Wordpress PHP: Unexpected $End Error

Question

This is both my first time messing with a Wordpress Template and my first time using PHP (save for the occasional server include). Which is to say, I no nothing of PHP and only barely have a grasp on the syntax.

I'm trying to create some customized loops and once I got one to work, I simply copy pasted the working code, changed the ID's, and expected that to work. Silly maybe? Anyhow, I'm getting an unexpected $end on line 203.

Anyone willing to tell me what's causing that? Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

The last line of php code you have is:

   <?php else : ?>

You need to complete that control structure. You are missing something like:

   <?php endif; ?>
