Does the issue persist with all plugins deactivated?
Yes, all deactivated now and persists…

Not really! A custom 404?

Has someone else been working on your website? That code was found at the bottom of your WordPress page.
Hmmm, so it is. No idea where that’s come from. It’s my wife’s site but she won’t have done much other than the odd plugin…

Try activating the parent theme and see if the problem goes away (if it’s specific to your child theme)
Yeah tried that and it persists, link colour and 404 gubbins. Has Expound been updated recently?

The theme’s demo doesn’t have your issue: http://wp-themes.com/expound
I think I’ve pointed out the code that’s causing the issue. If you’ve not made any changes to the parent theme (ever) then you can just replace a fresh copy of that theme from WordPress.org.
