OOPS – I’m sorry, I didn’t read carefully and see that I was adding to a resolved topic, and that the original post was about wrapping issues in comments. My issue is in the body of my posts. Sorry about that. If anyone responds here, that’s great; if not, I’ll post it as a fresh topic. My error!

Hi, I’m having a similar problem with unexplained text refusing to wrap. It’s happened in multiple themes I’ve used, but it seems to be intermittent, only affecting the occasional paragraph. See an example of text that isn’t wrapping properly in the last paragraph this post (text beginning with “Photos reprinted with permission”). The URL is:

I thought it might be that I write my text in Word and then paste into the WordPress window, so I tried saving the text in plain text editor (no word wrap) and then pasting it from there; same results.

The weird thing is that it’s usually just one paragraph that malfunctions like this, and I can’t see or delete any code that would be making this happen. I’ve also tried editing directly in the WordPress window; you can see the text not wrapping at the time I’m editing it, not just upon publication. It’s happened when I’ve edited in Opera and in Firefox. Seems to happen most when I’m pasting text from another program, though.

Could it just be that I need to upgrade? This blog is WordPress 2.2 and I’m overdue to upgrade anyway.

Thanks for any feedback you can offer.

Thanks, Jeremy. I did read the other posts in here but didn’t understand the directions give. I’ll take a look at the link you provided. Much appreciated. I didn’t upgrade; I’m new to WordPress and started out with 2.1.x.

Did you get any feedback on this? I must have done the same thing!

Resolved this by replacing the entire wp-admin file.

Hi, Otto — thanks for the reminder! I dis as you said — now that I’ve replaced the wp-admin directory, it is once again working beautifully. Thx. — Carolyn

I have had the same problem; I’ve been told to re-install my entire wp-admin directory. Hope it works!

I was afraid of that! I’ve never done an update by myself, so wish me luck. *gulp* Thanks for the feedback.

Update: I backed up everything from my WordPress folder that I have at my hosting provider, then tried replacing just the “post.php” file with the same file from the WordPress installation apge. This fixed the problem … temporarily. I was able to post successfully to my blog once this morning. Then when I tried to add a very short post later, I got a similar error message pointing to a DIFFERENT WordPress wp-admin file:

Line: 173
Char: 290
Code: 0
URL: https://loopyknits.com/wordpress/wp-admin/post-new.php

So I tried replacing “post-new.php” with the same file from the WordPress installation page.

Didn’t help. My WordPress blog is currently COMPLETELY unusuable.

FYI, I’m running v. 2.1.3 of WordPress.
