Two Mark-Ups in Header Issue

  • I use Dreamweaver 8 and WordPress 2.0.4 and yesterday after checking/updating/unchecking/updating the “WordPress should correct invalidly nested XHTML automatically ” option (under the Writing section of options) two sets of <!DOCTYPES> appeared in my header both for the site and all the wordpress admin pages. The only real issue is my site is ignoring the proper page title which could be a problem for Google indexing. I’ve scoured the net with no idea. I think it may be a Dreamweaver bug, but it’s somehow affected WP admin pages I haven’t opened. So, I’m not sure. TIA for the help.

  • I remember DW users posting here that you should use it with WP only in code mode, never wysiwyg.

    I was editing in code mode only…

    This issue is also preventing me from posting. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    Did you check your header.php in a plain text editor? What is the code there?
    You seem to have non-WP stuff in your header file.

    It’s definitely DW generated. I just can’t figure out how/why it’s adding it to all my wordpress PHP files…

    I opened the PHP file in a plain text editor…code looks normal…

    One more reason NOT to use it when working on WP files. These “smart” programs always think they know better what you want. Use Notepad and you’ll be safe. (Or a decent text editor)

    I just don’t see how DW’s messed with every WP admin page. Should I open every WP page in a text editor, save, then upload with an FTP client? Somewhat baffled..

    How did you upload the WP files to the server? via FTP or…?

    Check the main WP directory’s index.php. Did DW add anything to it?

    Hah, I just came back to post something similar… but Handy was faster (and I am slow ??

    It’s clean. I even retyped it in text editor and uploaded it. No luck…

    Anyone using Dreamweaver 8 that has come across the above problem? I don’t know how, but the program’s inserted

    Thanks for any insight.

    I’ve searched every WordPress PHP file for some sort of code that’s putting the unnecessary double header on every page. Nothing…

    After a lot of searching and backtracking I found out the above code was nested in my Wp-Cache plugin config file causing it to appear in every PHP. Thanks though for your assistance.
