I am having the same problem…. it only works to use the embedded code. I am using the thesis theme.

I just now reverted it to what it was before adding that code….(my client who I’m doing the blog for is looking at it and I didn’t want it to look weird.)

yeah definitely. here is the link:

I’m using chrome, but I also tested it in safari. Neither worked… it just broke the design and the side bar is at the bottom of the page under the posts and the fonts are large for the teaser stories. uggg. i wish it would work ??

Right…. well I tried it on posts I didn’t add <p> tags to and it still didn’t work. It made the font large and centered rather than left justified.

okay got it. about to test it now….

okay thank you! Let me know what you find…. I’m so curious.

You’re right, you wouldn’t think I would need to add the <p> tags, but for some reason, the paragraphs are not indenting unless I do add the <p> tags. so strange.

oh and one more thing… when I add <p> after a <div> the layout is broken (side bar at bottom, etc). When I add <p> after </div> the layout does not get broken. I am not sure why that is….. but just thought I’d add that…

@brett – I copy and pasted that code into my thesis custom_functions.php, and it created the paragraphs in all the right places, but now the entire design seems to be broken along with that…. i.e. The side bar is now at the bottom of the page, fonts are different sizes in the teaser stories at the bottom, and they are not within their margins. Do the <div> tags determine borders ??

@proddys I could try doing that, although I am worried the same thing might happen with the design being broken….

I did try just adding <p> after each </div> and <div> and the paragraphs seemed to show up correctly. I just will have to do that for all 70 posts…..

(I love the thesis framework too!)

so I tried manually deleting the div’s and it worked, but I don’t think I will be able to do that for the 70+ blog posts on the blog….

I wonder if this is something that happens to a lot of people when exporting a blogger blog to wordpress?

okay I will try doing that, thanks!

oh okay…. that probably would take hours as it’s happening to the whole blog which has tons of blog entries. Is there a shorter way to fix the problem?

It’s just strange, because in blogger, the posts show up with perfect spacing, but when exported to wordpress, the spacing got all messed up.

In HTML, I see the text, then the appropriate </div> tags at the end of each paragraph. For some reason these </div> are not working correctly, because when I go to the live view of my blog there are no spaces where in the html I saw there are </div>
tags… So the html seems to be correct. Why could the live view not be showing up correctly?
