Help needed to remove stray text on theme homepage

Hey guys, I’m new to WordPress and don’t understand coding. I’ve installed a theme “Cassiopeia” and customised it to suit our needs, all good.

BUT there’s some stray text on the home page and after many many attepts I just can’t seem to get rid of it, you can see it here

it the “sorry no search matched your criterior” just under the slider. Can anyone tell me how to get rid of it?

Thanks so much

try finding it on your home.php file or index.php file.

It seems like that area is supposed to display posts or a single post.

Hey thanks DD, I found this code in the “index” in the editor. I tried deleting the culprit text but then that made the whole site disappear. I got i back though. Would you be able to tell me what part of the code I need to delete? Or is there another thing I need to do?

Thanks so much

<?php endwhile; else: ?>

<?php _e(‘Sorry, no posts matched your criteria’, ‘framework’) ?> .

<?php endwhile; else: ?>
<?php _e(‘Sorry, no posts matched your criteria’, ‘framework’) ?>

You need to delete this lines:

<?php endwhile; else: ?>
<?php _e(‘Sorry, no posts matched your criteria’, ‘framework’) ?>

Just delete this line:

<?php _e(‘Sorry, no posts matched your criteria’, ‘framework’) ?> .

Thanks DD

No worries bud

Oh Jedi knight of coding…

dude, can I push the friendship and ask for one more piece of your extremely valuable advice (your last advice totally sorted my problem, mucho thanx!).

OK, I borrowed some code off another WP site and when inserted into this theme it works fine except for one problem – the image is now clickable but leads to ‘nowhere’. Here’s the code -

Q: what do I have to delete to remove the ‘linkability’ (shit, did I just invent a word? probs not). I’d love it just to be an image on my home page without a link to anything

Many many thanks for any assistance mate

From the code you’ve inserted remove this:

<a href="/video-production-faqs/">

and the ending:

</a>

Gina, you are the ‘She Jedi” of coding! All sorted, thankyou sooo much!!
