unwanted words above header

  • Hey Tony

    You will need to go to your theme’s header.php file and do a control find for the words “page contents” and remove it. Not sure how it got stuck there though.

    somebody or a plugin possibly added this into header.php of your theme:

    <html>
	<head>
		<meta name="msvalidate.01" content="8A7......7BC" />
		<title>Your SEO optimized title</title>
	</head>
	<body>
		page contents
	</body>
</html>

    remove it; and if you need, add this line back somewhere after the <head> tag:
    <meta name="msvalidate.01" content="8A7......7BC" />

    to find out if it is done by a plugin, temporarily deactivate all plugins; if that removes the words, reactivate one plugin at a time and check inbetween to locate the faulty plugin.

    Hi I couldn’t find the code in the header php so I deactivated the plugins and then reactivated them. I was alb to find the cause of the problem that way. The plugin that caused the problem was: ‘verify bing webmaster tools’

    Thanks again for your help with this problem. Now I need to find another plug to verify with Bing that doesn’t show on the page….

    any suggestions… ??

    without plugin, you could try to add this line <meta name="msvalidate.01" content="8A7......7BC" /> (with the correct numbers) directly into header.php of your theme, somewhere inbetween the <head> and </head> tags.

    or retry using the plugin, and add only the above mentioned one line into it.
