Hello,
The first post of a new blog I'm starting has a glitch that the rest of my posts don't have.. I'm fairly new at this, so I'm hoping someone can try to explain exactly where I can fix the problem.
For some reason, the title "BLAST-OFF" shows up as the first two words in the actual <em>body</em> my post with a strange "">" after the last letter as seen [[LINK href="http://img.skitch.com/20100602-bwj5uxrg7x3p5enp1rwtta35b3.jpg"]]HERE[[/LINK]].
But you can see on the back-end that the words "BLAST OFF" shouldn't even be in the <em>body</em> of the post at all: ([[LINK href="http://img.skitch.com/20100602-q2hpxid5ur7u7898rma91cct87.jpg"]]screenshot[[/LINK]])
Does anyone know how I can remove that??
The blog is [[LINK href="http://antagonismblog.com"]]http://antagonismblog.com[[/LINK]]

Dear Ant Lively,
Edit your theme index.php or home.php (If you don't have single.php, then it'll be home.php if you have single.php then open index.php ) find
find the <?php the_title(); ?> and delete more "> from there.
or you can send your index.php or home.php codes here. I can show you.
Best regards,

Thanks Rashad. I think you've correctly identified the issue here.. But it looks like you need to see the actual code. Your suggestion came close, but doesn't quite fix the issue yet..

Ant Lively comments:
Also note that the all of the other posts are just fine..
There only differences between this "Blast-Off" post and the others are that
A) it is the only one categorized as "Featured" and
B) it is the first post of the blog
Not sure if that helps, but just in case..
Thanks!!
Andrzej answers:
hey, can you send me a link to the page by private message?
Andrzej comments:
Ok, I think this is it:
Looks like there is some inproper markup in the link for this image http://nbm.im/2010-06-02_0903.png
Here's what you do:
- Switch to HTML edit: http://nbm.im/2010-06-02_0903.png
- Find:
<a href="http://www.antagonismblog.com/2010/05/blast-off-4/" title="<span class="caps">BLAST-OFF</span>"><img width="185" height="185" src="http://www.antagonismblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/moon_600x600-185x185.jpg" class="attachment-thumbnail" alt="" title="moon_600x600" /></a>
- Error is exactly in here: <a href="http://www.antagonismblog.com/2010/05/blast-off-4/" title="<span class="caps">BLAST-OFF</span>">
There is a [SPAN] tag inside TITLE parameter
just change to:
<a href="http://www.antagonismblog.com/2010/05/blast-off-4/" title="BLAST-OFF">
should be all
Andrzej comments:
this is the second link btw for HTML edit http://nbm.im/2010-06-02_0903_001.png
Taeke Reijenga answers:
Please submit an URL, there could be hundreds of reasons but it will be easier for us to see what the actual source code looks like
Monster Coder answers:
It is coding error. In the source code you must have put extra ">.
Assume this is the code:
<h2><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
but may be you wrote:
<h2><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?>"></a></h2>
please notice:
">
just after
<?php the_title(); ?>
Monster Coder comments:
after checking the link, I see there are some problem in <a> tag's attributes.
<a href="http://www.antagonismblog.com/2010/05/blast-off-4/" title="<span class=" caps="">BLAST-OFF">
it is not correctly formed.
Michael Fields answers:
It looks like the is a small error in your html/php mix. Not sure which file is causing this without a link to your site, but it is most likely home.php or index.php. A couple questions:
Does this only happen on the homepage + archives pages?
Does this happen in single views?
Which theme are you using?
Best,
-Mike
Monit Jadhav answers:
Hi there
There is a small generated code there. <strong>"></strong> This is what is causing the trouble. Something wrong with the image tag.
Will post a solution shortly

Kazi Shaiduzzaman answers:
well, it seems that in your title have this
<span class="caps">BLAST-OFF</span>
it may be solved if you edit this post title with just BLAST-OFF from wp-admin.
Thank you
Kazi Shaiduzzaman comments:
Have you got the point or need more assistance from me
Thank you
Kazi Shaiduzzaman comments:
When you mouse over on the BLAST-OFF title link you will see mouse over title "Permalink to <span class="caps">BLAST-OFF</span>"... so you just need to edit the title with just BLAST-OFF
