# Removing visible code from a single post

 * Hi,
 * I have a custom theme I had built for me, for which all the content is built 
   around pages. I need to add a singular post, however when I do, I get a header
   titled ‘My freestyle blog’ and an image of a group of people at the top of the
   page – accompanied by a butterfly image on the left hand side of the page.
 * After a lot of looking around for a solution I found that by editing the single.
   post.php I could eradicate the image, however now have the text [http://plma.com.au/wp-content/themes/PLMA/](http://plma.com.au/wp-content/themes/PLMA/)
   appearing at the top of the page. I am assuming this is because I have deleted
   something that is related to the theme, however am not sure how to remove it.
   I am reluctant to revert back to the original code given it contains the ‘my 
   freestyle blog’stuff on it!
 * Below is the code on the page that is throwing this error, and I have also below
   that paste the original code for reference. Appreciate any help.
 * CURRENT CODE CAUSING ERROR
 *     ```

 * Hi
 * It’s hard to pinpoint the cause without looking at the other associated files.
 * You can try reverting to the original code and applying `style="display:none;"`
   to the <h3> and the <img> to see if that helps restore the site.
 * Also ensure that you haven’t overwritten the site’s index.php file (in the WordPress
   root dir) by mistake.
 * Let me know how it goes 🙂

 * > I have a custom theme I had built for me
 * Since that is a custom theme we ask that you please go to developer for support.
 * Forum volunteers are also not given access to commercial products, so they would
   not know why it is not working properly. Other community members who may have
   faced your issue might be able to help you but your best bet is your product’s
   developer.

 * What does [http://plma.com.au/](http://plma.com.au/) and their custom theme, 
   PLMA (the error message) have to do with [https://www.abbottdiabetescare.com/](https://www.abbottdiabetescare.com/)(
   from the original code) ?

 * [@mktimpact](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mktimpact/), it looks like it’s
   this part that’s the problem:
 *     ```
       <p style="text-align: center;"><?php echo get_template_directory_uri(); ?>/</p>
       ```
   
 * because the `get_template_directory_uri()` function displays the path to the 
   theme folder, i.e., [http://plma.com.au/wp-content/themes/PLMA/](http://plma.com.au/wp-content/themes/PLMA/)
 * So, try removing that piece from your code.
