 * Delete the header file and restore the original one.

 * I did that…I even restored the original header w/ the thesis theme. I’m guessing
   there was some modification done on header by a support person that I was unaware
   of.

 * Thanks…I’ve tried that as well, somehow they’ve lost my registration to login
   and I’m not getting a response for new username/passcode.

 * Not being unfriendly here janderso0888 but thesis theme has custom codes and 
   features plus child themes which I will not see because I don’t buy themes, I
   create my own. Do check out the forum link I gave you though, I saw a cross-site
   security advisory under trouble shooting thread which you need to correct in 
   search.php or another file.
