 * After the content on my pages and post since making the change to 1.1.1 theme.
   I’ve tried the old and new version of comments.php and I get the same thing with
   both. If I go back to v.1 of the complete theme it goes away but the other issue
   comes back.
 * Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘{‘ in X/wp-content/themes/infoway/comments.
   php on line 1
 * BTW, love the theme so far.

 * FYI, I removed the bit in comments.php with the error (The first bit before <!–
   You can start editing here. –> and I am working fine for now. I don’t usually
   have a need to password protect a post so it may be fixed for me but I wanted
   to point it out regardless.

 * Other than have to resort removing this part:
 * [code]
    <?phpif (post_password_required()) { ?> <p class="nocomments"><?php _e('
   This post is password protected. Enter the password to view comments.', 'infoway');?
   ></p> <?php return; } ?> [/code]
 * Is there any alternative way? I have the same problem.

 * [@nyunyu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nyunyu/), you can discuss that 
   [in your own thread](http://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates#postform).

 * [@andrew](https://wordpress.org/support/users/andrew/), I have the same issues
   as TS, have yet to see any solution apart from the obvious.

 * Replace the code before `<!-- You can start editing here. -->` with
 *     ```
       <?php if ( post_password_required() ) : ?>
           <p class="nocomments"><?php _e( 'This post is password protected. Enter the password to view comments.', 'infoway' ); ?></p>
       <?php endif; ?>
       ```
