bottom - http://pastie.org/5485701. Nick, thanks SO much for your continued help.

    I notice the shortcodes you use in the widget configuration are formatted like this: [short_code]. I believe my short code is written to be like this [short code]. Does that make a difference?

    FYI, i'm putting the shortcodes in the post meta field of the widget like this: [post_comments] [read-more] (but i've also tried [read more] and [read_more]. None work.

    Sorry, does the shortcode work when not in the plugin field?
