  Hi there

  Doing my first basic theme and hitting a syntax error on two lines “<?php endwhile; ?>
  ” and “<?php else : ?>” could someone advise please

  <?php get_header(); ?>
  <?php if (have_posts()) ; ?>
  <?php while (have_posts()) ; the_post(); ?>
  <article <?php post_class() ?> id='post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
  	<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>

  Hi danielwaddon,

  This support forum is for blogs hosted at WordPress.com. Your question is specifically for a self-hosted installation of WordPress. You will need to seek help at https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates for theme help.

  Double check your code against this example.
