        * This is the most generic template file in a WordPress theme
        * and one of the two required files for a theme (the other being style.css).
        * It is used to display a page when nothing more specific matches a query.
        * E.g., it puts together the home page when no home.php file exists.

 * try and enable DEBUG to see if you get any erro messages – [http://codex.wordpress.org/Debugging_in_WordPress](http://codex.wordpress.org/Debugging_in_WordPress)
 * if you look into the html code as you see it in the browser with ‘View Source’
   or similar, does the code simply stop at the location of the excerpt?
 * what happens if you temporarily deactivate all plugins?
 * can you provide a live link to your site with the error visible?

 * to find out which plugin was causing the problem, re-activate one plugin at a
   time and test inbetween.
