Well this is new to me, and quite confusing as my curious mind seeks for a resolution. Hello Dolly does NOT display as a plugin option in my list of plugins within the wordpress location. Within Cpanel in the plugins folder, “Hello” is the name of the plugin (folder) that exists. If I remove this folder, I then get a notice in my plugin section within wordpress admin that informs me that Hello Dolly has been disabled due to missing files.
The crazy thing is, then my site results in issues like the following:
Who would of thought Hello Dolly was so important; what am I missing?
I have since re-added the plugin files and the issues (Notice’s) have gone away at: www.TattiniBoots.com. If you would like me to remove Hello Dolly again so that the issues are prevalent, please let me know

Go into your database and look at your table wp_options, remove any reference to the Hello Dolly plugin. I had to do this once a few years ago. Sometimes the removal of plugins does not fully work, so you have to go in and purge any excess data.
