I seem unable to detect which entries have been doubled-up…

where should I be looking. Your ‘about’ and ‘home’ pages look fine to me ??

You’re welcome ??

Well hello Troutish,

In the modern age of the xhtml transitional doctype and semantically sound markup, you should try and end your paragraphs not with linebreaks (which by the way need to be closed in xhtml like so: <br />) but with the paragraph’s closing tag (</p>).

Anyways, I think this is how it happens:
If you have the visual editor turned on (click ‘my profile’ in wp admin and find the checkbox), then your ‘write post’ page will have a tab to choose either visual or code editor.

If you use the visual editor, then when you hit enter, the current paragraph will be closed (with

) and a new paragraph will be started. In the visual editor, if you want to have a linebreak (which, remember, should not be used as a tool for making faux-paragraphs, and one reason why is because the paragraphs are then not styled properly with css)… anyways, if you want to have a linebreak in the visual editor, hold shift and then press enter.

If you use the code editor, paragraphs are NOT automatically created for you… instead, when you hit enter, a linebreak is created.

Use the visual editor when pasting in your web text. Any paragraph and line break formatting should be retained.

Does that help?

haha ok good luck, fiddling is fun and a good learning experience… lol

=)

Not sure what you are actually asking.. you want a plugin or css declaration that will create rounded corners on your images?

I’m fairly sure such a thing does not exist, and corners must be rounded with a graphics editing app. I guess you could overlay a div with background that has gif corners (that is, the parts ‘outside’ the rounded corners would be filled in with the same as your background colour), but probably need one of these gifs for every image size that you will be putting rounded corners on…

lol, is easier and avoids potential bugs if u just use a graphics app… if you have photoshop, or something similar, use the rounded rectangle and create a layer mask with it.

good luck and have fun with that,

The referral to the host might just be because the php files are include-ing files such as header.php and footer.php that do not exist, but I’m not 100% bout that.

You may need to access your db, backup your data and reinstall wordpress but I have no experience with this and this may not be the answer, so if your posts are precious to you, maybe wait for more assistance

=)

if I think of anything I’ll let you know.

Use the theme editor to edit whatever php file is being used as the template for the page (probably index.php).

I assume “news” is a category title, and if so, to get rid of this you need to find the section in the php file that refers to <?php the_category(', ') ?>, and wipe whatever you think is appropriate (e.g. it might say <a><?php the_category(', ') ?>;</a> or <h3><a><?php the_category(', ') ?></a></h3>, and in this case you could wipe that whole string)

be cautious, backup first

Similarly, find the section that says “This entry was posted on pi?tek” and replace that with whatever you want it to say.

Add your div in the php as well, and edit the css (also through theme editor) to style it.

What’s the directory structure of your site?

Can’t you use your host’s domain tools, or ftp, to see what files are there?

Have you accidentally deleted or moved some wordpress folders?

Need to edit your css.

Space around an element is called a margin, so you need to add .post img to your css (via the theme editor), including some margin, something like so:

.post img { margin: 10px; }

you can cut this and paste somewhere into your css (at the very bottom is good, that way if you don’t know css you won’t accidentally paste it mid-way through another declaration).

This is basic use of css to style your markup… google something like “css basics” for more info.

Take a look in your template and check if the template tag used to show the post is the_content() or the_excerpt(). If it is the_excerpt then, you guessed it, change it to the_content().

More about template tags here: https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Stepping_Into_Template_Tags

If you used the <!--More--> tag when writing your post, then it will only show on the homepage up to the the place you inserted this tag.

try ctrl+v or apple+v if you’re on a mac.

The shortcuts are ctrl+x to cut, ctrl+c to copy, and ctrl+v to paste.

??

or do you mean that the paste option is “grayed out”? In which case go back to notepad, make sure your text is selected, and hit ctrl+c to try copy to the clipboard again.

I take it you’ve tried to get to your admin via
https://yoursiteaddress/wp-admin/index.php

and the page you’re looking for, I believe, is https://yoursiteaddress/wp-admin/options-general.php

Does that help?

It’s not your flickr badge, it’s the width of your div called container.

Increase your container width to 917px (from 870px), and problem solved.

Some versions of ie use a slightly different method of calculating the width of a div‘s content as does firefox, and I believe this has caused the glitch.

You should start by trying to get your code to validate: https://validator.w3.org

It could be something as simple as not closing a div at the right place, or at all.

haha… or… to save time, firefox 2.0.0.3 shows line number in the View Source window… earlier versions may also.
