Strange numbers – 11111 – in header; can't get rid of 'em

You should look up your entire theme files, starting from header.php, functions.php, index.php .. and always press ctrl+f and search for 11111 ..

Thank you, Samuel.

I have already done it, and no luck. That’s why I am so puzzled about this.

Sorry to hear about that Sten.
Try to deactivate all of your plugins, then see if that number disappreas. If it does,find out which plugin is causing that, activate all, then desactivate one by one, and check with that strange number..

Can you also update your current theme? if possible, it may help.

I have deactivated all my plugins, and nothing changed.

My current theme is up to date.

Thank you!

There is a file named index.php in the root of your site, login to ftp, check it, maybe there hides the number..

Cpanel: cpanel.hankewitz.com then file manager, look for index.php…

It appears on all pages

Yes, it does. That’s why I presumed it has something to do with the header – but there is nothing in the actual header.php file.

@questas_admin If I understand you well, I meant the index.php file found in the root folder, not the theme index.php ( homepage )..

@sten, I edited my root index.php file, added a that strange number, and now it appears the same way you have it there. That’s why you may want to check that file, give it a try.

This is how the root index.php looks like:

<?php
/**
 * Front to the WordPress application. This file doesn't do anything, but loads
 * wp-blog-header.php which does and tells WordPress to load the theme.
 *
 * @package WordPress
 */

/**
 * Tells WordPress to load the WordPress theme and output it.
 *
 * @var bool
 */
define('WP_USE_THEMES', true);

/** Loads the WordPress Environment and Template */
require( dirname( __FILE__ ) . '/wp-blog-header.php' );

From what I see, there’s nothing there ??

I show the following error on the page(s) with the chrome inspector, You might want to investigate in your theme.

Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found) https://www.hankewitz.com/new_test/wp-content/themes/skeleton/images/border_top.png

Ok, one last process, change the theme, and say if that number disappears, then switch back..

Right, thanks for this. It appeared to be a remnant from when I was testing the theme.

I fixed it now, but the numbers remained.

Previewing the theme, there should be a blue border across the top right where 11111 is located.

Yep, it’s there now. The 11111 is now inside the blue border ??

You can’t hide that number with a blue colored image as a background. tell me if that number disappeared upon theme switching, Sten.
