As of this morning, I’m getting a similar error:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/nothirds/public_html/wp/wp-blog-header.php on line 5
Although still able to access the dashboard/admin features. Talking to the guy who manages my site, he says the Header.php is “full of advertising shit”.
I have not recently made any manual changes to my template, or installed new plugins.
