Site pages are jumbled

My entire site is jumbled.  It was working fine on Friday - I went away this weekend and come back Sunday and my entire site is jumbled.This is the second time it has happened.  I have a backup of the site but will leave it in this state today so someone can look at it and tell me what causes this situation. If you want to check out a screen shot I've attached one.

Thanks for any assistance in advance.

The CSS files are there.  I've cleared the cache too.  I am using a template that has been working fine.  I haven't done any edits since the site was working Friday. this site is not live yet but I would like to get a handle on this before we go live.

I have see this before. It's a caching system issue.

Turn off all caching options.

Admin->Settings-Advanced Settings->Other

Admin->Settings-Advanced Settings->Templates

Clear the cache manually via FTP of from cpanal.

Leave caching obtions off for a while.

did you upgrade your dolphin version?

is your template compatible for that d7 version?

you can make changes on your site which could maby make this problems, but you didn´t clear your cache so you couldn´t see them.

then you cleared the cache days later or the d7 system wrote new cache files and then there is this problem.

so you must made changes before...

A source view on the page indicates damage by the body tag.

I would restore any backup copys you may have of

templates/base/_header.html and _sub_header.html

Or in the case of a custom template.

templates/yourtempate/_header.html and _sub_header.html

I noticed that too.  That sort of thing happens when you edit html source files.code with a word processor, then cut and paste.  I'd be interested in knowing what Augustus uses to edit source files.

Thanks for your responses...

That did the trick.  I restored from a previous version. I also checked the base tag and seen the issue that was noticed.  The restore of the orig _header.html fixed that issue.  I believe there was an edit done earlier on the server using their html editor which may have placed the wrong info in that tag.  I will do any further edits in Dreamweaver so I don't have that issue again.

 

@ue30

If you would have asked for the specific ver I would have given you that information.  I guess it may have been difficult to extract that there wasn't a dolphin upgrade performed based on the info I gave.  The current ver that we are using is 7.0.4.  Also it would be logical to extrapolate that the template was compatible or it would NEVER have worked. In the future I will provide more detail so the obvious will be actually known. Thanks for your help.

In summary:

By using the editor on the server to do a quick edit in the past I actually destroyed some of the tags. The caching, that is on by default, prevented us from seeing the problem, which probably was there from an edit done earlier in the week.

All future edits will be done off the server in Dreamweaver so the code doesn't get damaged. Glad this came to light before the go live. Thanks all again for your assistance.
