 * Try adding the following line just above line 280 in `functions.php`:
 * > if (strlen($content) <= $max_char) $max_char = strlen($content);
 * Anyway, I suggest you tell the theme’s author about this problem. I’m sure he’ll
   fix this in a future release.

 * Hi Chschenk,
 * Thanks for your tip. I did give it a go but received this error message:
 * Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_IF in /home/content/32/4437032/html/shoesfordiabeticguide/
   shoesfordiabetics/wp-content/themes/magasin-siete/functions.php on line 280
 * I emailed the theme author but haven’t received a reply yet.
 * Thanks for making the effort to help me out. Have a great day.

 * The corresponding snippet should look like the following:
 * > function themefunction_content(…) {
   >  … $content = strip_tags($content);
   >  if (strlen($content) <= $max_char) $max_char = strlen($content);
   >  $space =
   > strpos($content,” “,$max_char); if (strlen($_GET[‘p’]) > 0) { …
 * If you can’t manage to fix this yourself, [contact](http://www.christianschenk.org/contact/)
   me and I’ll have a more detailed look.

 * chschenk,
 * Thank you so much for your reply. I’m going to save your problem solving tip.
   Out of frustration, I switched to another template but I could become motivated
   to return to the former.
 * Thanks again for your assistance. Have a great day!
