 * I hope this is the right section. I’m trying to do
 *     ```
       <?php
         if(is_page()); {
       <h1><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
       }  else {
       <h1>Text HERE</h1>
       }
       ```
   
 * But it keeps giving me an “unexpected < at…” error. What am I doing wrong?
 * Thanks!

 * Thanks for replying but didn’t work. Now I’m getting “Parse error: syntax error,
   unexpected T_ELSE” I can make the is_page(); function just fine, but as soon 
   as I go beyond that I run into errors.
