   I am attempting to add this plugin, and have activated it. However, when I input the class, I get a syntax error. I'm putting it into sidebar.php, but am not having any success.

   I should just be able to input this, right?

   <?php if () : ?>
   <?php smcf() ?>
   <?php endif; ?>

   I'm putting it into the following place:

   <div id="right-sidebar">

   <?php if ( function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') && dynamic_sidebar('Sidebar_2') ) : else : ?>

   <?php if () : ?>
   <?php smcf() ?>
   <?php endif; ?>

   <h3>Calendar</h3>
   <?php get_calendar(); ?>

   <div id="blogroll">
   <h3>Friends</h3>

   <?php get_links(-1, '
   • ', '
   ', ' - '); ?>

   But I get the error:

   Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ')' in /home/stylishc/public_html/cruise/wp-content/themes/jd-sunset-3c-10/sidebar.php on line 27

   Please help!

   I believe your getting the unexpected ) because you have nothing in your if statement.

   You have to put a condition in between the () following the word 'if'.

   You can see this syntax in your code elsewhere
   <?php if ( function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') && dynamic_sidebar('Sidebar_2') ) : else : ?>

   In the code above, "function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') && dynamic_sidebar('Sidebar_2')" is your conditional. There's no conditional in "if ()"

   Thank you...However, this now begs another question. What should the condition be? How do I update the code to list the "Contact Us" type of text, and trigger the plugin to work?

   Sorry about that...I guess I didn't put in the actual code!?!?

   Try:

   <?php if (function_exists('smcf')) : ?>
       <?php smcf(); ?>
   <?php endif; ?>

   If you still have issues, let me know.
