From home if I turn off my squid transparent proxy I do not get the errors anymore on any of the sites in either IE or firefox, turn it back on and problems appear again. So it’s a proxy issue for sure. * Not what I wanted to hear but at least it’s a way forward. Would be interested to know if those having issues are using proxies (squid?) and if going around them solves the issue for them? * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Mysterious text inserted when showing page](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/mysterious-text-inserted-when-showing-page/) * [guyvan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/guyvan/) * (@guyvan) * [19 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/mysterious-text-inserted-when-showing-page/#post-527742) * Same issue being discussed over [here](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/105807?replies=10) * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [Strange Numbers/Letters Appearing in Random Areas](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/strange-numbersletters-appearing-in-random-areas/) * [guyvan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/guyvan/) * (@guyvan) * [19 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/strange-numbersletters-appearing-in-random-areas/#post-522791) * Not everyone see’s the numbers. I can look at Performify’s site from work and not see them but look from home and see them. Same with my sites. * Work: Win xp with firefox 2.0.0.2 & IE6 Home: OS X with firefox 2.0.0.2 & PC with IE 6/7 * To me this suggests that it’s not browser related? Maybe it’s proxy or filter related?

Happens in firefox and ie6/7 but not safari. Removing the calls to posts from the theme index does seem to stop the numbers showing? This is on a fresh install of 2.1.2? * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [Strange Numbers/Letters Appearing in Random Areas](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/strange-numbersletters-appearing-in-random-areas/) * [guyvan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/guyvan/) * (@guyvan) * [19 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/strange-numbersletters-appearing-in-random-areas/#post-522788) * From further testing it seems to be related to the height of the page. If I put anything in the sidebars or post too many posts so that the page scrolls a lot the numbers show up. Delete the posts or sidebar content and they go away! * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [Strange Numbers/Letters Appearing in Random Areas](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/strange-numbersletters-appearing-in-random-areas/) * [guyvan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/guyvan/) * (@guyvan) * [19 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/strange-numbersletters-appearing-in-random-areas/#post-522787) * I’m seeing exactly the same thing with 2.1.2 and the tiga and WuCoco themes so far. Default doesn’t seem to have it. Numbers appear in the source. Always 4 letters or numbers before the opening html and a 0 at the end it seems. No plugins activated. Fresh 2.1.2 install. * ``` 21cb ``` * I’ve got a site using exactly the same theme, I copied it over form there, on a different server and it doesn’t have any problems on the original server but has these number on the new server? Numbers show up in IE6/7 and Firefox, not in Safari? * Any ideas, this is driving me mad! Viewing 9 replies - 1 through 9 (of 9 total)
