 * Fix worked for me as well. Thanks [@ghoulsnghosts](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ghoulsnghosts/)
   for the pointer and thanks to [@lilyfan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lilyfan/)
   for the solution.
 * Here is [@lilyfan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lilyfan/)’s fix that worked
   for me (from [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/255088](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/255088)):
 * > (1) There are two shorthand PHP tags. Because my server is “short_open_tag 
   > = Off”, a PHP parse error was occur.
   > The fix point is below.
   > * line 429 of functions.php
   >  <div class=”postcontent<?php if (current_user_can(‘
   > edit_post’, get_the_id() )) {?> editarea<?}?>”….
   > should be:
   >  <div class=”postcontent<?php if (current_user_can( ‘edit_post’,
   > get_the_id() )) {?> editarea<?php } ?>”
   > * line 27 of entry.php
   >  <div class=”postcontent<?php if (current_user_can( ‘
   > edit_post’, get_the_id() )) {?> editarea<?}?>”… shoud be: `<div class=”postcontent
   > <?php if (current_user_can( ‘edit_post’, get_the_id() )) {?> editarea<?php }?

 * 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
