 * Hi there,
 * I tried to hide the tags on my new blog using the code below which I found it
   from [this ](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-hide-tags-from-posts-1?replies=11)
   wordpress topic:
 * > .entry-tags {
   >  display: none; }
 * I’ve copied it in the theme editor, customizer.php file, but when saving I got
   the following error:
 * > Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘.’ in /home/lab/webapps/manuelaboghian/
   > wp-content/themes/syntax/inc/customizer.php on line 27
 * I then delete the code I pasted, but the error was still there, and now [my blog ](http://manuelaboghian.ro/)
   doesn’t work anymore and keeps showing the same error.
 * I’m using the “Syntax” theme.
 * Please advise.
 * Thanks,
 * Manuela

 * The code you were given is CSS, not PHP. If your theme has a built-in custom 
   CSS option, place it there; otherwise, get a [custom CSS plugin](http://wordpress.org/plugins/search.php?q=custom+css)
   and place the given code there instead.
 * To get your blog back, one thing you could do would be to redownload the ZIP 
   file of your theme, get the appropriate file, and reupload it to your server 
   using FTP or whatever file management program your hosting provider uses.
