 * Really stuck!!!! Yesterday everything fine. Today we log in – go to Appearance–
   Editor – then click on any of the Templates on the right hand bar. Everything
   is different than yesterday. Shows as what I think is .php language I have copied
   and pasted what comes up (below). Please PLEASE can someone help. Thanks!

 * Looks like base 64 code, though I have not checked. Can you post your site URL?
