# functions.php. Wrong ascii characters!!!!!!!!!!!

 * My code in functions.php:
 * _[Code moderated as per the [Forum Rules](http://codex.wordpress.org/Forum_Welcome#Posting_Code).
   Please use the [pastebin](http://wordpress.pastebin.com/)]_
 * Instead of showing a “»” between breadcrumbs, it is doing something else. Check
   it out [http://www.pullupbarsx.com](http://www.pullupbarsx.com). Just above the
   leftbar, beneath navbar. Anyone know how to solve this problem, or at least what’s
   wrong with it?
 * Many thanks.

 * Try getting rid of all of the styled quotes in your code.

 * Sorry, which are the styled quotes? Yes, I am a noob at website developing.

 * Every single and double-quote is a styled – rather than a plain – quote. Stick
   to using a text editor when writing/amending code.

 * This is the amended code: [http://pastebin.com/SkEPitz6](http://pastebin.com/SkEPitz6)
 * When I change all single and double quotes to non-styled quotes, I get this error
   message:
 * Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /home/jmadz/public_html/wp-content/
   themes/coffeebreak-10/functions.php on line 27
 * Line 27 is the end php bit “?>”.
    I’ve check and there is no white space around
   it.

 * Ok here’s some more information. When I upload this code:
    [http://pastebin.com/mvaanLCG](http://pastebin.com/mvaanLCG)
 * WordPress then changes my functions.php file so it has this code instead:
    [http://pastebin.com/kgbeFcHX](http://pastebin.com/kgbeFcHX)
 * Maybe that has something to do with it. So then I have to paste in the original
   uploaded code, into my functions.php file which is already uploaded in wordpress.
   And when I do that I get those wrong ascii symbols I was firt talking about.
   
   If I leave the code as it is, I get lots of question mark ascii symbols instead.
   Either way, it’s wrong.

 * Thanks for your help esmi. I eventually found a code that worked properly. You
   were a lot of help though. This question is now SOLVED.
