Hi,

I had someone that collaborated with me on my store and has incorrectly added this coding somewhere as it is appearing at the top of my website- Is anyone able to assist with removing this? See screenshot below

This is an accepted solution.

I found the issue.

Go to code editor and edit theme.liquid.

On line three you'll find "<>" but do not delete it, add "head" to it.

and it should look like this.

This will solve the problem. The developer left the <head> tag incomplete.

I'm not entirely sure, but looking at it from my end, it looks like it is in the file named "theme.liquid" inside the Layouts folder.

Hi @RC94 

Go to Online store > Click the 3dots > theme.liqudi file > find this one. 

Same on the image below.

Or it may be also on this side.

Remove the <> and save. 

Just find this sign that display on your live theme.

Can you check your theme.liquid file. I'm looking at your page source and want to make sure it looks the same.

If so the <head> tag is incorrect and there is an extra ">" on line 9 that needs to be deleted.
