 * [12 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/quick-parse-error/)
 * i tried to put a google analytics snippet into the Header.php section of my theme(
   thoughts by WPExplorer).
    wehn i refresh i now only get
 * Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /var/sites/l/lukemagician.com/public_html/
   wp-content/themes/Thoughts/header.php on line 100
 * I removed the snippet but i get the same error. I’m not a coder and could easily
   have accidentally deleted a bracket or something. Anyone able to help?
 * current code in Header.php is:
 *     ```
       <?php
       /**
        * Header.php is generally used on all the pages of your site and is called somewhere near the top
        * of your template files. It's a very important file that should never be deleted.
        * @package Thoughts WordPress Theme

 * Looks like you haven’t quite copied the whole file here. As your error is produced
   on line 100, could you include line 100 as well as the surrounding lines?

 * hey Jeff. I just this minute fixed it. unzipped the original theme from when 
   I d/l it and compared the two. you’re right for what its worth, the last 5 lines
   of code were deleted somehow. Thanks for the super fast reply, i’m sure ill be
   back in a panic in a few days time 🙂

 * Glad to help. One thing that might help you would be to insert Google Analytics
   using a plugin instead of directly within the theme. There’s a ton of Analytics
   plugins out there that should get your all sorted out.
