  Hi, since last week, this code started appearing in all my WordPress blogs.

  <div class=”entry-content”>
  <div class=”entry-content”>
  <div class=”entry-content”>
  <div class=”entry-content”>
  <div class=”entry-content”>
  <div class=”entry-content”>Ordre du jour:
  <ol start=”1″>

  If I remove the code (some or all), the entire homepage is shifted and the side bars are pushed down… If I leave it, it creates a huge gap between the article’s title and the article, which looks awful. Any thoughts on why this is happening all of the sudden after 6 years?

  Thanks for your help… Our school actually has a WordPress.org licence so I could switch, but I was quite happy with .com.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Are you copy/pasting from Word? If so, staff recently changed the way that works in part to prevent things like this.

  Go to Settings->Writing and make sure “WordPress should correct invalidly nested XHTML” is selected and saved. If it isn’t, select it, save, then go to Posts and select all, set them to private, then set them to Published again. That should prevent a recurrence.
