Corrupt theme or incompatible plugin.

Turn off all plugins - did the problem go away?
If not, switch theme and re-upload it.

Thanks

Sounds like a tables issue. Could be a conflict with my sql or it could just be the theme you installed.

Could just have missing strings or files or maybe the file could be corrupt

Cant really say until i see the site

Thanks

  Hello Sylviane
  
  Looks like you tried editing the header and the table for the background is still showing.
  
  Have you tried going into your editor in your wordpress appearances and try editing the template

If you look at the page source, you can see this:
</head>
INCLUDE_DATA
<body class="home">
which is not legit HTML, so I'm with wiseleo, you have plugins/themes that are not playing well. Disable them one-by-one until you see the problem disappear. Then you will have your culprit.

The blue background is your theme. Try changing the theme settings or uploading a different theme. I don't think it is ugly. I kinda like it, but then I like blue.

Your site is pretty slow. I would think that is penalizing you in the serps since that is a very big factor in seo. Might want to consider changing your hosting.

Thanks

Hey Marcdonovan

I would normally agree with that but i have been given the same advice when this happened to me and it was the wrong advice.

Sometimes when you install plugins it misplaces php code so disabling the plugin might not even work.

I had to actually go into the code itself and fix the line breaks.

You have to remember wordpress themes are not set up the same as an actual html site.

Database reacts funny with alot of code and plugins

Thanks

This post says you have probably been hacked. I would compare your header.php file with a copy from a fresh install.

One link on the bottom of that page shows the lengths hackers will go through to keep you hacked. Wipe clean and redo is the best, but this time, put the following lines in your .htaccess file:

<Directory "(blog path on server)/wp-admin">
RewriteEngine On
AllowOverride FileInfo Limit Options Indexes
Options FollowSymLinks
</Directory>

<Files wp-login.php>
Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
Allow from (your ip or dynamic dns name here)
</Files>

I use a free dynamic dns company so when my isp changes my ip, all I have to do is update the dynamic dns.

No, the blue is not part of the theme. I've had that theme a long time, and the background is white. I was actually able to take it off, but it reapeared on its own.

thanks for your feedbacks though and I am going to try to unload and re- upload the theme.

It's fast now. Probably my isp, so disregard the slow.

BTW, I hate popups. Your site has a rather annoying one. Might want to program that so it only pops once, or better yet, never.

You got me curious about WP security and I found a pretty good article on how to beef it up. His advice is way better than my own.

LOL, if you don't have a pop up, then you are probably not building a list. My pop up is to offer something FREE and if people don't want it, well they just close. Very simple.

  I personally love hostgator. I never had a problem with my servers being slow.
  
  All my sites are on hostgator and never had issues.
  
  I would think with them being one of the top 10 hosting companies out there i would of heard complaints about there servers

  I repeat, my slow report was my ISP. I checked other sites and they were all slow, so disregard my slow report.
  
  In order to remove that INCLUDE_DATA, you need to edit your header.php in the theme directory that you have selected in your admin panel. You will find it in there after the /header tag at the very bottom. You could also just upload a new copy of your theme. This will overwrite your header.php file.
  
  BUT! you need to heed what I posted before, you have probably been hacked. The best way to fix this is to start over and follow all of the directions in the link I posted. You cannot find all of the backdoors that these guys leave, so you are faced with wipe and redo the right way. You don't have link spam now, but $20 wager you will soon when they come visit you.

Hello,

Sylviane

Don't get mad about people not liking pop ups. We don't like them... that is why most browsers have pop up blockers built in, then us marketing people find ways to beat the blockers.... and again we hate pop ups.

Your pop up pops at the wrong time... allow people time before you jam a pop up in their face. I'm trying to read your site and bam it got in my way what did I do... close it.

I read a little of your site i like I'm ready to sign up but now I can't.

I like the blue also just get rid of the html code at top will look ok then make that silver text white.

Richard

Thanks

All right. Thanks for you insight. I will take note. As for the blue background, no this has to go. It really does look better in white, but I guess it's a matter of taste.

What happens is that I was able to delete ALL the themes that I had there, but there are NO option to delete the last one, which would be the them that is seen now. What would be the best way to be able to delete this theme (if at all possible)? So, I could then re upload it.

Two options that I'm sure will work ...

1. Install a different theme, activate it, then delete delete the theme with issues.

2. Install Single Click Plugin Updater. It allows you to install a theme over itself. I love it because when I'm developing themes, I don't have to switch around to reinstall a theme.

Th obvious answer is FTP. I just don't get it why nobody thinks of it

And for that text appearing in all themes - check the index.php in the root directory of your WP install.

I had these small scripting errors before. I know your with hostgator so just call them up and tell them your problem. I did the same with my blog and I'm with bluehost, they took care of the problem right away.
