 * On my blog, [http://www.mydaily-gadget.com/](http://www.mydaily-gadget.com/),
   the latest posts were written in 3.0 As you can see, they have an extra // at
   the front and I do not know how to get rid of it. I downgraded but the problem
   still persists. What should i do?
 * I mention that the older posts ( those located at the bottom of the page ) do
   not have the same problem. They are OK.
 * P.S: I know this is from the_excerpt and not an index.php problem, because the
   slider above uses the same function and the // still appear.

 * Have you tried:
 * – deactivating **all** plugins to see if this resolves the problem? If this works,
   re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).
 * – switching to the default theme to rule out any theme-specific problems?
 * – [resetting the plugins folder](http://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_Troubleshooting#How_to_deactivate_all_plugins_when_not_able_to_access_the_administrative_menus.3F)
   by FTP or phpMyAdmin? Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause
   problems.

 * Did all of these, none worked. Please bare in mind that this problem only applies
   to the posts written before i updated to 3.0 and after the downgrade to 2.9.2.
 * My first posts are fine. So it’s a WP problem. Any other ideeas esmi?

 * Did you try switching theme to the default theme? On the actual pages (single.
   php) there is no “//” in the post. On the homepage (index.php) you have some 
   double image links like so: `<a><a><img /></a></a><p>// </p>` What do you use
   on the homepage to show the image in the posts?

 * i am using this plugin: [http://www.cnet.ro/wordpress/thumbnailforexcerpts/](http://www.cnet.ro/wordpress/thumbnailforexcerpts/)
 * It makes total sense what you say kees because i am getting some troubles here
   too: [http://bit.ly/bgfCpE](http://bit.ly/bgfCpE)
 * Do you have an idea on how to show images in excerpt without these errors?
 * I have tried disabling this plugin but it has no effect. I have also switched
   to other themes and it doesn’t work.

 * if you don’t want to upgrade to 3.0 you could try to repost or reinsert the images
   in the posts with”//” in them. And see if that works. Or search for a plugin 
   that is 3.0 ready. or something like [this](http://www.dynamicwp.net/articles-and-tutorials/quick-tip-make-a-post-automatic-excerpt-with-image-thumbnail-on-wordpress-2-9/)

 * Thanks kees. I deactivated the plugin and followed the instructions from your
   link. They worked. Thanks again, your a life savior.
