    Greetings all, currently making a theme when testing it, getting an error Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '<' in C:\wamp\www\wordpress\wp-content\themes\wppro\header.php on line 25. But on line 25 I have <?php wp_head(); ?>. Why I’m getting this error? Isn’t the correct use of wp_head?

    Try adding a new line after

    add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'wppro_script_enqueuer');

    containing

    ?>

    Thanks, it worked. Do I need to add a space after get_stylesheet_directory_uri() and before .'/my/directory/style.css?

    No, it is not necessary, but I prefer to add a space before & after the . (string concatenation operator) to make the code easier to read
