    Do you have a backup file of your site?

    If I were you, I would switch to another theme. That often fixes the problem.

    If your website works while you're on a theme - then you know that the theme you really want to use is the theme that is causing problems.

    contact godaddy. Have them do a virus check first. Have them check it for virus', then go through and change your server password and your wp admin password. Then look into fixing the error but godaddy will most likely do this for you.

    I was contacted by godaddy via email. It was an automated email which basically said it was nothing they could fix. Said it was most likely due to coding or scripting. I will have to find someone to fix this cuz I really don't have a clue.

    I could fix it for you. It's not hard at all - I promise! I've had the problem 40 times before - at least.

    Simply switch the theme and see if that helps. If not - then it's something a tad bit more serious.

    Might be iframe virus. Check out what is the content of line 229 in default-filters.php first.

    Well do one thing, Go from your cPanel to your file Manager and delete this theme from server. So if your site have no issue then you wordpress blog will back with default Wordpress theme.

    Try it. It may work for you.
