Parse Error

I've read every post I can find but I just can't figure this out. Here's the error:


Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '<' in /home/content/23/8175723/html/wp-content/themes/thesis_182/custom/custom_functions.php on line 24

Can someone point this out. Here's the code:

<?php

---:[ place your custom code below this line ]:---*/

function hide_headline() { 
if (is_page()) 
return false; // Do not show headline 
else 
return true; // Show headline 
} 

add_filter('thesis_show_headline_area', 'hide_headline'); 

remove_action('thesis_hook_before_header', 'thesis_nav_menu');
add_action('thesis_hook_after_header', 'thesis_nav_menu');

Code (markup):

 

This code has no problem. But I think problem lies in one of these functions

add_filter('thesis_show_headline_area', 'hide_headline'); 
remove_action('thesis_hook_before_header', 'thesis_nav_menu');
add_action('thesis_hook_after_header', 'thesis_nav_menu')

Code (markup):

Could you send the body of these functions too?

 

Forgive my ignorance but the above code is everything in the "custom_functions.php" file (Wordpress). What is it that I need to provide?

 

PHP closing tag ( ?> ) is missing.

 

Where does it go?

 

Last line of your script.

 

I tried that and got the same error

 

Paste line 24, or all of that file (custom_functions.php), please.

 

The code I pasted above is the entire file.

 

Did you add ?> to the end (without parentheses)?

 

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '<' in /home/content/23/8175723/html/wp-content/themes/thesis_182/custom/custom_functions.php on line 24
error on line 24 but you post only 22 lines so funny

 

exactly! Why would it specify line 24 when there are only 22 lines of code?

 

It does not.
