Thanks. I feel like such a looser but I know I did not do this. This has been a problem from the start. its like when wordpress originally uploaded it uploaded 2 on top of each other. so I will deactivate the plugins and make copies of pages because I am afraid backups will still have duplications. change themes again which I have done numerous times to no avail. Last resort is to start all over somehow. This website is not important enough to hire someone.
