Title: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '>' Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '>' * Resolved [kneegroh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kneegroh/) * (@kneegroh) * [12 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/parse-error-syntax-error-unexpected-92/) * Hello, * Its safe to say that I’m a complete novice at WP, please be gentle.. * Today i was in functions.php trying to tweak two things and ended up changing a line or two. Tweaked what I thought I needed to, updated, checked out what I thought I had done, didn’t work, went back in and changed the two things i had changed back to what they initially read, updated and now I get this when I try to do anything on the site.. * “Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘>’ in /home/content/71/10243371/html/ wp-content/themes/CherryFramework/functions.php on line 368” * I should also mention that what I was trying to tweak was no where near line 368. Please help. * funtions.php as copied before I made any changes: * _[Excessive code removed]_ Viewing 2 replies - 1 through 2 (of 2 total) * [WPyogi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpyogi/) * (@wpyogi) * [12 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/parse-error-syntax-error-unexpected-92/#post-4049860) * Where did you download that theme from? These forums only support themes from the repository on this site – so you should ask the people you got it from for help, or download a new copy of the theme. * [zipzit](https://wordpress.org/support/users/zipzit/) * (@zipzit) * [12 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/parse-error-syntax-error-unexpected-92/#post-4049865) * Don’t forget <> generally are for matching tags. Its possible you missed something 50 lines BEFORE line 368, and the system is looking for a tag match. The arrow on 368 highlights a matching tag error, from a previous location. * pay special attention to all the tags * start at line 368 and go up to find the error. Its also nice if your editor tool does autoformating, that way you can immediately see where a tag error might occur. I use ‘sublime’, but there are lots of different editor tools out there. Find one that does php, css and html files. Makes life much easier.
