Hi Greg Friday,

It didn’t dawn on me until a couple of days after I got your first post — your the theme author (slap head really, really hard). I am such a DA.

I really like your themes. I’m looking at Focus right now, but will wait for awhile before using it. I’m getting into aerial videography and it seems like Focus is made for vids.

Anyway, thanks for the great work.
Take care

Whoohoo!!!
Figured it out.
If you take the Current theme (or any supported theme I think) and install the Page Builder plug-in, by Greg Friday, it includes my beloved Embed Video Widget (said with tongue in cheek) as well as a number of others that are not included in the original Current theme.

I win.

Thanks again for your help.

Thank you ESMI for your response.

I assumed I was using the WordPress approved theme, since that is where I downloaded and installed it from.

No matter. I will try to survive without it – hard as that may be.

I was wondering however, in looking through some of the other themes (Focus By SiteOrigin Version 1.1.7), I can see that in the Widgets area that the widget I was referring to is actually present in this theme’s Widget area under Appearance drop down menu. It is called Embedded Video (PB).

Please forgive my lack of knowledge as WP has opened an entirely new learning experience for me. Translated, that means I’ll just be bustin’ your chops with more DA questions ;).

Hello Ronangelo,
Thanks for your response.
I installed the initial Current theme through the GoDaddy host. I was futzing with one of the php files and crashed it. I uninstalled the theme, then re-installed the same theme.

I admit I am not that smart as this is my first shot at using a WP blog site. I normally just use non-WP templates so I’m not totally ignorant – although sometimes I do feel like a total smutz. It’s not a big deal if I can’t figure it out, but I do know it existed.

It was in the Widgets area of the Appearance editor. It allowed me drag it to the side bar where all good widgets go to be active. There was an input box that let me insert a URL from YouTube. That video then appeared within a small player in the side bar of all the post pages. It was kinda neat since I’m doing posts on aerial photography.

Thank you for taking the time to respond. I’ll keep searching till I figure out what the heck I did.

Update:

Your script is working just fine now thank you very much!!!

The dastardly Archive Category is nowhere to be found.

OHHHHHHHHHH crappola —- i just had an epiphany unfortunately, too late.

I had your message forwarded to my Outlook mail and opened there. Outlook added a bunch of BS to the message. I used that to update the tags file and it totally f’d the site. I can’t even get beck in to fix it now – although I was able to replace the original file, it still kept giving me the above parse syntax error.

Live and learn. Looks like I’ll be uninstalling and reinstalling this weekend.

Thanks once again for your efforts though.

Hi Greg Friday – A coincidence maybe — I think not!!
Hey thanks for your input – wait for it – BUT – you thought it was gonna be easy didn’t you?
I popped open the offending file and found the lines that need to be changed, but they are different in appearance than what you have posted. I should mention that I originally downloaded version 3.0 of WordPress then yesterday upgraded to 3.6. Not sure if that would make a diff or not.

Regardless, I changed them to see what would happen. I didn’t work, so I changed it back. Now I get a syntax error – of course.

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘}’ in /home/content/a/n/d/andrew0612/html/wp-content/themes/current/inc/template-tags.php on line 211
SO I’m looking for the unexpected ‘}’ and it’s no where to be found.

Any Ideas? Sorry to have to put you through this. I’ll keep playing. I copied the original code before destroying it, but even with that and simply copying it back into the file it still gives me the parse error.

Thank you again for your help.
