New Page Template Parsing Error

  • Hey everyone. I have created a very basic page template. The code is below:

    <?php
/*
Template Name: apage
*/
?>

<?php
get_header();
?>

<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

<div class="post" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
	 <h1><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></a> </h1>
<h3><?php edit_post_link(__('Edit This')); ?></h3>

	<p>
		<?php the_content(__('(more...)')); ?>
	</p>
</div>
<?php get_footer(); ?>

    When I drop that page in my theme folder and chose to use it as a page template with one of pages I get a parsing error!

    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /mnt/gs01/herd02/4483/domains/snfguild.com/html/wp-content/themes/Soundfury/apage.php on line 23

    Can someone help me understand what’s happening here?

  • You have an open ‘if’ statement. You may want to add <?php endwhile; endif; ?>

    1. if (have_posts()) will check to see if you have a post
    2. while (have_posts()) – if you do, execute the_post()
    3. endwhile; closes while()
    4. endif; closes if()

    Have a look at the default theme to see how this is implemented. Additionally here is some extra reading,
