Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end

    Today I upgraded my site to 3.5.1. All was running well until I decided to add a post widget to the sidebar. It kept giving me parse errors when trying to click on any of the post links.

    I have searched and tried everything – reinstalled the the wp-includes folder from a fresh download of WP 3.5.1, used an old backup copy of the functions.php file, renamed theme and plugin folder to see if it would “force” wordpress to use a different theme, etc. And nothing seems to work. I get this error:

    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /home/content/f/l/o/flowrite1/html/flowrite/wp-content/themes/bluehorizon/functions.php on line 65

    Here is my functions.php file:

    <?php
if ( function_exists('register_sidebar') )
    register_sidebar(array(
        'before_widget' => '<li>',
    'after_widget' => '</li>',
 'before_title' => '<h4>',
        'after_title' => '</h4>',
    ));

// WP-mapleleaf Pages Box
	function widget_mapleleaf_pages() {
?>

<h4><?php _e('Pages'); ?></h4>
   <ul>
<li class="page_item"><a href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>">Home</a></li>

<?php wp_list_pages('title_li='); ?>

 </ul>

<?php
}
if ( function_exists('register_sidebar_widget') )
    register_sidebar_widget(__('Pages'), 'widget_mapleleaf_pages');

// WP-mapleleaf Search Box
	function widget_mapleleaf_search() {
?>

 <ul>
<li>
   <label for="s"><h4><?php _e('Search Posts'); ?></h4></label>
   <form id="searchform" method="get" action="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>/index.php">

            <input type="text" name="s" size="18" /><br>

            <input type="submit" id="submit" name="Submit" value="Search" />

	</form>

</li>
</ul>

<?php
}
if ( function_exists('register_sidebar_widget') )
    register_sidebar_widget(__('Search'), 'widget_mapleleaf_search');

// WP-mapleleaf Blogroll
	function widget_mapleleaf_blogroll() {
?>

<h4><?php _e('Blogroll'); ?></h4>

<ul>

<?php get_links(-1, '<li>', '</li>', '', FALSE, 'name', FALSE, FALSE, -1, FALSE); ?>

</ul>

<?php
}
if ( function_exists('register_sidebar_widget') )
    register_sidebar_widget(__('Blogroll'), 'widget_mapleleaf_blogroll');

?>

    This file has been working great until today…

    I would truly appreciate any help!!!

    Thank you!!

    I failed to mention… now my site is down, with these errors on the dashboard and the website itself. So, I cannot get into dashboard to make changes. Am trying to do it all via cpanel file manager and FTP.
    Thanks again!

    What version did you upgrade from? Is this the theme http://www.wordpressthemesblog.com/blue-horizon.html – the reason I ask is that theme demo uses wp 2.3.1

    Sorry, not 100% sure but think I was on 3.1.2. Again, all seemed to be working fine after the upgrade, with the exception of the posts/categories. But, I had not used them before, just decided today I wanted to.

    Can I go back to an older version? Should I just try to restore from backup the entire site and see if that helps? Not even sure how I’d do this since I cannot get into the dashboard….

    Or, is there something else I can try (edit the above code?) that may help restore the site, even if the categories/posts don’t work in sidebar?

    Thank you!!!

    It is difficult to go back even if you have a backup of the database before the upgrade.

    Using either method you have available rename themes/blue-horizon to themes/blue-horizonx. That should load the default wp theme and get you back into the dashboard.

    Thank you, but I did try that and it failed too.
    But, I overwrote the functions.php file with the file from the default theme and it got me back up and running! Of course, except for the posts/categories in the widget area.. they still give me errors.

    I get this error:
    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘<‘ in /home/content/f/l/o/flowrite1/html/flowrite/wp-content/themes/bluehorizon/index.php on line 12

    <?php
@include("Mobile_Detect.php");
$detect = new Mobile_Detect();
if ($detect->isMobile() && isset($_COOKIE['mobile']))
{
$detect = "false";
}
elseif ($detect->isMobile())
{
header("Location:http://m.flow-riteplumbing.com");
}
<?php 

include_once('gravatar.php');

get_header();
?>

<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

}

<div class="post">
	 <h3 class="storytitle" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>"><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h3>
	<div class="meta"><?php the_category(',') ?> — <?php the_time('l, F j, Y') ?>  <?php edit_post_link(__('Edit This')); ?></div>

	<div class="storycontent">
		<?php the_content(__('(Read on ...)')); ?>
	</div>

	<div class="feedback">
            <?php wp_link_pages(); ?>
            <?php comments_popup_link(__('Comments (0)'), __('Comments (1)'), __('Comments (%)')); ?>
	</div>

	<!--
	<?php trackback_rdf(); ?>
	-->

</div>

<?php comments_template(); ?>

<?php endwhile; else: ?>
<p><?php _e('Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.'); ?></p>
<?php endif; ?>

<?php posts_nav_link(' — ', __('&laquo; Previous Page'), __('Next Page &raquo;')); ?>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

    This was the original problem I was having, before I broke everything 🙂 Any ideas?

    Thank you!!

    I think I’ve got it… with a small exception and I will open a new topic for that one 🙂

    I needed to add the closing tag ?> on line 12.

    This fixed my trouble with posts/categories.
    Thank you, kmessinger, for your help!! 🙂
