Title: "Expecting" error message Last modified: August 22, 2016 --- # "Expecting" error message * Resolved [mkb1967](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mkb1967/) * (@mkb1967) * [11 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/expecting-error-message/) * Hi, Today I edited the registration and login messages of my site. I have done this many times. Today I simply pasted * at the end of the messages, before the ending ‘.

I was simply correcting what I typed on the first post. However, a few days I figured out that the New User Approve script didn’t like the br at the end of the sentence.
