Title: Parse error: syntax error Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # Parse error: syntax error * Resolved [cairnsmakeupartist](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cairnsmakeupartist/) * (@cairnsmakeupartist) * [12 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/parse-error-syntax-error-78/) * Hi There,” Something terrible has happened ~ I was trying to upgrade the Google Analytics on my site so I could view the demopgraphics of my visitors… I was carefully following the steps and I had to copy and paste some code into the front page of my site. From what I could understand, I thought this code should have gone into the header.php page in editor of the corpo theme. This didn’t work (the validation page on google analytics told me there was an error) and as it was late at night I needed to finish up my work for the day. I removed the code from the header.php page (no I didn’t make an initial backup of the code on that page ~ I know I really should have) I have come back to look at my website a few days later I am met with this error ~ `Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home2/dcyber/public_html/makeupartistrycairns.com.au/ wp-content/themes/corpo/header.php on line 8` * I can’t see any page on my website, only that line … 🙁 * So, I’m thinking the problem may be down to either of the following; A) Perhaps I deleted some extra code from the header.php page that I shouldn’t have (before you ask me, nope, I didn’t create a backup ~ I know I should have) or B) as the wheels have already been set in motion with the process of upgrading google analytics to Universal Analytics ~ in the upgrade guide, I have read that you can’t stop the process or revert to a previous version of Google Analytics ~ perhaps this error is showing because the process is incomplete… * I think point A) is the reason Can I post my header.php page code here for someone to help me please? Or if anyone has any better idea of what has gone wrong I would be most grateful. Code pasted below in backticks ~ Many thanks in advance if someoone has the time or inclination to help … * ``` class="no-js"> <?php wp_title(); ?> >

Thanks if anyone took the time to read. Please consider this as resolved 🙂 * ``` ``` Viewing 1 replies (of 1 total) The topic ‘Parse error: syntax error’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://i0.wp.com/themes.svn.wordpress.org/corpo/1.3.2/screenshot.png) * Corpo * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/theme/corpo/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/theme/corpo/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/theme/corpo/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/theme/corpo/reviews/) ## Tags * [parse-error](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/parse-error/) * [syntax error](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/syntax-error/) * 1 reply * 1 participant * Last reply from: [cairnsmakeupartist](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cairnsmakeupartist/) * Last activity: [12 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/parse-error-syntax-error-78/#post-4739972) * Status: resolved
