Just remove this tag from the line in error.</p> <p>I did not realize you were adding this code from within the WP editor to your functions.php file. This is not advisable due to this current situation. If you make any mistakes, you can not undo them since the site (front end and back end) will be inaccessible.</p> <p>You will want to login via FTP, open your theme's functions.php file and remove the "&lt;?php" tag at the line indicated by the PHP error. Sorry for the confusion. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/pull-down-field-populated-from-post-titles#post-23515 Sun, 17 Apr 2011 17:11:27 +0000 Laura Johnson 23515@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi.</p> <p>Unfortunately, now I'm getting this error:</p> <p>Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /home/brewbe2/public_html/newtest/wp-content/themes/ultrawebstudio/functions.php on line 345</p> <p>And I can't get in to my website, front-end or back-end.</p> <p>Laura </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/pull-down-field-populated-from-post-titles#post-23512 Sun, 17 Apr 2011 16:51:50 +0000 David Smith 23512@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi Laura,</p> <p>Give this updated snippet a shot:</p> <p><a href="http://pastie.org/1804905" rel="nofollow">http://pastie.org/1804905</a></p> <p>You'll want to update the form ID, the drop down field ID, and the category ID where specified in the code.

Do I need to use the category name or the slug (I tried the slug - no joy)? Also, I can't figure out why only 5 posts are showing...I don't see a limit set in the code.</p> <p>What I want to do:<br /> I have a dog rescue site where we list Available Beagles, one per post. We allow readers to sponsor beagles and I have set up the sponsorship page with a form where they can select which dog they want to sponsor from the list of available beagles in that category.</p> <p>You can get to the site: newtest.brewbeagles.org. You'll see both the the <a href="http://newtest.brewbeagles.org/sponsor-a-beagle/" rel="nofollow">Sponsor a Beagle page</a> and the <a href="http://newtest.brewbeagles.org/category/available-beagles-2/" rel="nofollow">Available Beagles list</a> there.</p> <p>I know very little about .php, and I've gotten this far mostly because your instructions on that earlier thread were AMA-ZING!</p> <p>Can you help me?<br /> Laura </p>
