Content of easy edit blocks: Even when this was the default text that came with this, it still happened, so the content of this is not the problem. also several other people have had this problem, and they posted a screen shot, and you can see they still had the default text displayed.

Hopefully someone will know a fix for this shortly, as my site looks very tacky currently. thanks.



Edit:

i installed a new skin, kept it 100% clean fully reverted. and it works.

i then tried disabling products and seeing if any of those interfed, and they dont.

I then saved the contents of my navbar template and then reverted it, and it works.

so it is the contents of the navbar template that is causing problems.

i then tried putting the contents back into the clean navbar template 1 by 1 and seeing which parts affected the code. i found out that several parts affect it and those parts are fairly common on lots of sites, because they are popular hacks.

contents of my navbar template:

<if condition="is_array($navbits)">

$welcomeheaders

The problem with this hack working on many boards resides in the navbar template. i really want to use this awesome hack, so i hope the information i have posted helps someone hopefully find a solution to fixing this.

thanks.

It's this bit thats killing it

 <if condition="is_array($navbits)">
<h2>$navbits[lastelement]</h2>
<else />
<h2>$vboptions[bbtitle] & Entertainment Needs!</h2>
</if>
<!--VBSEO_RR_1--></td>

That is such bad code that isn't even correct html that this is causing the problem. If this code has been provided by vBSEO then you need to start complaining to them. Run your site through http://validator.w3.org There is no way on earth it will validate with that code and unless it is removed or fixed it will kill this modification along with a lot of other modifications.

(Hint: for those who can't be bothered to get the problem code fixed, just remove the </td> from the end of it.)
