    I’d like to eliminate the phrase CURRENTLY BROWSING CATEGORY on category pages. Can someone tell me how? Here’s an example.

    There’s an easy but VERY rigorous solution to this, open up your functions.php (in the pinboard folder) and delete the function pinboard_current_location.

    That should get rid of it on any page on your site.

    In stead of deleting it, you could always just comment it out, giving you the opportunity to get it back really quickly without the possibility of maybe getting a symbol wrong or something.

    Hope it helps!

    Thanks Kashemy. What do you mean by “comment it out”?

    Oh, do you mean add custom CSS? I would need help knowing exactly what to add. Pretty new to the HTML stuff.

    By comment it out I mean, open up the PHP file, and add /* before and */ after the lines in question.

    Excellent. Glad to know how to not only fix this issue, but I know how to do the same with others. Teach a person to fish and they can catch their own fish. ๐Ÿ˜‰ Thank you!

    Kashemy … HELP!!! I’m apparently not a very good fisher person. Maybe I didn’t understand something correctly, but I attempted to add */ to the below HTML.

    */
    function pinboard_current_location() {
    global $pinboard_page_template;

    I wasn’t sure where to put it, so I tried here … location()*/

    It didn’t work and I got an error report. So I put it back exactly how it was before, but now I’m still getting the error report and my site is completely blocked. When you try to go to http://blissfulmiss.com you get this error:

    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘*’, expecting ‘{‘ in /home3/suchey/public_html/wp-content/themes/pinboard/functions.php on line 1279

    I then found a folder I have with all the CSS info. Found the functions page I had messed with, double checked it was the right thing, and copied and pasted the exact info and it didn’t work. I still get the message. ๐Ÿ™

    Can you help me???

    I can’t help you with the “syntax error” problem, but when you get your theme and page up and running again;

    In “Theme Options” / “General”, under “Blog Pages” you have the option “Show current location in archive pages”

    As far as i can tell, if you leave that blank you wonยดt see the “Currently browsing..” text

    Jiffer I’m not able to help you at the moment, I’ll be back at my WP server tomorrow, I’ll try and see if I can sort out your syntax error issue.

    In the mean time, can’t you just revert to how the code was before?

    Thanks Thomas. I’ll try that.

    Kashemey, I did try putting the code back exactly the way it was before, as well as pasting in the whole page of code from my downloaded Pinboard folder just to be sure it was exactly as it should be. Neither worked. I think that once I got the error, nothing I do will change it. It still says the error is there, in reference to the *, but there is no * in the line it’s referring to. I only have access to the CSS Stylesheet from hitting the back arrow to get back to it and have it open in a different window. If I leave that page, I’ll never get back to it without hitting the back arrow again, but it doesn’t seem to matter since it appears nothing I do that page makes a difference.

    I’m getting input from people on another thread as well and someone else looked at the entire function.php code I have and said it all looks fine. Someone else suggested re-downloading the theme through FTP from my host site might be the best thing and that’s what I’m figuring I’ll do if I don’t get any other suggestions soon. I haven’t had time to do it or I probably would have by now. I have no clue how, but figure HostGator customer service can walk me through it.

    I’ll let you know if I end up doing that and if it works. I won’t have time for a while and possibly not today at all.

    I do apologize for the problems my suggestion caused Jiffer, and I’m sorry I can’t be of much help.

    Keep me posted on your progress to recovery

    No worries Kashemy. It took some doing, but my site is back up. In the process I learned a thing or two about FTP and got an FTP program connected to my host site.
