content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />

  • Hello,

    I admit my ignorance, but I just fiddled with the editor for header.php and now “content=”text/html; charset=UTF-8″ />” appears at the top of my website. I tried to add a meta tag for google analytics. Any suggestions on how I can rid my page of this? I thank you for any insight.

    Be well,
    cr23

    Thank you, Trinity13

    I’d suggest downloading a new copy of your theme to your local computer and then replacing the header.php file from that new version. Also, you should be using a Child Theme to make any changes to the theme files – otherwise all your changes will be overwritten when the theme is updated.

    Thank you, WPyogi. I now realize how I need to be very careful when altering that script, and I will keep the Child_Themes in mind when I possibly try to do this again. Generally, I will just use plugins from now on :). I have a copy of that header.php file, but I was wondering what program on Mac I should use to open it on my computer and then copy and paste the code to my editor. Be well and I thank you for your guidance.

    There are lots of text editor options – Macs come with TextEdit (look in Applications) – but it’s pretty limited. A really good free one is TextWrangler – https://www.barebones.com/products/textwrangler/ You’ll likely want more than the minimum at some point anyway, so installing that will be useful in the future as well.
