   Hey everyone. I have created a very basic page template. The code is below:
   

   <?php
   /*
   Template Name: apage
   */
   ?>
   
   <?php
   get_header();
   ?>
   
   <?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
   
   <div class="post" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
   	 <h1><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></a> </h1>
   <h3><?php edit_post_link(__('Edit This')); ?></h3>
   
   	<p>
   		<?php the_content(__('(more...)')); ?>
   	</p>
   </div>
   <?php get_footer(); ?>

   When I drop that page in my theme folder and chose to use it as a page template with one of pages I get a parsing error!

   Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /mnt/gs01/herd02/4483/domains/snfguild.com/html/wp-content/themes/Soundfury/apage.php on line 23

   Can someone help me understand what's happening here?

   You have an open 'if' statement. You may want to add <?php endwhile; endif; ?>

   1. if (have_posts()) will check to see if you have a post
   2. while (have_posts()) - if you do, execute the_post()
   3. endwhile; closes while()
   4. endif; closes if()

   Have a look at the default theme to see how this is implemented. Additionally here is some extra reading,
