Wordpress site now has " /> symbols at top of page

Hi, all

I have a site using wordpress with Suffusion as the theme and overnight the symbols " /> have mysteriously appeared at the top left of every page/post! I haven't touched the code and wouldn't dare, so does anyone have any idea how to get rid of it?

The site is Dream Body Six Pack

Thanks in advance.

David.

    Just wondering did you perhaps you miss this yesterday?
    Did you run an upgrade since? That could have caused an issue.

        hi dreambody,

        if you can upload the header.php file to some place from where ic an download it then it will be easy for me to check.

        basically in the header.php file you will find something like

        PHP Code:
        <body <?php body_class(); ?>
        to
        PHP Code:
        <body <?php body_class(); ?>>
        hope this helps to solve your problem. if you are not able to find it then you can PM me and try to solve your problem.

          Look at line 54 of the source for the page Dream Body Six Pack and you'll see the following line which is the problem:


          HTML Code:
          <meta name="y_key" content="<META name="y_key" content="5476a6f72a0dd46d" />" />
          What you've got is a meta tag inside of a meta tag. Remove or fix that so it looks like the following and everything will display correctly on your web site.


          HTML Code:
          <meta name="y_key" content="5476a6f72a0dd46d" />

          :)

            Thanks for that but just one more question - where do I go to change it?!

    Sorry for not getting back to you...

    I suspect that you're using a plugin to insert the Yahoo! site verification code. If you are, then do one of the following:
    • Disable the plugin that you're using to verify your site with Yahoo! Then clear your browser's cache and reload the page.
    • Check in the plugin's configuration that you've entered only 5476a6f72a0dd46d and not <META name=\"y_key\" content=\"5476a6f72a0dd46d\" />. Then clear your browser's cache and reload the page.

      I don't know how you knew it was to do with my Yahoo plugin but I haven't got round to setting it up properly yet so it had <META name= entered and nothing else. Don't know how this happened but I've deleted it and the " /> has now disappeared

      Thanks!
