    You'll see here in my website in the footer I have a random comma at the bottom of my footer and I see that it's positioned in the header scripts? See screenshot below.

    It looks like I have a random comma in my header scripts however where can I go to find this in the theme/functions. I also looked through the functions file to see if there were any extra commas that had been accidentally placed there but no luck...

    Is there somewhere I can look to see where this comma is coming from?

    Hi Amber,

    Let's start with seeing if there are any scripts loaded into the wp_footer() script box in Genesis > Theme Settings. Within your wp-admin area, go to this settings page and then scroll down to the very bottom. If you have some scripts loaded there, look for a comma after a </script> closing tag.

    Cheers,
    Tonya

    That's for the reply Tonya. I've checked, I have nothing in either of these boxes.

    Oh darn, as that was an easy fix.

    The next step is to disable all of your plugins and see if the problem goes away. If yes, then one of the plugins is introducing the issue. To find out which one, re-enable each plugin one-at-time and then check if it reappears; if yes, then that is the plugin causing it.

    Let's say none of the plugins are causing, now it becomes a bit more challenging, as the problem then lies typically within the code somewhere.

    Hmm..it looks like it's coming form my Social Media Buttons Widget plugin. I've look at the scripts to see if there is an extra comma however I'm not familiar with these kinda of scripts and where there should be a comma and where there shouldn't be. I'll just have to use a different plugin.

    Thanks for helping me find where it was coming from!
