Function Error in Prose

[angieatc]

I am working on a site (beginning stages) and I am adding some code to the custom functions section under Genesis. I am actually taking this code from Backcountry so my description will appear on the menu bar:

/** Add description to secondary navigation */
add_filter( 'walker_nav_menu_start_el', 'add_description', 10, 4 ); 
function add_description( $item_output, $item, $depth, $args ) {

	$args = (array) $args;
       
	if ( $args['theme_location'] != 'primary' )  {
		return preg_replace( '/(<a.*?>[^<]*?)</', '$1' . "<span class=\"menu-description\">{$item->post_content}</span><", $item_output ); 
	}
	else {
		return $item_output;
	}

}

This is the error I am getting:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home3/angieatc/public_html/test1/wp-content/uploads/prose/custom.php on line 11

I do not get this error if I load this in a normal function file from another theme.

Might need to put it into a plugin.http://www.studiopress.community/topic/add-new-widgetized-area-in-prose/page/2/#post-55822

So would the code look like this in the file and save it as extracode.php (or whatever I want to add? Would I add post signature and other codes in there as well?

/** Add description to secondary navigation */
add_filter( 'walker_nav_menu_start_el', 'add_description', 10, 4 );

	$args = (array) $args;

	}
	else {
		return $item_output;
	}

}

Add all your custom PHP code.

I tried, I get an error:

/* Plugin Name: Prose Custom Code Plugin URI: http://example.com Description: Loads customizations for my site Version: 0.1.0 Author: Angie Lambert Author URI: http://strosgirldesigns.com License: GPLv2 or later */ /** Add description to secondary navigation */ add_filter( 'walker_nav_menu_start_el', 'add_description', 10, 4 ); function add_description( $item_output, $item, $depth, $args ) { $args = (array) $args; if ( $args['theme_location'] != 'primary' ) { return preg_replace( '/([^<]*?){$item->post_content}<", $item_output ); } else { return $item_output; } }

**edit, I did not remove the code from the functions so it gave me the line error but this is the error I get now.
