Blog posts displaying across entire template page

    This is an older site that I have taken over, but WP and plugins are up to date.
    The main blog page is displaying the posts across the entire page template (or outside the page template). I tried creating a new page and setting it as the blog page and it displays the same way. If you click on the individual posts, they display correctly with the navigation on the right, post content in the middle and recent posts in the right side bar, and next/previous articles across the top. Any ideas why the display is jumbled on that first page? TIA

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    You have some coding errors on the page, at least one, resulting in some stray HTML. See https://cldup.com/u_UNHwGrvVr/yhTJXw.png

    I was about to suggest some CSS changes, but there’s just so much wrong with that page that I suspect it’s been mis-edited. Do you have a clean copy of the php file from which you can start over?

    seems that your theme’s code might be broken possibly in the blog template, index.php or home.php, as the single posts and archive pages are ok.

    there is a lot of html commenting in the template which might contribute to the problem, maybe in connection with one of the plugins.

    as the archives seem ok, possibly compare the index.php template with the archive.php or category.php template to find out any differences.

    as your theme does not seem to be from https://www.ads-software.com/themes/, you might need to try and contact the developer directly for support.

    Thanks @sterndata and @alchymyth. I was afraid they’re wouldn’t be an easy answer. This site and theme were built by someone who used to work for me and then it was handed off to the client. (its possible they tinkered with it!) I will have to dig into an older backup of the site and compare the files.

    Got it! It was actually a plugin called “Excerpt” that need to be reconfigured.
