I have made only minor changes to my capture-templates variable, which is
admittedly quite convoluted. Recently, this error pops up whenever I run
C-cC and any of the keys for templates:
Capture abort: (wrong-type-argument stringp |)
Does this ring a bell for anyone? Does this mean that "|" is encountered
in a template, as a string, and shouldn't be?
Thank you,
Alan

This is an error that happens while the function org-capture-fill-template runs. It is not easy to locate because the error is captured.
What you can do this this:
Goto org-capture.el and find this piece of code:
(condition-case error
(org-capture-put :template (org-capture-fill-template))
((error quit)
(if (get-buffer "*Capture*") (kill-buffer "*Capture*"))
(error "Capture abort: %s" error)))
Edit it to remove the error trap:
(org-capture-put :template (org-capture-fill-template))
(if (get-buffer "*Capture*") (kill-buffer "*Capture*"))
Evaluate buffer to update.
Set debug-on-error
And then go and hit the error again.
The traceback will then give information we can hopefully use.
HTH
