Hi warriors, I have a self hosted wordpress blog. But while I was pasting some add code to the theme, suddenly the blog could not just load. Each time I type the url to my web browser this is what is always displayed. Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '<' in /home/fataiade/public_html/wp-content/themes/magazine-basic/widgets/widget_feature.php on line 58. Please can some one come to my aid.

Thanks.

Hi Vijay, there is error in widget_feature.php, there is unexpected "<" on line 58.
Maybe you could check what you added there? Best way to check is download the file from your host and check it in dreamweaver.

Thanks.

This the code for the widget - where is the code for the ad code you put in? I'm sure that you have either an extra '<' in the ad code or you inserted your ad code in the wrong place.
