Why is there random code appearing above my website header?

Topic summary

A user is experiencing an issue where random code appears above their website header. Upon examination, the provided Liquid code reveals that a significant portion of CSS variables and styling rules are displayed in reverse (mirrored text).

Key observations:

  • The reversed code includes CSS custom properties for grid spacing, section spacing, shadow effects, border properties, and popup/card styling
  • Variables like --grid-desktop-vertical-spacing, --reward-shadow-blur, and --popup-corner-radius appear backwards
  • The malformed code is embedded within the <head> section of the theme file

Current status:

  • Another user has requested the store URL and a screenshot to investigate further
  • The original poster provided their store URL (savageattitudethreads.com) and mentioned discovering this issue when attempting to make the site live
  • The site has not been launched yet due to this problem

Likely cause: The reversed text suggests either a file encoding issue, corrupted theme file, or accidental text manipulation during editing.

Hey @savageattitude ,

Can I have the store URL, and a screenshot of what you are seeing?
