Content of All Pages Selectively Does Not Show

    Hello there. I need some expert help, and searching for this topic is difficult and seems to be fruitless.

    My website is https://unicornparade.net, and the issue is that the main content of all my pages do not show up in certain mediums.

    Specifically, I have one report of it not showing on Safari and Firefox while running on a Mac, and my own personal instances of it not showing on my default Android 2.3.7 browser and Dolphin Browser HD on my phone- most all Android devices.

    As more information, it finally displayed properly on Chrome for the first Mac instance, and my friend’s Android 4.0 stock browser displays it properly.

    Unfortunately these are the only instances where it does not work, but still significant to be of concern. When the “content does not show up,” it is always in the same way. The designs for my site appear fine – the header, footer, and main background appear, but the contents of the page (so therefore the white div and sidebar as well) do not show, like so:
    https://dl.dropbox.com/u/43342686/screenshot-1331935854883.png

    It was the identical-looking issue on the Mac. However, a source code grab from that Mac showed that all the content code was there on the page, just not displaying.

    Does anybody have any idea what could be going on? I feel like WordPress is not being liked in certain instances.

    Thank you for any help!

  • Dashboard, settings, reading . . . Encoding for pages and feeds would normally be UTF-8

    Hmmm that seemed promising, but mine is still UTF-8.

    And this reminded me that it is not just pages related to the WordPress blog directly, but my own personal PHP pages that I created and merely imported WordPress functionality into.

    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 Twenty Eleven theme to rule out any theme-specific problems.
    – resetting the plugins folder by FTP or PhpMyAdmin. Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause problems.

    Deactivating all the plugins did nothing, and normally all my installed plugins are activated.

    However, when I switch to Twenty Eleven, the blog content shows up, but as probably expected my own personal pages are not found.

    The implications are disconcerting haha. Thank you for your help.

    Do you happen to know how I might go about figuring out the issue with my code? ??

    There are a lot of validation errors. However, since you have problems with the html in the beginning of the code they don’t show in the validator because the validator stops. Here is where you can validate code, https://validator.w3.org

    You can do a quick site check here also, https://ismyblogworking.com/unicornparade.net

    The issues in the first lines of code are probably why it is being seen different by different browsers.

    This link, https://pastebin.com/6cg80wQ3, will has both your code and corrected code for your doctype. Give this a try, fix as many validation errors as possible and see how it goes.

    Thank you so very much for your help! Fixing the doctype declaration at the top immediately fixed it for my phone browsers. I’ve sent a message to the person with the errors and it should most likely work.

    I’ve gone and fixed as manyof the other errors as I could in this one sitting on the index page, which pretty much just consisted of my disregarding XHTML standards.

    A lot of the remaining errors on the index page are involved in URL generation for sharing through social media, so I’ve left them untouched for now.

    Once again, I can’t express my gratitude enough haha. Guess I’m still learning my way around.
