alignment problems when hitting save

  • I have been working in wordpress for a few months on the Dapit Hapon 1.0 by Gail Dela Cruz template.

    I am trying to put up a page with various banners and really struggling with alignment and placement. I will have it perfect in the editor and then as soon as I press “Save” or “Save and Continue Editing” everything rearranges like a bowl of alphabet soup!

    I imagine this could be fixed in the coding, but I am not sure what to alter. I have pictures to show what I mean , if that would help. Thanks so much for any advice!

  • If the banner is too big for the space you’re trying to put it in this could happen.

    If the code snippet you’re inserting that maybe is from a place like amazon or elsewhere is a noncompliant code snippet when compared with the doctype of your theme this could happen.

    If you’re using the rich text editor to add code into a post then that DEFINITELY could happen. (this is an easy fix– shut the dang thing down, in both users (checkbox near bottom, uncheck it) and in options/writing up near the top.)

    There are probably twenty other “that could happen” reasons I can come up with. More info is needed for us to help you.

    I am editing right in wordpress online. The banner fits fine in the editor and is standard banner size. I am not inserting any code snippit or using a rich text editor. WordPress is creating it all.

    The shifting seems to happen sometimes for no apparent reason, but I was unable to fix it this time even with repeated efforts both in the editor and in the html.

    Let me know if you need any other info…

    I could post the code if it would help, it seems a bit messy to me, but I have only been working with code a short time…

    Alex, can we either have a link to the site where you’re having the problem or a screencap of it so we can see it?

    I suspect there’s an easy “fix” but we’d need to see the problem first.

    How do I send you picts?

    upload them to image bucket or flickr or similar and give the link here. ??

    I’m sorry, they are too small for me to see or understand properly. Can you upload a larger version to photobucket and give a link so that I can see?

    Or of course, a link to the problem page. ??
    Thanks

    There are screencaptures of what it looks like before I save (this is what I want it to look like (white background)). The other pictures are what it looks like after I save and everything gets jumbled up. Are these size jpgs better?

    Were the larger pictures helpful?
