Title: parse error: syntax error Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # parse error: syntax error * [Alineke](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alineke/) * (@alineke) * [12 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/parse-error-syntax-error-68/) * Hello, * I wanted to do the Google verification with the metatag, so I copy the code and put it between and , but the verification didn’t work. So I tried, and tried….Then I went to my site and got this: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected‘/’ in /home4/aline/public_html/wp-content/themes/twentyeleven/header.php on line 60 I’m new to all this and don’t know what to do, can someone help me? I know I did something wrong on line 60, but how can I see where line 60 is? my site is [http://www.gratiskinderspullen.com](http://www.gratiskinderspullen.com) This is what I have: * ``` /** * The Header for our theme. * Displays all of the section and everything up till
* * @package WordPress * @subpackage Twenty_Eleven * @since Twenty Eleven 1.0 */ ?> > <?php /* * Print the <title> tag based on what is being viewed. */ global $page, $paged; wp_title( '|', true, 'right' ); // Add the blog name. bloginfo( 'name' ); // Add the blog description for the home/front page. $site_description = get_bloginfo( 'description', 'display' ); if ( $site_description && ( is_home() || is_front_page() ) ) echo " | $site_description"; // Add a page number if necessary: if ( $paged >= 2 || $page >= 2 ) echo ' | ' . sprintf( __( 'Page %s', 'twentyeleven' ), max( $paged, $page ) ); ?> * tag of your theme, or you will break many plugins, which * generally use this hook to add elements to such * as styles, scripts, and meta tags. */ wp_head(); ?> >

One such program is DreamWeaver… and though I don’t like DreamWeaver for very much, the code view is rather useful… plus it has a built in FTP client. Those are the ONLY two good features about it. * At any rate… look in your code for these lines: * ``` if ( is_singular() && get_option( 'thread_comments' ) ) wp_enqueue_script( 'comment-reply' ); /> * tag of your theme, or you will break many plugins, which * generally use this hook to add elements to such * as styles, scripts, and meta tags. */ ``` * and remove this line completely: * `/> I removed the other codes, but I can’t find this code. my site also changed, other layout,… * [wpismypuppet](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wordpressismypuppet/) * (@wordpressismypuppet) * [12 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/parse-error-syntax-error-68/#post-3957603) * You probably just need to add
