The home page is broken. It’s the best way I can explain it. I recently had a similar problem with the sidebar that I received help on so I tried to find the problem the same was Ninjalead did, however I cannot find the cause. Please help.

As before, I have not done anything with style sheets or other files. I am just posting articles.

Thank you!

Edit: I just noticed that sl-r is no where to be found.

Hello,

Can you please let me know what was the last thing you changed on your website ?
Looks like there’s some kind of unwanted code, like codes from winword or something

Regards

Pascm,

I’ve only added articles. Most articles are copied and pasted from Word.

Ususally that’s the problem, you need to run through your articles and remove unwanted html code from word.
That should fix your problem.

Let me know how that goes.

I understand what you are saying. I just want to mention that I’ve been loading articles from Word for over 2 years. Did something change? I’m just trying to understand so I don’t take up more of your time than I need to. I looked through all the articles that were posted for today (because yesterday the site displayed properly) and I am not seeing any code other than <p>,<span>, and the like. I also am not seeing any tags that are left open.

Hello,

Just check the article i just unpublished and you will understand, also now your frontpage is back to normal.

Edit: I suggest that after creating a backup of your site, run some updates

Thank you for tracking that down. I am looking at that article. Is it because of all of the divs? Is the fix to strip all characters out with a text editor and re-publish?

Yeap!
You can use an editor like Notepad++ and then copy and paste from Notepad++ to your site. (or type the article directly to your Joomla editor).

Thanks for saying that! It’s like you already did!

By the way, I advice you to update all scripts you have installed!

When I updated the core in my development server it broke the site so I have been hesitant to do the core update live.
