When I write, text keeps going and going and going

You have a set width with #main but then your using blocks in your CSS with that ‘clearfix’ element you put in the class=”entry clearfix”

Probably would be fine if you just removed that clearfix css

and what if you actually try to simulate text, i.e. insert some blanks?

Your main div has a width of 500px, that should not be the problem:

div#main {
float:left;
padding:0 20px 20px;
width:500px;
}

Thank you
I didn’t work, I removed this from the css file and then the white background on the posts disappeared, leaving it in the blue background

.clearfix:after {
content:”.”;
display:block;
height:0;
clear:both;
visibility:hidden;
}
.clearfix {display:inline-block;}
/* Hide from IE Mac \*/
.clearfix {display:block;}
/* End hide from IE Mac */

Any other ideas?
Thanks!

try putting width: 500px in the .clearfix div like

.clearfix { display: inline-block; width: 500px; }

Thanks pboosten
By simulating text you mean counting the letters that I type when creating a post?

What I would like to be able to do is type in the post box and when I reach the right margin (that I set up before) wordpress would take me automatically to the next line.

Do you know what should I change to get this result?

Thanks

Thanks Frumph, but nothing changed.

What I meant was that in your example you type 50 characters (or so, didn’t count), without any blanks in between, therefore it’s one long word. try several shorter words, like in the ‘Hello World’ post.

Thanks you pboosten!!!!
Now I see… I have to type real words in order to get the right margin working.

Thanks for your help

If you want readers to SEE ALL of the info in that one long line that extends beyond the width value without breaking your theme, then I suggest installing Syntax Highlighter Evolved or something like that which will “wrap” your longlong…..longtextornumbers within the content width just like you see in plugin or theme developer’s sites and even in this forum.
