Strange type at the bottom of my site

    The following text is showing up at the bottom of my blog’s page (www.jasondbarr.com):

    p-blog-header.php which does and tells WordPress to load the theme. * * @package WordPress */ /** * Tells WordPress to load the WordPress theme and output it. * * @var bool */ define(‘WP_USE_THEMES’, true); /** Loads the WordPress Environment and Template */ require(‘./wp-blog-header.php’); ?>

    I’m pretty much a n00b, but I’m not afraid to try stuff, which may be the source of this error (ie I screwed up something and don’t remember doing it). This doesn’t seem to have anything to do with the theme template I’m using, because it’s present when I change themes. Looks to my untrained eye like I botched something up in one of the php files, but I wouldn’t for the life of me know which one (I know when I’m in over my head, and I don’t mess with those).

    Anyway, this text seems to be causing an XML parsing error on the RSS feed, which is why I’d like to resolve it. Any thoughts? I’d really appreciate any input you can provide.

  • youre echoing back parts of the index.php. did you edit it? If so you need to check your edits, make corrected ones to a new unedited index.php and upload that one, replacing the one on the server.

    If not, then you need to upload a fresh unedited one. it might also be worthwhile to open that file up and compare it to unedited one — just so you can see the diff.

    Dont upload a theme index.php, dont copy a theme index.php — the one that is the problem is the one in the same dir as your wp-config.php and its completely different that any other index.php that is included in the wordpress distribution.

    Thanks for the answer. I’m sure you’re right; I don’t remember having edited the index.php. It may have gotten corrupted when I did the long overdue upgrade to 2.7 from 2.5 (?). Unfortunately, I’ve deleted all my backups, so I don’t have a fresh index.php. Where would I go about getting one so I can see the differences and correct the issue? Again, I am pretty inexperienced, so sorry if this is a dumb question. Thanks again.
