* 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](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](http://pastebin.com) and give us the links.

* When viewing the source it’s not only a head section, it’s an entire (empty)
html file:
` Untitled Document
* 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 ``. You need only one of them,
preferably in header.php.
