# T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING error

 * I viewed the custom_functions.php file (thesis theme) on a site. Without making
   any changes, I went to leave that area of WP and received the following error
   message: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING, expecting‘)’
   on Line 90. I copy/pasted the php code to Textpad and there is no line 90. I 
   tried removing code and I still receive the error message. Any idea on what is
   causing it? The code is pasted below.
 *     ```
       <?php
   
       // Using hooks is absolutely the smartest, most bulletproof way to implement things like plugins,
       // custom design elements, and ads. You can add your hook calls below, and they should take the
       // following form:
       // add_action('thesis_hook_name', 'function_name');
       // The function you name above will run at the location of the specified hook. The example
       // hook below demonstrates how you can insert Thesis' default recent posts widget above
       // the content in Sidebar 1:
       // add_action('thesis_hook_before_sidebar_1', 'thesis_widget_recent_posts');
   
       // Delete this line, including the dashes to the left, and add your hooks in its place.
