# Parse Error: syntax error

 *  Resolved [jimstocco](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jimstocco/)
 * (@jimstocco)
 * [13 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/parse-error-syntax-error-57/)
 * I got this message when I enter the url
 * Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘<‘ in /home/public_html/realestateinformationcentral.
   com/wp-content/themes/suffusion/header.php on line 53
 * The theme editor has no line counter, so I don’t know how to find line 53. I 
   have no HTML expert, but I don’t see the “<” that is unexpected in the code.
 * The code is just underneath in case somebody wants to have a look at it. Any 
   help would be gratefully appreciated.
 * Thanks,
    Jim

 * Are you sure that’s all of the code?

 * It must not have been. After writing the post, I had a bit of an inspiration 
   about how to resolve this. I installed the theme on another domain and copied
   the code into the site that was showing the problem.
 * Problem solved.
