 * ok so im editing a single theme file to have it so if the page number is one 
   specific number, it will post a div, but if its any other page it wont post anything.
 * here is my coding:
 *     ```
       <?php  if ( is_page('297'))  {
           echo '<div class="content-block widget nopadding">
       <div class="block-title">
       <span>Beat Store</span>
       </div>
       <div class="beatstore ">
       <object type='application/x-shockwave-flash' height='385' width='610' data='http://www.myflashstore.net/widgets/flash/soundstore.swf?user_id=49626'  allowscriptaccess='always'>
       <param name='movie' value='http://www.myflashstore.net/widgets/flash/soundstore.swf?user_id=49626' />
       <param name='menu' value='false' />
       <param name='wmode' value='transparent' />
       <param name='allowscriptaccess' value='always' />
       <param name='flashvars' value='autoplay=0&' />
       </object>
       </div>
       </div>';
       ?>
       ```
   
 * but im getting the error:
 * `Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ',' or ';'`

 * Give this a go:
 *     ```
       <?php  if ( is_page('297') )  { ?>
   
       <div class="content-block widget nopadding">
       <div class="block-title">
           <span>Beat Store</span>
       </div>
       <div class="beatstore">
       <object type='application/x-shockwave-flash' height='385' width='610' data='http://www.myflashstore.net/widgets/flash/soundstore.swf?user_id=49626'  allowscriptaccess='always'>
       <param name='movie' value='http://www.myflashstore.net/widgets/flash/soundstore.swf?user_id=49626' />
       <param name='menu' value='false' />

 * i tried it, no more error but the div isnt displaying.
 * currently the way my theme is setup it puts my artists in an artists section.
   
   so the URL would be:
 * `www.mysitehere.com/artists/pagetitlehere`
 * i have determined that the post ID for my specific page is 297 because when i
   go to edit the page the URL says:
 * `wp-admin/post.php?post=297&action=edit`
 * is this correct and could the theme be conflicting with this?
 * by the way im using this theme:
 * `http://themeforest.net/item/replay-responsive-music-wordpress-theme/3172436`

 * I’m sorry but as you appear to be using a commercial theme, you need to seek 
   support from the theme’s developer/vendor. We do not support [commercial products](http://codex.wordpress.org/Forum_Welcome#Commercial_Products)
   here.

 * general:
 * [http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/is_page](http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/is_page)
 * try to use the page title or page slug in the if statement.
 * are you sure it is a _static _page?
 * also try to check the ID directly:
 * `<?php if ( $post->ID == 297 ) { ?>`
