echo '<div class="notice notice-error"><p>' . __( '<h4>Warning: Plugin Missing: CMB2</h4>The DukeYin theme needs Plugin <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/cmb2/" target="_blank">CMB2</a> to function. Search "CMB2" in wordpress plugin panel, install and activit it.', 'dukeyin' ) . '</p></div>';
if(!function_exists('simpleYearlyArchive'))

}

‘new_cmb2_box’ is a function only in your required plugin, replace it with what you need.
