 * Hello,
 * Haven’t worked on this site in a while, when I returned to it there was code 
   instead of the usual visual editor framework.
 * Troubleshooting steps taken:
    -switched to Twenty Twelve theme -updated to latest
   WP version after updating all plugins -deactivated all plugins -cleared browser
   cache
 * I deactivated the Coming Soon plugin to make this visible:
    warsoncustomframing.

 * I’m seeing a lot of shortcodes. These require either a theme or plugin to convert
   them to something useful.
 * “et” indicates maybe “elegant themes”?

 * Thank you for replying. The code was there before I switched themes to test a
   theme malfunction. But, I bet you’re right because I may have been looking at
   a cached version of my site at some point. I’ll delete the affected pages to 
   test your idea.
