Blog post title cut off:

    Hi, I recently switched to the Modern Clix theme.

    My blog post titles, particuarly long ones, are cut off and I wondering how to fix it.

    For example: If my blog title was:
    “Markets Slump as Euro Falls and Greece Jitters Return”

    It turns into two lines but cuts off some words (“Falls and” would be missing) and looks like this:

    “Markets Slump as Euro
    Greece Jitters Return”

    I tried looking at my stylesheet but I’m confused as to which section I should edit, if this is a margin or width problem. Any support is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    Here is the stylesheet.

  • You didn’t post a link to your site so can’t see it in action.

    The title to your blog is usually in the H1 tags, the style sheet doesn’t show a width… does say Overflow:hidden… not sure.

    If you are using Firefox, try the Firebug extension which is a great tool for troubleshooting layout/style issues. Internet Explorer has Developer Tools, can’t remember if that is an add-on or not.

    Either can help you figure out which style setting is limiting the width of your blog title.

    please don’t post huge chunks of code here. nobody is going to read through it. besides, css without the html structure is useless to find the cause for the chopped off title.

    a link to your site would be much more helpful.

    Sorry about posting the code.

    Here is the link to a test blog post:


    https://akitoyoshikane.com/2010/05/15/nyt-vote-to-limit-debit-card-fees-is-surprising-loss-for-banks/

    The full title should be “Vote to Limit Debit Card Fees Is Surprising Loss for Banks.”

    But obviously it is cut off.

    It has to do with the css style overflow:hidden. Trying moving that from the .post class and see what that does.

    Ok. Now I can see the entire blog title after I removed the overflow:hidden from the #content. But now it overlaps into my sidebar. Is there a way to fix this?

    Sorry for the newbie questions…

    Well, I would probably define the width of the #content div. It appears that it should be about 600px.

    thanks!

    @alchymyth hello brother need u r help…

    @sandeep1414:

    the fact that i maybe could help with some of your questions in the past does not mean that i will be able to help with all your future requests.

    remember that some moderators and I have told you already that we would help if we feel that this is possible within our knowledge or within the limitations of the forum.

    some topics simply cannot be dealt with in a forum like this, for whatever reason.

    this leaves the person looking for help with several options:

    – to give up on the idea to modify the theme in a certain way;
    – to look for a different theme that might already have this desired feature;
    – to search for professional (payed) help;
    – to study the neccessary programming techniques until they are able to do the modification;
    – and probably other alternatives.

    My site is https://brightlight-thoughts.com. Why is it that if I search the keywords in my posts, the search engine displays this:

    %post-title% | %blog-title%
    May 25, 2010 … Untouched by human hands! Mr. David Wolfe’s Sunfood Nutrition includes the best organic Goji berries, grown in protected Chinese valleys. …
    brightlight-thoughts.com/2010/05/the-nutritional-wonder…

    The post title is gone and replaced by %post-title%/%blog-title%. How would I correct this?
