How to get rid of one character on the site?

Question

PHP

The symbol < appears wherever possible (before the title of the pages), I cannot find and delete it. Appeared after I cleaned the site from base64_decode('some kind of garbage'). When I cleaned it, it seems that I accidentally deleted <?php somewhere and left <. Site on joomla. I searched manually in the files, but to no avail. Help me please.

Answer 1

That is, searching for sp-content-bg and looking carefully for what comes after the > of the div does nothing? You can also look in css, you didn’t put anything in content.
If <div id="sp-content-bg" class="clearfix">something other than a static call comes immediately after, scan those files for < at the beginning.

Answer 2

Let's start with the fact that if you have in your code

base64_decode('some bullshit')

which you did not add, then with a high probability you either have a holey joomla or a holey hosting.

Answer 3

That's where item-page comes in. Now I don't even know where to look

Answer 4

1. Look in the first line of this file where you have item-page
2. Look at the file where this one is connected
3. Start searching for the contents of files on "<<"
