   Hi everyone. Got a problem with a WordPress site I set up as a favour for a friend. She logged on this morning and found that all the text on her site now had strikethrough through it. Not just one entry, but all of it. She swears blend she hasn't fiddled with anything. Anyone know what could be going on?

   Can we get a link to the site, so we can look at the markup?

   look at your source:

   <p align="left"><strike></strike>
   <p align="center"><strike><img id="image61" style="width: 386px; height: 280px;" alt="JAPANESE GARDEN" src="http://www.6downunder.com/wp-content/uploads/2006/07/JAPENESE%20GARDEN.jpg" height="280" width="386"> </strike>

   <p align="center"><strike>The Japanese Garden</strike>
   <p align="center"><strike> </strike>

   dont copy and paste into the editor. and check that post for a spare <del> or anything else odd

   Ah ok - blimey - is there anyway that could have been done inadvertently? Shall I just paste it into a text editor and kill all the <strike> tags?

   It probably WAS inadvertent - because someone pasted from a crap windows editor like word or wordpad or notepad. Don't DO that. If you're going to composite offline, download notepad2 from flos-freeware.ch - it doesn't throw any extraneous junk into your text.

   Yes, you need to delete the strike tagpairs. But NOT in anything with the words "windows" or "MS" in it!

   You're very welcome. Decent text editors are free.... if you don't cotton to notepad2, just google for "open source text editor" - or search on sourceforge.net.

   I have made the same mistake but my problem is that I don't know how to see the code of my posts. Help?

    oops! I finally got it! And it was an invisible strike code... I have been posting from MS Word... I should know better as a Mac user! Grateful for your comments. I found the path to light!
