all of a sudden, at the top of my site there is a line of text which says:
INCLUDE_DATA
it's not been there before - and I've touched nothing (honestly)
any ideas???

Have you tried:
- deactivating all plugins to see if this resolves the problem? If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).
- switching to the default theme to rule out any theme-related problems?
OK - here's what I did.
checked all plugins one by one - no change
I use the default theme so I switch to Classic - problem goes away (of course so does all my styling)
I switch back
I upgrade to 2.9.1 - problem persists
If I check the source code on the page I can sse this line of text - it's right there after the end tag of the head section.
How did it get there? I have no idea...
I also have no idea where to go in my theme files to edit this line out.... any pointers would be most welcome - I look at the various files in the theme editor and I can't see where the head section is generated... (?)
// </style>
</head>INCLUDE_DATA
<body>
<div id="page">
//
this is the source code from the page....
Have a look at your header.php file.
Anything suspicious looking there? If you've not changed anything, well...
and there it was!
//
<?php wp_head(); ?>
</head>INCLUDE_DATA
<body>
<div id="page">
//
I have no idea where that came from - but I've deleted it and we're back to normal...
curious
thank you for that - I had not looked at the header.php since I had thought that it was for the header area only
Someone wrote on the wordpress.com site that they suspect that the pages are hacked: http://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/possible-hijacked-pages
I'm curious to know if anyone has any more information on the origin of this issue.
I came across the INCLUDE_DATA message on one website for a friend two days ago, glad for the tips on this post about header.php because I could edit out the hacked changes, one thing though, I had 400 links embedded into the site linking to http://word.op.org/ all movie downloads, anyone else had this? Is it a problem with the theme, WordPress or ISP? I'm up to date with allplugins and WP version.
I came across the INCLUDE_DATA message
the site has been hacked

you will need to do more than just remove code from header
