 * Replace:
    `echo '"<a href="the_permalink()"> the_title()"</a>"';`
 * with:
    `echo '<a href="' . the_permalink() . '">' . the_title() . '</a>';`

 * I got it I’m already in a php block and opening another one. I should be doing
   something like this
 * <?php $the_query = new WP_Query(…); ?>
    <?php while ( $the_query->have_posts()):
   $the_query->the_post(); ?> “><?php the_title(); ?> <?php endwhile; ?> <?php wp_reset_postdata();?
