 * Nothing out of the ordinary here… let’s see your sidebar.php as well.
 * Other possibility: badly behaving plugins.

 * Have you tried:
 * – deactivating all plugins – except WP Super Cache – to see if this resolves 
   the problem? If this works, re-activate the other plugins one by one until you
   find the problematic plugin(s).
 * – switching to the default theme to rule out any theme-related problems?

 * disabled all the plugins, and didn’t work, change to the classic theme and it
   works
 * its an error in my coding somewhere

 * In that case, we need to see either page.php or the custom page template that
   is used by your home page. That may well be where the error is.

 * the page.php and single.php has the same code as the index.php
