[Support request] Script in wp_head Hook makes a white space above page header in frontend

[Hermann]

Hi,

I have added a Google Script into wp_head Hook. If I look in the frontend there suddenly is a white space above my page header. If I remove the script, the white space disappears and the layout is correct again. No matter if I use a child theme or not.

Here is the URL: http://wpland.heuser-webjobs.de

Can anybody help? Thank you very much.

Hmm, seeing some broken HTML. You’re sure you’ve added the code to the wp_head hook and not the Before Header hook?

Can you show me the code you’re adding?

Hello Tom,

yes, I have added the code in wp_head. And I have installed another wordpress with the same confuíguration on another server. And the same problem occurs.

Here is the code:

I believe it’s the <img> tag in there inside the <noscript> tags. What happens if you remove everything between <noscript></noscript>?

Hi Tom,

I have removed the complete content between <noscript> and </noscript>. Now theres only the following code in wp_head hook, but there is no difference in frontend. Still the white space above the page.

Have you removed the code completely? I’m not seeing any gap anymore.
