T_ENDWHILE error

(Check out this Pastebin so you can easily see the line numbers: https://pastebin.com/1wR5uy5e)

What’s likely happening here is that you’ve forgotten the closing brace for the if-block opened on line 5 (if ($1 == 1)). It looks like the closing brace on line 13 is correctly matched with the if-block opened on line 9, and then there’s nothing to close the if-block on line 5, so the parser sees the endwhile and gets confused.

Thanks Stephen, I added in the closing brace on line 5 but it now saying:
syntax error, unexpected ‘)’

What is your current code? Also, is that the complete error? Usually PHP will tell you the line number where the error occurred.

That’s the complete error, it’s saying the error is on line 5

Hello dnbl00,
You have not closed if condition in the code. Use following code:

<div class="carousel-inner" role="listbox">

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

   <?php if ($i==1) { ?>
    <div class="item active">
      <?php } else { ?>
         <div class="item">
         <?php if ( has_post_thumbnail ()) {
          $url = wp_get_attachment_url( get_post_thumbnail_id());
          ?>
          <img src="<?php echo $url; ?>" alt="<?php the_title(); ?>">
          <?php } ?>
          <div class="container">
            <div class="carousel-caption">
              <h1><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
              <p><a class="btn btn-lg btn-primary" href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" role="button">Read more</a></p>
            </div>
          </div>
        </div>
        <?php }?>
      <?php endwhile; endif; ?>

Thanks cedcommerce, that works!
