 * your code is partially broken because it was posted without being marked as code;
 * please paste the code into a pastebin – [http://codex.wordpress.org/Forum_Welcome#Posting_Code](http://codex.wordpress.org/Forum_Welcome#Posting_Code)–
   this has the added advantage of showing line numbers.

 * Delas, can you copy it out of the file exactly and mark the syntax highlighting
   as php please?
 * Also, can you just upload a fresh copy of category-property.php?
 * This is a really good example of why you should always make a [child theme](http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes).

   posts re: posting code here – again, you cannot post code here that way – it 
   gets corrupted and it messes up the forums. **Please use a pastebin.**

 * try and add a space after `<?php`:
 * `?><?php } else { echo'<a href="'.get_permalink().'">'.multisearch($post->ID,'
   medium').'</a>'; }?>`
