Problem solved. Ages ago, to get rid of the default Home Page which the theme came with, which I seemed unable to edit or delete, I created a custom menu, which I hooked up with the pages I did want to display.

Somehow, I ended up with two copies of my real Home Page, one of which opened in Edit, the other when you first viewed the page. No idea how that came about, nor why the latter had pale grey text.

When I removed the Home Page from the menu, and then re-added it, I noticed a second Home Page lurking, identified by Home:Home.

Oh and I changed Settings -> Reading to display a Static page, for which I selected Home.

Doesn’t tell me <i>why</i> it happened, but it got rid of it, which is the main thing for me.

Thanks for trying to help.

I log in using an IP address, but I think I’m probably not authorised to tell you what it is! I don’t work directly for the organisation on whose server the website is hosted. Once the site goes live, which should happen any day now, then I could tell you the URL, but it doesn’t work yet.
I’ll email your last response to the web person and see what she says.
Thanks
Rob

I’ve tried it in Firefox, Chrome, Opera and IE8, all are the same. The guy who has to sign the site off as ready to go live can see it, and he sees the same problem.

If I knew where in the theme the problem might be, I could point the web specialist in the right direction to see if she could fix it.
