Comment Callback Error

  • Hello All,
    I recently followed this tutorial on doing custom comment styling.
    Advanced WordPress Comment Styles and Tricks
    I keep getting: Warning: call_user_func(advanced_comment) [function.call-user-func]: First argument is expected to be a valid callback in /home/*******/public_html/*******/wp-includes/comment-template.php on line 1336.
    I am not sure why I am getting this error, I followed the tutorial step by step. Thank you in advance for any help ??
    Here is my code (trying to put in backticks):
    Functions.php:

    <?php

	// Add RSS links to <head> section
	automatic_feed_links();

	// Load jQuery
	if ( !is_admin() ) {
	   wp_deregister_script('jquery');
	   wp_register_script('jquery', ("https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4/jquery.min.js"), false);
	   wp_enqueue_script('jquery');
	}

	// Clean up the <head>
	function removeHeadLinks() {
    	remove_action('wp_head', 'rsd_link');
    	remove_action('wp_head', 'wlwmanifest_link');
    }
    add_action('init', 'removeHeadLinks');
    remove_action('wp_head', 'wp_generator');

	// Declare sidebar widget zone
    if (function_exists('register_sidebar')) {
    	register_sidebar(array('name'=>'sidebar',
'before_widget' => '',
'after_widget' => '',
'before_title' => '<h4>',
'after_title' => '</h4>',
));
/*
register_sidebar(array('name'=>'sidebar-2',
'before_widget' => '',
'after_widget' => '',
'before_title' => '<h4>',
'after_title' => '</h4>',
));

register_sidebar(array('name'=>'sidebar-3',
'before_widget' => '',
'after_widget' => '',
'before_title' => '<h4>',
'after_title' => '</h4>',
)); */
}

//this function will be called in the next section
function advanced_comment($comment, $args, $depth) {
   $GLOBALS['comment'] = $comment; ?>

    Almost forgot, if this helps any. Line 1336 from comment-template.php:

    if ( !empty($args['callback']) ) {
	call_user_func($args['callback'], $comment, $args, $depth);
	return;
