–> appears on the page as it was typed in some of your theme files out side tags. It could have come their while editing the theme files, or because of old corrupt files.
You run an old version of WordPress. You need to update it. Other wise, you can face other problems while trying to remove the said characters.
So, update WP first.
html body.page div.container div.container-inner div.span-24 div.content div#post-468.post-468 div#ngg-gallery-1-468.ngg-galleryoverview
Its just under above in css.Probably a remnant of a html comment,though what is was doing there?? See div class=container-inner
Thanks Krishna, I’ve now updated WP. What should I do now? Would it be specifically in the NextGen Gallery plugin theme files or in Modularity Lite theme files?
Thanks loughcorrib, saw your reply after I replied to Krishna. OK will check there….
loughcorrib should I be looking in NextGen plugin css? Can’t find it in nggallery.css. And I cannot find it in my style.css. Any ideas? Thanks very much for your help so far!
Generally this type of orphan characters are difficult to locate. There are two similar cases reported in the last few days. I will locate and post them here.
Now tell me, did you change the original theme, or did you create a child theme of it?
I have created a child theme.
Look at this link:

If you created the child theme, you can easily replace your parent theme without losing your customization. Try that. Let us see if that solves the problem.
Thanks, I’ve read the link. Do you think ‘–>’ is in the parent theme as opposed to the NextGen gallery plugin as it is right in the middle of my Nextgen thumbnails that it appears?
To replace my parent theme do I just delete it and reinstall it? That’s it?
I should add that it has only just appeared, when I changed my thumbnails to be a 3 column and not a 4 and changed their size. It wasn’t there before that.
Yes, just delete and reinstall the Modularity Lite with a freshly downloaded copy.
I have deleted Modularity Lite and reinstalled it and then reactivated my Mod Child theme and –> is still there. Thinking it’s the nextgen plugin???
Generally, theme developers also update their themes to function well with the latest version of WP. So, it is not a bad idea to reinstall it. If that does not make any change, the next step is to check your own child theme. Pl do that, after that I will tell you where it can be. It takes a little time.
Possibly your guess is right (though not surely). If you use Firebug, you can see it between two lines of NextGen plugin codes.
