 * You probably remove too much, or not every piece of code you’ve inserted earlier.
   Show line 22 of your code.

 * [@umairi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/umairi/) please use pastebin.com
   or `code` tag here for code.
 * You have error here:
    `echo "<div id="clear"></div><div id="xs-pagination">";`
   it should be like that: `echo '<div id="clear"></div><div id="xs-pagination">';`
   Use ‘ instead of “.

 * [@umairi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/umairi/) did you cleared cache 
   of your browser?
 * And log into your ftp account and check your functions.php file if you really
   remove that code.
