Ok, got it. In the NewsListing function, at line 136, about half-way down, there is the function declaration. Put this on the line before the function code starts, like so:
if(!function_exists(closeTags)) {
function closeTags($text) {
That means "If ( NOT function_exists (closeTags) ) { go ahead and declare it } for you non-coders out there. Also note the { at the end of that line. We are going to enclose the whole function inside of this "if" statement, so at the end of the function code we have to close the statetment, at line 191,like this:
return $text.$endTags;
}
} // end if function exists block
I’ve attached the entire patched file (why is it a "patch" if something is fixed, but a "hack" if it’s just changed a bit to suit your fancy?) here. Just copy/paste the text over the old one.
