You have a blank line in your mission statement

Hi Laura,

Navigate to admin/settings/site-information and remove the blank line you have entered in the text box for the mission statement.

That should do it.

Thank you, there is an "br" tag, but when i remove it and save it reapears.

I had to disable the admin editor in order to get rid of this :D

Thanks!

I do not know this theme but from what I can see this is a div tag for the mission statement of your website. It is very likely that you can switch it off in your theme administration settings. If you can not find it there, you can switch it off in your style.css file which is in your default theme folder. Open this file in any editor and find declaration of #mission add an extra line just after the curly bracket:

#mission {
  <b>display: none;</b>
  padding 1em;
  ...
  ...
  ...
}

The box should disappear.

Alternatively, you can get rid of it by editing the page.tpl.php file which is also in your default theme folder. Open it and find the place where mission statement is printed. Something like: print $mission . Just delete that. This would be a better solution in terms of good coding practise.

I hope it will help.

Thanx Marcin,
i got it now, it was so confusing because i was just sawing a blank field witch is called Mission Statement. I cannot remember to even touched it.
So i had to switch to html view to see it and to properly save it i had to disable the editor - once i did this it dissapeared.

Cheers
