[Resolved] syntax error, unexpected '

[Fekry]

Hi there..
May you help please?
I”ve had this error message every time I try to put this PHP code in child theme:
(Your PHP code changes were rolled back due to an error on line 15 of file wp-content/themes/generatepress_child/functions.php. Please fix and try saving again.
syntax error, unexpected ‘<‘, expecting end of file)

The code:

exit; // Exit if accessed directly.

* the visitor has not yet entered the password we will
* return early without loading the comments.

Hi there,

That’s an entire file – it can’t be added to your functions.php file.

It needs to be saved as comments.php and added to your child theme root folder.

What exactly are you trying to adjust?

Let me know 🙂
