 * Hi,
    I just created my first plugin – using some software that I bought to help.
   I followed all the instructions (I know nothing about coding and this software
   is supposed to help avoid that complication). Everything seemed to go to plan
   until I installed the plugin and when activated, I got the following error: **
   Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_DNUMBER, expecting ‘(‘ in /home/content/
   13/8475413/html/bookpressrelease.info/wp-content/plugins/WPNewsRoom_v1.2/index.
   php on line 24**
 * Line 24 of index.php reads: **$(‘iframe’).contents().find(‘h1’).attr(‘contenteditable’,‘
   false’);**
 * Is this something simple I can fix? I looked for missing commas, etc. and extra
   spaces, but found nothing.
 * Thanks
    Dave
