 * Can anyone help me please?
    Not sure what I’ve done but my website seems to have
   stopped working on IE9 🙁 It has all been working fine (I usually use Firefox
   on a Mac) but this morning as I was doing some work on it it started playing 
   up a little, so I logged onto a Window’s PC and checked it in IE and its all 
   messed up. Here is an image of what it looks like on the Mac (and how it’s supposed
   to look)[Mac](http://jojofield.com/Mac.png) And here’s an image of what it looks
   like on IE this morning [IE](http://jojofield.com/site.png) Also, in IE I logged
   into the admin section and that was all messed up as well, here’s a screen grab
   of the plugins page [plugins](http://jojofield.com/plugins.png) I’ve tried deactivating
   all of the plugins but this didn’t fix the problems. I haven’t changed the theme
   at all recently so can’t see that it’s that. Could anyone help me please, I feel
   like crying! :,( Many, Many thanks Jo

 * Look at lines 1 – 12.
    Did you accidentally put that stuff there?
 * Line 1 should read:
 *     ```
       <!DOCTYPE html>
       ```

 * No I didn’t! EEEKK!
    Is that likely to be something dodgy in a script that’s 
   put that there? Will try deleting it now Thank You !

 * Try deactivating plugins to explore whether any could be responsible.

 * I did try that first thing but it didn’t seem to fix the site at all even disabling
   all plugins.
 * I can’t work out how to find that code to remove it, which file do I need to 
   edit please?

 * I understand you did that first, but we’re trying to narrow down what’s causing
   the code to insert into lines 1 – 12, not just trying to fix the site in general.

 * Ah okay, so basically deactivate plugins one at a time to see when that bit of
   code disappears.
 * Sorry for not understanding 🙁

 * Okay I’ve been through and deactivated each plugin one at a time, checking the
   source code after each one to see if that code disappears but even when I had
   deactivated every plugin so none were turned on at all the coding was still there.
 * Are you able to suggest what I should try next please?
 * Many thanks

 * This is the code from the original header.php file [http://themes.svn.wordpress.org/twentytwelve/1.1.1/header.php](http://themes.svn.wordpress.org/twentytwelve/1.1.1/header.php)
 * Can you replace your current header.php file’s content with that code?

   still there
