Page Template Showing Page Content Followed by Specific Post Categories

    Hi,
    I’m using the Twenty Ten theme. I’m trying to create a page template which shows the content of the page followed by posts in specific categories. I consulted the Codex and came up with the following code:

    <?php
/*
Template Name: Page Of Specific Post Categories
*/

/* This is for a child theme of Twenty Ten. */

get_header(); ?>

		<div id="container-right" class="no-title">
			<div id="content" role="main">

			<?php
			/* The loop: the_post retrieves the content
			* of the new Page list the posts,
			*/
			if ( have_posts() ) :
				while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();

				// Display content of page
				get_template_part( 'loop', 'page' );
				wp_reset_postdata();

				endwhile;
			endif;

			$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;

			$args = array(
				// Change these category SLUGS to suit your use.
				'category_name' => 'music, videos, other',
				'paged' => $paged
			);

			$list_of_posts = new WP_Query( $args );
			?>
			<?php if ( $list_of_posts->have_posts() ) : ?>
				<?php /* The loop */ ?>
				<?php while ( $list_of_posts->have_posts() ) : $list_of_posts->the_post(); ?>
					<?php // Display content of posts ?>
					<?php get_template_part( 'loop', 'single' ); ?>
				<?php endwhile; ?>

			</div><!-- #content -->
		</div><!-- #container-right -->

<?php get_footer(); ?>

    However, when I run the template, I get the error message “syntax error, unexpected $end on line 47”. I have checked my code several times and I can not figure out my mistake. I would greatly appreciate your help.

    Many thanks in advance.

    Hi esmi,

    Thank you for your response.

    Yes, I’m using a child theme.

    I also added the following code after <?php endwhile; ?> to show an error
    if there are no posts.

    <?php else : ?>
				<?php /* If there are no posts to display, such as an empty archive page */ ?>
				<?php if ( ! have_posts() ) : ?>
					<div id="post-0" class="post error404 not-found">
						<h1 class="entry-title"><?php _e( 'Not Found', 'twentyten' ); ?></h1>
						<div class="entry-content">
							<p><?php _e( 'Apologies, but no results were found for the requested archive. Perhaps searching will help find a related post.', 'twentyten' ); ?></p>
							<?php get_search_form(); ?>
					         </div><!-- .entry-content -->
				         </div><!-- #post-0 -->
<?php endif; ?>

    However, I still get the error message.
