   I have added a custom theme-options page with two text areas and a checkbox. I want to create a function to display one of the textareas only if the check box is checked. I am able to call both textareas and get them to display successfully but for the life of me can't figure out how to do an if/then for the check box.

   Here is what I have been able to get going so far:

   // Add Registration Description from Theme Options page
   function topmarks_reg_description() {	
   
   		if (
   		// THIS IS WHERE I NEED HELP
   		)
   		{
   			// BEGIN GET REGISTRATION DESCRIPTION
   			{ ?>
          			 <div id="reg-description"><p><?php
               		$options = get_option('topmarks_theme_options');
               		echo $options['reg-description'];
           	?> <a href="register">Register now</a></p></div>
      			<?php }
   			// END GET REGISTRATION DESCRIPTION
   		}
   		else
   		{
   			// silence
   		}
   }
   
   // Add our Registration Description function to Thematic Action Hook, number indicates positioning via priority setting
   add_action('thematic_header','topmarks_reg_description', 6);

   Any help with a function if check box is checked?

   checkboxes return TRUE if they are checked and FALSE if they are not. so you need to get_option() before the if statement and use its value as the conditional logic.

   Okay, makes sense. I am still learning as I go - thanks for sending me in the right direction!
