Oh, such a newbie mistake. I assumed the editor put in a close tag. Sorry for all the hassle, Kathryn. Thanks for saving me from myself…

Argh. I renamed the existing parament folder as parament_old. Uploaded the zip via the link you sent me. Installed fine.

Seeing two paraments, I deleted “parement_old” and then just one showed up among available themes. I activated it: same thing, artifact problem as before. Shows up in the child theme too, perhaps needless to say.

Other ideas?

Thanks. I’ll dig into that.

Initially, I just chose the theme from with the comfort of the WordPress interface. I did install a couple others before deciding on Parament.

Hopefully the fresh install will fix the problem!

Where should it go?

Sounds good. I know how to get the zip file up, but I’m not sure where to put it, what existing files to delete if any, and how to get it to unzip/install…

I.e. newbie

I made the artifacts go away by making all the posts Draft, meaning not appear. So, of course, the artifacts appear when a post does! ??

Nope!

Also, I deleted even deactivated plugins. So there are no plugins installed at all.

I tested whether my widget, which is my HTML, was the problem, but the artifacts show up when the more default sidebars are used instead.

It’s only on the home page. So no artifacts for the About or other pages.

I created the child theme in hopes of escaping the artifacts in the parent theme.

I only created the child theme. I did not modify it. So the artifacts originate from the parent theme. I believe the parent theme needs to be fixed.

Thank you, Kathryn. I didn’t change the theme files and I wasn’t able to make the boxes go away by deactivating plug-ins. ??

I have created a child theme. Can I modify it to get rid of the extra boxes?

Thank you!
