What are common causes of PHP parsing errors in Wordpress themes?

Common causes of PHP parsing errors in WordPress themes include missing semicolons, mismatched parentheses or brackets, and syntax errors such as typos or incorrect function names. To solve this issue, carefully review the PHP code in your theme files to identify and correct any errors.

// Example of a PHP code snippet with missing semicolon causing a parsing error
$variable = "Hello"
echo $variable;
// Corrected code with semicolon added
$variable = "Hello";
echo $variable;
