   Hi,
   would really appreciate if any PHP experts out there could help me?

   Could you tell me why the following code is not working, in my single.php:

   [code moderated per forum rules - please follow the guidelines http://codex.wordpress.org/Forum_Welcome#Posting_Code for posting code]

   I am getting the error message:
   Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '<' in site/single.php on line 44
   Line 44 is the third line in the code shown.

   thanks

   As the code has been removed, can you add it to http://pastebin.com and post the link back in a reply.

   It looks like you have an unclosed <?php ; ?> statement, check the code before line 44 and look for any missing braces } or php end tags ?>

   An example that would error would be:
   

   <?php get_header();
   	<div id="container">

   The closing tag ?> is missing (close php and open html), should be:
   

   <?php get_header(); ?>
   	<div id="container">

   Else if:
   

   <?php if($condition==1) : ?>
      <h2 class="entry-title">Blah Blah<h2>
   <?php elseif($condition==2) : ?>
      <h1 class="entry-title">Blah Blah<h1>
   <?php else : ?>
      <h3 class="entry-title">Blah Blah<h3>
   <?php endif; ?>

   HTH

   Thanks for the reply - much appreciated.
   I think it must be this code as the page works fine without it?

   You have mixed code php and html you need to break the php code.

   Solution.
   

   <?php if( in_category('sponsored-posts') ) { ?>
   
   <?php } elseif( in_category('guest-posts') ) { ?>
   
   <?php } else { ?>
   
   <?php } ?>

   Or UNTESTED updated code using : ; and not {}.

   Thank you Ever so much for your help - worked perfectly.
   Just 1 final question!
   In the sponsored-posts category, I don't want any code (I don't want anything to display) so can I just leave it blank or should I add {} which I have seen in other examples?
