Hi, I really hope someone can help me, I was attempting to get google analytics and used the google analytics plugin to add the code however it did not work, however what it did do was add " />" /> " /> term above the title, which considering my site is three word press blogs rolled in to one makes it look pretty silly when you go to one of the other blogs which does not have it, take a look for yourself, http://www.itbloke.net, however try as I might I can't find the where the code for this is stored so I can edit it out, I would be ever so grateful if any of you chaps or chappettes out there could let me know, as I am really fed up with my site looking silly

did you try removing the plugin?
What version of Atahualpa and WP?

Hi, I am using Atahualpa 3.4.1 and Word Press, 2.8.6, I have deactivated the plugins, but that is not the problems the plugins are designed to add the Google analytics code to my word press installation and have done so, deleting them will not remove this code, you can see it at the top of my site and even see the added code when you view, the source code for my page: http://www.itbloke.net however when I come to edit the themes files I cannot find the code it looks like:

<style type="text/css">img.nothumb{border:0;}</style>

I can even the see the errors but cannot find out which file it is stored in, it is crazy all I want to do it delete a few simple line of code and I can't do it.

Anyway your reply is much appreciated I hope that, this information will give you a better idea of what my problem actually is, a simple exercise in code removal, or so I thought. LOL

Without looking deeper, I'd guess that the plugin stored some data in the wp-options table and that is where the code is. You should be able to switch to the default theme and if it is not Athahualpa related, then the problem will persist.

What is odd is if the plugin is disabled, tehn it should not be executing any code that would read it's options .

Try my first suggestion - swap to the default theme and see if the problem exists.

Have already swapped to the default theme and the problem, still persists, as anyone would expect it to as the code is in plain view, the plugin inserted the code somewhere a little bit deeper, it is crazy that you can see the code when you view the source code http://www.itbloke.net and then can't find it any where else,

Try removing the plugin entirely, and inserting the Google Analytics code manually into Atahualpa Theme Options -> Add HTML/CSS Inserts -> HTML Inserts: Body Bottom. Paste the javascript code that Google advises you to use in there. The code should look something like this (BUT NOT EXACTLY THIS, you need your own code from Google):

<script type="text/javascript">
var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ? "https://ssl." : "http://www.");
document.write(unescape("%3Cscript src='" + gaJsHost + "google-analytics.com/ga.js' type='text/javascript'%3E%3C/script%3E"));
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
try {
var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker("UA-xxxxxxxx-x");
pageTracker._trackPageview();
} catch(err) {}</script>

If removing the plugin doesn't get rid of the extraneous characters being displayed, you're going to have to figure out which file the plugin modified and replace it with the standard file from a fresh copy of Wordpress, barring that you'll at least have to replace the particular section of code it modified.
