Extra code above header?

    Hey all,
    I’m new here. And to wordpress. But I LOVE IT. LOVE IT. Serious props to everyone who has contributed.

    I’ve been working on a site
    http://www.cbcjunkie.org/main
    But have now run into a problem I can’t fugure out.

    First, I was having trouble getting a title to show up (the one Firefox displays on its top bar). So I checked ‘view > page source’ and it looks like wordpress is producing extra code above the header.php.

    I’ve been messing with the “basic” wordpress template something fierce but I’m sure I can’t tell where the code is coming from (not in header.php or index.php). Any thoughts?

    I’m running the most current version of WP.

    It seems that you did the template files wrongly as I can see two “head” sections. Cross check with the Default Theme as to what goes to “header.php”, to “index.php” and to “footer.php.”

    thanks alphaoide. Ya I saw the two “head” sections and I don’t know where the 1st one is comming from.

    It’s not in the header.php or the index.php. And I’m not actually using the footer. It just seems crazy: could you clarify what you mean by “check with the Default Theme”? thx

    “check with the Default Theme”
    Wordpress comes with two themes: Default and Classic. They should be under the Presentation menu

    I just tried copying the Default Theme’s header.php file into my header.php (minus the css). It still produces the extra “head” code when I “view source” on my hompage.

    Any other ideas where it might be coming from?

    Paste your header.php, index.php, and footer.php separately on the following site: http://pastebin.com and give us the links.

    index.php: http://pastebin.com/308367

    footer.php: http://pastebin.com/308365

    Here they are all in one: http://pastebin.com/308364

    When viewing the source it’s not only a head section, it’s an entire (empty) html file:
    <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
    <html>
    <head>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
    <title>Untitled Document</title>
    </head>
    <body>
    </body>
    </html>

    Is it something related to your host? Or do you have something else in your theme folder than the necessary template files?

    In both header.php and index.php, you have <body>. You need only one of them, preferably in header.php.
