Minnesota fraud committee suspects Omar of involvement in Feeding Our Future scheme

A fragment of a webpage featuring a Read More button that reveals extra content,followed by a long block of header/navigation markup. The hidden content appears to be a site header for washingtonexaminer.com, including mobile menu and search icons, a dropdown search, and a search form. The snippet also includes an Amazon auto-links shortcode at the end. Engaging find.From what you described, it looks like a Read More toggle on a page is revealing a large block of HTML that actually contains a site header (the Washington Examiner header with mobile menu, search icons, etc.) and ends with an Amazon Auto Links shortcode. That’s not normal content for a post and could indicate a misconfiguration or injection.

What this might mean

– It’s likely not legitimate site content. The header markup belongs in template files (header.php) or a site-wide layout, not inside a post’s content.

– It could be caused by a misconfigured WordPress Read More tag, a shortcode that outputs the header markup, or a plugin/theme issue.

– The Amazon Auto Links shortcode at the end is another hint that content is being assembled from shortcodes and HTML in the post body, rather then being a clean excerpt.

How to diagnose and fix (typical WordPress scenarios)

– inspect the source of the page:

– Open the page in a browser, use Inspect/Developer Tools, and locate the Read More toggle. See where the hidden content actually lives (inside the post content vs. injected by a plugin).

– Check the post content:

– In WordPress admin, edit the post and look for the more tag (Classic Editor: ; Gutenberg: the More block).See what content appears after the break.

– If the header HTML is sitting in the post body after the more tag,remove it or move it to a template file.

– Check plugins and shortcodes:

– Review any plugins that generate content via shortcodes (e.g., Amazon Auto Links). Temporarily disable them to see if the header markup disappears.

– Search the post/content for any shortcodes that might output header HTML or include external markup.

– Check theme files:

– Look in header.php and relevant template files to ensure header/nav markup isn’t being included inside post content by accident (e.g., a misplaced function or a custom template).

– Security check:

– If you didn’t add this content, run a security scan (wordfence, Sucuri) and review recent edits to the post, plugins, and theme.

– Check for any unauthorized admin accounts or recently changed files.

– How to fix in code (common patterns):

– Ensure the content area on archive/index pages uses the excerpt, not the full content, to prevent heavy markup from leaking into previews.

– Example (conceptual): in your theme, use the_excerpt() on index/archive, and the_content() only on single post views.

– Remove any header-like HTML from posts. move site-wide header markup to header.php or a proper template file.

– If you must keep a long post with an excerpt, ensure the “more” tag only splits the post content, not the entire header or external markup.

– If you actually need a visible Read More that toggles content, ensure the toggle only reveals intended article content and not any site header markup. Use a clean, scoped container for the hidden portion.

If you want,share:

– The CMS/theme you’re using (WordPress,etc.), and

– A redacted snippet of the relevant part of the post content and the surrounding template code (or a link to the page, if public).

I can give you targeted steps or code fixes based on that.

Note on the Amazon shortcode

– Shortcodes output HTML directly and can be misused if placed inside content intended for excerpts. If you’re cleaning things up, test by disabling the shortcode to see if the rest of the header markup still appears.

If you want, describe what you’re trying to achieve (keep header only in templates, not in post content, etc.), and I’ll tailor a concrete fix.
