 * Hey,
 * I have a problem.
    I am doing unique template and I have encountered this error.
   My page is now blank, and I don’t understand why. I believe it’s the closing 
   <body> and <html> tags problem.
 *     ```
       <!--Header.php file-->
       <!DOCTYPE html>
       <html <?php language_attributes();?>>
           <head>
               <meta charset="<?php blog_info('charset');?>">
               <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width">
               <title><?php blog_info('name');?></title>
               <?php wp_head();?>
           </head>
   
       <body <?php body_class();?>>
   
       	<div class="container">
               <header class="site-header">
                   <h1><a href"<?php echo home_url();?>"><?php bloginfo('name');?></a></h1>
                   <h5><?php bloginfo('description');?></h5>
               </header>
       ```
   
 *     ```
       <!--Footer.php file-->
       <footer class="site-footer">
       	<p><?php bloginfo('name');?> - &copy; <?php echo date('Y')?></p>
       </footer>
   
       <?php wp_head();?>
       </div> <!-- closing div container -->
       </body>
       </html>
       ```
   
 *     ```
       <!--index.php file-->
       <h1>Hello world!</h1>
   
       <?php
   
       get_header();
   
       if (have_posts()):
       	while (have_posts()) : the_post();?>
   
           <article class="post">
               <h2><a href="<?php the_permalink();?>"><?php the_title();?></a></h2>
               <?php the_content();?>
           </article>
   
       <?php endwhile;
   
       	else :
       	echo '<p>No content found</p>';
   
       endif;
   
       get_footer();
   
       ?>
       ```
   
 * I tried deleting everything in header.php file and footer.php file, then suddenly
   it worked, but when I add something in these files I have blank page error. Can
   anyone provide me with solution? Would be thankful. <3

 * I think in header.php you missed “=” in a tag
