How can I find this Body tag? and how to fix this?

Answer 1

As per this thread, you cannot create a publishing subsite as a root site of a site collection.

However, you might be able to remove the field in question and redeploy the template as shown in this article and see if it works. Good luck!

Answer 2

When you 'Save site as a Template', it only creates the template file which includes particular SPWeb.

It does not create the package of your whole site collection, so when you create a new site using your SAVED Site Template, you can create a SPWeb site but not the whole site collection.

So, the scope of your Custom Site Template is upto creating the sub-sites, but not the whole site collection

Thank you for your replies.

I followed the article and it solved my problem, now I can create the site collection but when I try to create new site I get file not found error, and when I look in all site content I se the site I created but I am not able to open it.
