 * Hi,
 * In my footer I am getting an odd string error,
 * Here is the error:
 * string(9) “post-4395”
 * I have never seen this before it just started happening,
 * The post-### changes on different posts as well.
 * I tried looking this up before posting but found nothing.
 * Any ideas.
 * Thanks in advance and I look forward to your reply
 * Joseph

 * This is probably not enough information to diagnose the problem

 * G’day.
    You know, I just started seeing this in my header area, to the right 
   of the header photo, but visually above and still to the right of the sidebar.
   WP 2.7.1, theme OceanMist2 blog here: [http://www.menoqueenllc.com/blog/](http://www.menoqueenllc.com/blog/)
   theme: [http://www.tenbytwenty.com/products/category/wordpress-themes](http://www.tenbytwenty.com/products/category/wordpress-themes)
 * I am getting only “string(9) “post-1004″ ” up there, the ‘post-” number doesn’t
   seem to change.
 * First noticed it after installing slideshare plugin, be have since deactivated
   that and removed it from the plugins directory…so that might be a coincidence.
   
   I have not changed theme, yet but I might try that next to see if I can eliminate
   that as the casue.
 * Thanks for any thoughts.

 * Still can’t quite “get it”…but mine changes the “post-xxx” number with each change
   of theme. In the same theme, all articles have teh same number.
    Anyone? Got 
   someplace to start looking? thanks, rick

 * I just started getting this yesterday as well. I upgraded some plugins the day
   before and the next day this started to occur.
 * string(9) “post-1536”
 * The post # also changes but I can’t seem to figure out what it means. Sometimes
   it’s string(8) and others string(9). Plugins that I upgraded are:
 * Platinum SEO Pack
    Scissors WassUp

 * And after posting that I think I figured it out. It’s the new WassUp plugin. 
   It is somehow causing that to show up on the site. Once it was disabled it stopped
   showing up.
