Hi,

I have set up a website on wordpress using Vantage premium. I set up a child theme. I recently tried to use a widget in the masthead to create an infinite moving background.

The plugin installation is available here.

Horizontal scroll image slideshow WordPress plugin

I followed the method

Go to ‘add new’ menu under ‘plugins’ tab in your word-press admin.
Search horizontal scroll image slideshow plugin using search option.
Find the plugin and click ‘Install Now’ link.
Finally click activate plug-in link to activate the plug-in.

When I got to the configuration part I did the following
Plugin configuration

1. Drag and drop the widget: Go to widget menu and drag and drop the Horizontal scroll image slideshow widget to your header location.

2. Paste the below code to your desired template location: Copy and past the below mentioned code to your desired template location(ie in PHP file).

I pasted this into the functions.php for my child theme. It now displays the error

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘

    Hi Marc

    If you log into your server’s FTP and navigate to wp-content/themes/, you should see the folder for your child theme. Just rename this child theme to anything else. Even just adding an underscore before its name. This will cause WordPress to disable it.

    From there, you can fix any errors in your child theme’s functions.php, then renable it.

    Hope that does the trick :)

    Well… I got the problem because of the plugin I was trying to install/configure. I’m guessing it doesn’t fall under this forum so just say so if it doesn’t but do you know where I should’ve put that line of php in my child theme?

    <?php if (function_exists (hsis_show)) hsis_show(); ?>

    Thanks
