• I am really new to this BUT always eager to learn.

    I have designed my own template and uploaded the theme + styles + images to my themes folder. I successfully selected the theme in my wordpress control panel but then I got the following error:

    Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_ENDWHILE in /home/bionicno/public_html/WordPress/wp-content/themes/bionicnomad-hip/index.php on line 57

    my themes folder structure looks like this:

    ./bionicnomad-hip
    – style.css
    – index.php
    – comments.php
    – ./images
    – all my images

    I am not very knowledgable with php and just followed a tutorial on how to make your own theme. I really hope that somebody can help me out here ( or I am going to get gray hair over this…)

    My code in index.php is as follows:

    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC “-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN” “http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd”&gt;

  • Please, don’t post long code here; use http://pastebin.com

    I’ll echo moshu, just pasting line 57, the source of the error, would have sufficed. As it is, the way you have pasted the index, we have no way of knowing what in on line 57.

    Check for an extra character, or a missing character. My experience, that’s the case, you forget a ” or ?> to a tag.

    Just taking a quick glance at your code, it appears that you forgot to actually start your WP loop…i.e. under the <div id=”main”>

    add:
    <?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>

    and see if that corrects the problem.

    P.S. I’m with moshu and miklb on the long bits of code…I make no guarantees on whether the above is the necessary fix simply because I didn’t comb through your code 😉
