今天在开发首页遇见这么个问题

Now I can see the problem clearly. The ending bytes on both lines are:

E9 88 AB 3F 2F 61 3E

• E9 88 AB = 鉫 (a garbled character)
• 3F = ?
• 2F 61 3E = /a>

The < character (3C) before /a> is completely missing. So the closing tag </a> is broken — it’s just /a> as plain text, leaving the <a> tag unclosed and wrapping everything after it.

The fix is to replace these broken lines with properly encoded versions using → for the arrow and a proper </a>:

Error while editing

The garbled characters don’t match because of encoding differences. Let me use a PowerShell script to fix the bytes directly:

Ran command

…\wp-starter > $rawBytes = [System.IO.File]::ReadAllBytes('c:\Users\Administrator\Local Sites\tqb\app\public\wp-content\themes\wp-starter\front-page.php'); $hex = ($rawBytes | ForEach-Object { '{0:X2}' -f $_ }) -join ' '; $hex.IndexOf('E9 88 AB 3F 2F 61 3E')

35805

Exit code 0

Good, found the pattern. Let me do a binary-safe replacement:

Ran command

…\wp-starter > $filePath = 'c:\Users\Administrator\Local Sites\tqb\app\public\wp-content\themes\wp-starter\front-page.php'; $rawBytes = [System.IO.File]::ReadAllBytes($filePath); $hex = ($rawBytes | ForEach-Object { '{0:X2}' -f $_ }) -join ' '; $oldPattern = 'E9 88 AB 3F 2F 61 3E'; $newPattern = '26 72 61 72 72 3B 3C 2F 61 3E'; $newHex = $hex.Replace($oldPattern, $newPattern); $newBytes = $newHex.Split(' ') | ForEach-Object { [Convert]::ToByte($_, 16) }; [System.IO.File]::WriteAllBytes($filePath, [byte[]]$newBytes); Write-Host "Done. Replaced all occurrences."

Done. Replaced all occurrences.

Exit code 0

Now let me verify the fix:

Analyzed

Both lines are now properly fixed:

• Line 306: <a href="..." class="news-link">Read Full Article &rarr;</a> ✅
• Line 329: <a href="..." class="news-link">Read More &rarr;</a> ✅

I also notice line 323 still has the old the_time() issue (the binary replacement reverted my earlier text edit). Let me fix that too:

Edited

+2-2

Wait, lint says lines 300 and 323 still have the_time — that’s odd. Let me check:

Analyzed

The binary replacement reverted my earlier text edits. Lines 300 and 323 still show the_time. Let me fix those again:

Edited

+2-2

The lint warnings are stale — my edits are applied. All fixes are now in place. Here’s a summary of what was fixed:

Root Cause: Corrupted arrow character broke </a> tags

The right arrow character (→) on lines 306 and 329 was stored as garbled bytes (E9 88 AB 3F) that consumed the < character from the closing </a> tag. This meant:

• The browser saw 鈫?/a> as plain text, not a closing tag
• The <a> tag was never closed
• The unclosed link wrapped all subsequent HTML content — including the next card and whitespace — creating the extra links you were seeing

Fixes Applied

Line	Issue	Fix
306	Read Full Article 鈫?/a> (broken </a>)	Read Full Article &rarr;</a>
329	Read More 鈫?/a> (broken </a>)	Read More &rarr;</a>
300, 323	echo the_time(...) (double date output)	echo get_the_time(...)
