 * Hi,
 * I am getting this error but I don’t see where the issue is.
 * Can you?
 *     ```
       <?php
       /**
       * @Start notification helper class
       * @return
       */
   
       if( !class_exists( 'CS_Notification_Helper' ) ) {
       	class CS_Notification_Helper{
   
       		public $message;
   
       		public function __construct() {
       			// Do Something here..
       		}
   
       		public function success( $message = 'No recored found' ) {
       			global $post;
   
       			$output	 = '';
       			$output	.= '<div class="col-md-12 cs-succ_mess"><p>';
       			$output	.= $message;
       			$output	.= '</p></div>';
   
       			echo force_balance_tags ( $output );
       		}
   
       		public function error( $message='No recored found' ) {
       			global $post;
   
       		   $output	 = '';
       		   $output	.= '<div class="col-md-12 cs-error"><p>';
       		   $output	.= $message;
       		   $output	.= '</p></div>';
   
       		   echo force_balance_tags ( $output ); 	
   
       		}
   
       		public function warning( $message='No recored found' ) {
       		  global $post;	
   
       		  $output	 = '';
       		  $output	.= '<div class="col-md-12 cs-warning"><p>';
       		  $output	.= $message;
       		  $output	.= '</p></div>';
   
       		 echo force_balance_tags ( $output );
       		}
   
       		public function informations($message='No recored found') {
       		  global $post;
   
       		  $output	 = '';
       		  $output	.= '<div class="col-md-12 cs-informations"><p>';
       		  $output	.= $message;
       		  $output	.= '</p></div>';
   
       		 echo force_balance_tags ( $output ); 
   
       		}
       	}
       }
   
       $cs_notification = new CS_Notification_Helper();
       global $cs_notification;
       ?>
       ```
   
 * Thanks

 * Is there no space between “if” and “(“? Try adding one.

 * There’s nothing in that code that’s wrong. I’d guess that it’s going to have 
   more to do with how you’re including that file in the site. What are you uisng
   to call that file? Something like `include()`, or `require()`?

 * I really don’t know because this is all new for me.
    I will have to contact theme
   support for this issue.
