My question isn't posting to the forum

Permalink 1 user found helpful
I've tried adding to a question to the editing and building forums 4 times in the last day and it simply isn't appearing. I'm logged in, my code samples are inside [code] blocks and I've attached a sample layout in jpg. format and it won't post. Help!

I just replied with the question TWICE with all the code and even THAT is not posting. I even left off the attachment and put the code inside the tags and still...nothing. Is there a limit of characters as I have seen some fairly long posts on the forums?

that's odd. Does it give you an error message?

Our spam filter might be getting angry at the length.

Try posting your code to something like pastebin.com and keep the
message more brief..

This is the error I get when I go tohttp://www.regularguywriting.com

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '<' in /home/content/14/5048314/html/regularguywriting/themes/regular_guy_writing/default.php on line 18

I created a simple theme template to use and followed the steps to concrete"ize" the theme. The theme displays in my themes panel but won't activate.

On my server in the themes directory I have the site listed as regular_guy_writing

I put the default.php code on pastebin.com under Regular Guy C5 Site

Any help would be greatly appreciated as this is my first C5 site

It would be awesome if you added a link to the URL. Tried searching.

What I think your issue is that you have code like this:

<?php
//php code
<html>
    <head>
....


the problem is that you are not closing your php tag before you are writing html.

after the php code you have to add ?> and then the error should go away.
