Here are my questions
Would be what are you using or going to use to track when people land a page? google analytics, awstats or something else?

How are people getting to this page? is it a link from an external site or a link from an internal page?

Is there going to be an content on this page? or are they just landing there and then being redirected to your homepage?

Well in that same code above you have margin-bottom: 72px; and padding-bottom: 1.714285714rem; and on line 74 of style.css you have margin-top: 1.714285714rem; change those to less and it will reduce the space between the content and the footer. Also on the media page this line 160 of style.css is added a lot of margin margin-bottom: 5.142857143rem;. Play around with all of those and get it how you want it.

You are telling the article div to have a double line in the style.css on line 958

.site-content article {
border-bottom: 4px double #ededed;
margin-bottom: 72px;
margin-bottom: 5.142857143rem;
padding-bottom: 24px;
padding-bottom: 1.714285714rem;
word-wrap: break-word;
-webkit-hyphens: auto;
-moz-hyphens: auto;
hyphens: auto;
}

if you change border-bottom: 4px double #ededed; to border-bottom: 4px solid #ededed; I think you will be fine

Login to wordpress and go to this post “Santi Maha Sangha Base Level Retreat with Jim Valby”. On the editor and click on text you should see
this at the very bottom of your post
<strong>For more information, please contact aha (@) dzogchencommunitywest.org or call 510-644-2260</strong><em></p>

remove the <em> from the code, it is html for open italic. Then there is no closing italic tag after it which is making everything else on the page italic.

Can I have the a link to your site?

A few things,

#customswf {
	height: 500px;
	width: 800;
	border: 2px solid;

}

should be

#customswf {
	height: 500px;
	width: 800px;
	border: 2px solid;

}

You left the px off the width.

Second line 491 of your css

object, object embed {
	display: block;
	height: auto;
	max-width: 100%!important;
}

Remove the height:auto; part and everything will look right, I already tested it.

Link to site?

Line 137 of your style.css

h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, strong {
font-weight: normal;
}

The font-weight:normal means not bold and your css is telling the strong tag which makes text bold not to be bold. You can just remove the “, strong” part and you should be good to go.

Glad you got it back up and running, I would but always back up your database and files before you do the upgrade. If you have full update it is much easier to get back to square one.

I would suggest checking what the error logs say. Post the error in here if you need help understanding them.

@respectyoda why is it best to wait to see what theme she is using, I didn’t tell her to change anything. All I did was point out the code that was causing the text go all crazy. Regaurdless of what theme Janessa is using Janessa is going to need to know what is causing the problem.

Do you have a link to your site? Is the rest of the site still up and running? Do you have access to your host server so you can check file permissions, which user and group own the files and look at the logs?

I see in your style.css on line 1343 you have
img {
float: left;
}

Which is what is causing the text to end up beside, on top of and in between the photos. If you want the text to set on top of the image or below the image. You would want the image not to have a float and place the text above or below the image in the editor. Also on the page I check you have some of your images wrapped in h3 tags with just a link and an image. You probably should have it wrapped in a p tag as your image is not a header.

@birgire I believe respectyoda thought your first post was a question not related to hendrixsalvage question. As when first read it, it sounds like you want to know how to display the excerpt on the front-page not how hendrixsalvage is display the excerpt on this front-page. Just a little misunderstanding.

I have checked it a few time and always get to the site, I did an nslookup and a whois. All DNS look in order, is anyone else having this problem or is it just you? Also do you have more then one computer you can be checking the site from? This may tell you if it is a problem with just the laptop or not. To me it sounds like the problem is on your end and not with the site but that is just an educated guess.
