Put closing php tags before the html or use php to echo it. * [Senff – a11n](https://wordpress.org/support/users/senff/) * (@senff) * [12 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/parse-error-242/#post-4614270) * What do you mean by “_trying to input a meta tag in the head of the root file and an html file in the body_“? * Which file(s) did you edit? If you edited core_functions.php, remove your changes. This is not a file you should mess with. * Thread Starter [jomccall](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jomccall/) * (@jomccall) * [12 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/parse-error-242/#post-4614316) * Check URL Indexing Indexing options Search queries Site geography Site content Appearance in search results Security Verification step 1.
