  • I am getting this message, and do not know why. does anybody know why? (line 21 is the last line of code)
    Hope you can help, Thanks!
    Here is my index.php code:

    <?php get_header(); ?>

    <?php get_sidebar(); ?>

      <div class="main-content">
      <?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<!-- WordPress loop here -->
        <div class="column1-unit">
          <h1><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title='Click to read: "<?php strip_tags(the_title()); ?>"'><?php the_title(); ?></a></h1>
          <h3><?php the_date(); ?>, by <?php the_author(); ?></h3>
          <p><?php the_content("Continue reading '" . the_title('', '', false) . "'"); ?></p>
          <p class="details">| Posted by <?php the_author(); ?> | Categories: <?php the_category(', '); ?> | Comments: <?php comments_number('zero', 'one', 'more', 'number'); ?> |</p>
          <?php endwhile; ?>
          </div>

  • This:

    <?php if (have_posts()) : ?>

    does not have a corresponding endif, which is required. Slip this into your template:

    <?php endif; ?>

    You’ll want it after the hr tag or just above it (but definitely after the endwhile).
