Problems with a Custom-Made WordPress Theme

In functions.php remove the closing php tag ?> and the empty line below!

From pastebin lines.

32. ?>
33.

Lines 32 and 33.

All other files require the closing php tags ?> except functions.php

EDIT:
Just Checked and edited the code and pastebin seems to add an extra line.

i removed it; nothing changed.

i also tested the theme on my //localhost directory using iis and XAMPP and it works like a charm… I’m thinking it has something to do with either:

1) the WP install
2) the database tables
3) the server is el broke-oh

but i have other sites running wp on this test server just fine; just not this one :-/ go figure.

Thanks for the stab at it at least; and I learned something new… didn’t know that about the functions.php file prior.

unclosed php tags and whitespace at the end of other files accounts for most of the header already sent fatal errors.

all my files are ending on the final line of code and i tend to eliminate all the unnecessary whitespace in my code. I’m not sure what it could be, let alone, why it’s working flawlessly in XAMPP on IIS/APACHE Locally, but as soon as it hits the webserver it takes a crap on me.

I’ve re-installed WP 3 different times, and uploaded my theme and none of them seem to have it working, which makes me believe that it’s a server or .htaccess error.

I see the wp-admin is working and the message mentions a resource so it is the theme and not WP or the database.

If the hosted environment is not iss then it can act differently, xampp and iis is not case-sensitive for folder names and links where other servers are.

I had a folder /icons/32X32/ and /icons/32x32/ worked with Windows Server, IIS and XAMPP, but not on other servers.

I found this in index.php

<?php previous_post_link('?%link') ?> <?php next_post_link('%link?') ?>

Missing the closing ; in the php statements.

<?php previous_post_link('?%link'); ?><?php next_post_link('%link?'); ?>

If that fails try setting a page for the home page in settings and see it it loads.

Just saving page.php as home.php or front-page.php will load that instead of index.php for testing and elimination.

I couldn’t find that code you found there about the previous/next links; but i found a category php reference with a similar problem; I also recognized that my sidebar was being called; which i’m not using… somehow my files seemed to have gotten corrupted… BUT it’s working!

I couldn’t find that code you found there about the previous/next links;

I see it is working ??

The code is in index.php line:39 and single.php line:37

David

that’s strange… my line 39 in dreamweaver is empty…….. ghost code!

lol, I only have the pastebin, leave you to it now.

David

thanks for all the help David

Though, the weird part now is; the home/posts page is working fine; but any PAGES are broken, still erroring out….

sidebar.php is calling itself on line:42 the old ‘recursive function calls’.

<?php wp_sidebar(); ?>

If that fails remove the call to the sidebar in page.php and test.

Loving the challange?

that’s my page.php and it still doesn’t like it…

i’ve deleted it; i think i’m just going to say F it and do a header.php w/ conditional tags to show/hide my rotator on the homepage etc. instead of trying to make page templates… for some reason this site just wants to p*** me off! lol! i’ve never had so many problems…..le sigh

Cannot see any thing in the page code, next is the footer.php

<?php if ( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') || !dynamic_sidebar('Footer Widget Area 1') ) ?>

Same missing closing statement twice ;

<?php if( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') || !dynamic_sidebar('Footer Widget Area 1') ); ?>

B.T.W.

sidebar.php is calling itself on line:42 the old ‘recursive function calls’.

I have checked I was thinking of get_sidebar() there is a wp_header and a wp_footer WordPress action hook, I do not think there is one for wp_sidebar
<?php wp_sidebar(); ?>
