Thank you. That’s excellent. Found it and did it. Thank you all for your help with this. I learned a lot.

Hello,

Thanks you all for this. The poster was indeed using MS Word, and copying and pasting from there. That’s where the problem arose and it has been rectified thanks to your feedback.

One other thing. I would like to get rid of the categories list from under each post. How can I do that? Once again, the blog is at:

https://tomaskarkalas.noosworld.com/blog/

Regards,

That worked fine. Thank you. Perverse things, computers! I could have spent hours on this, just because the upload did not happen properly.

Thanks again.

Asoka

Okay, I can try that now. And yes, the first one has been running for several weeks now.

Asoka

Correction: it’s not exactly as you stated. Rather, it’s:

asoka1.com/blog1
asoks2.com/blog2

I guess my explanation above made that clear though.

Asoka

They are actually on two separate domains, as you say, but managed under one cPanel account, i.e. “add-on” domains. So yes, it’s what you say.

Hence, I merely took the wp-config details from the existing and working blog under the first domain in that account, put them in the new install, and modified the “wp_” to “wp1_” in $table_prefix. The latter is the only thing I altered since both installations reference the same database in the same way under the same user account.

But the error described results.

Asoka

Just changed the CSS sheet back to the way it was. I’ll leave it at that. That’s the best solution.

Anyway, thank you for all your help and support. it’s been most insightful!

Asoka

Well, the blogger also sees what you do. So, it does seem to be something to do with my IE6.

Can’t figure out where to change it though. Under Tools/Internet Options/Fonts, I just get the choice of changing font itself, not the size. Don’t know where else to look in IE6.

Anyway, that’s an IE6 problem, I guess – not a WordPress one. I guess I’ll just restore the “microscopic” settings to the blog by copying over what I’ve done with the original CSS file, and leave it at that.

But I need to get to the bottom of this. It IS weird that I am seeing SOME websites the same way as you do, and others completely differently.

Asoka

Thank you. I’m confused then. I cannot comprehend why I see my own blog (and the rest of the internet) normally, and you my blog normally too, but I see the fonts I altered on the blog in question normal now but tiny before, but they seem enormous to you!

I think it is a Firefox issue. Now that I think of it, I was talking via email to a guy who sells template websites the other day, and I told him the same thing; that the navigation links were microscopic. He said they looked fine to him! This is the only other instance I can think of where something like this happened.

I’ve just emailed him to ask if he uses Firefox. I shall wait and see.

It’s the only thing I can think of. Maybe certain types of font show up normal in Firefox, but really tiny in IE6?

I can’t think of anything else…..

Asoka

I wonder if it’s a Firefox issue? I wonder – does Ladydelaluna also use Firefox?

By the way, do you also see abnormally large fonts on my own blog, aksworld.com/blog? I have not had any complaints of it. Yet, they look normal to me too.

I am getting paranoid now!

Asoka

Am I able to upload an image too, for you to see what I am seeing? I don’t see a place on the reply box to do that. Maybe it is just for moderators?

Asoka

That graphic is VERY weird. Wow! What browser do you use?

Asoka

Well, on the other WordPress blogs I have elsewhere (e.g. https://www.aksworld.com/blog), I have been used to a “comments/trackback” link at the bottom of the main post, which is then clicked to yield the existing comments, plus the comments box itself.

I suppose I am just getting confused by this new template. It’s not one I am familiar with, and I am just helping the blogger out in setting it up. What you are saying is that the “No Comments” link is basically the same things as I have just mentioned. Correct? If so, I guess I didn’t expect to see it in a different place (plus the “microscopic” size of it threw me off looking at it too hard anyway!)

As for the error validation link from ladydeluna, it’s a bit of a strange result. Most of the errors seem to be related to the poster’s entries themselves. But he is simply typing his posts in without any HTML. He doesn’t know any coding, let alone to make mistakes. Hence, I am not sure why it is revealing these “errors”. Why would that be?

Asoka

Hmmmm. That’s VERY strange. I’m using IE6 and 1024×768 screen and it looks fine to me. Yes, Moshu, would you please do a screen shot? And yes, I am checking that thread right now.

Anyway, the comment did come through to the moderation queue. But how did you post it? I still don’t see a comment box anywhere. How do I get it to come up?

Regards,

Asoka
