It’s saying there is an endwhile statement in the wrong place. It often means the error is above that statement – it encountered the endwhile by falling through out of some unclosed If block for example. * If you can’t find it, if you post the contents of functions.php in a pastebin someone can help you locate the error.

Give it a try and see if it resolves the problem. * If it does, double check with the theme file you downloaded – if it is missing in the original file, let the theme author know so it can be corrected. It seems likely though that somehow it was removed in your installation only, as this would happen to everyone if it was in the distributed theme code. * [emsltek](https://wordpress.org/support/users/emsltek/) * (@emsltek) * [17 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-error-5/#post-1049803) * I am having the same problem on my self-hosted WP, running on WAMP. I tried adding the closing PHP tag, per stvwlf’s post. When added, the same error occurs, but on line 730. * I’m thinking the problem is not an absent closing PHP tag. * WP 2.7.1 MySQL 5.0.18 PHP 5.1.2 * [stvwlf](https://wordpress.org/support/users/stvwlf/) * (@stvwlf) * [17 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-error-5/#post-1049857) * Hi * I’m not running the code and I don’t see exactly what is going wrong. If you are both having this error in the same place, it is likely a bug in the theme code. * [noel](https://wordpress.org/support/users/noel/) * (@noel) * [17 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-error-5/#post-1049882) * Thanks for the notice.
