I just realized there is some random text popping up in mini-column on the Blog Page when I add a widget into the Center Homepage Column.......

You can see it here:

I don't know where that text "This is just a test......etc" - I don't know where that text is coming from - I can't figure it out......I don't think I messed with any core files - and I've put a new Elemental update in recently -- but is there somewhere that could be pulling that text from?

I've searched through the theme files on my side and there's nothing there showing this popping up so I don't know where this has come from, it's a strange thing to appear. Also I notice it mentions Jina.

I checked the html and it seems the top text is an h1 and the bottom text is a paragraph. h1's should only show for post titles so do you have a page/ post titles 'This is just a test. Does this do anything?'?

I can't find any post or page that has that text in it......Darren, do you have any idea where this text might be coming from? I have no idea......

You don't have something in your functions.php that's using a filter to hook into this column do you?

Ben - I wouldn't have any idea how to do that ;)

The only time that mysterious text shows up - is when i add that center column to the blog page.....otherwise, it's like it doesn't exist....

Are you certain that you don't have a text widget in one of the widget ares in WP admin panel? It both has an H1 and a p element.

On the other hand - it's not a widget. It's like text put directly into one of the php-files. Can you check these two files in the root of Elemental: pageTemplate_2ColumnWidgets and pageTemplate_2ColumnWidgetsCenterContent

Yup - those files are exactly fresh files downloaded from the ProThemeDesign.com website.

I'm perplexed to say the least....

...and if you delete the "Recent" widget it disapears?

Have you walked through all of the comments in WP to see if there's anything spookey there?

Hey Adam - did you work this out? I'd be really interested to know how it happened. It looks like you have just removed it for the time being?

No - I just had to not have that middle sidebar - even though I wanted to - but couldn't find where that text was anywhere...
