I’m the one that was out to lunch and forgot the links. Here’s the link to the post

Duh! I’m sorry I forgot that. https://comfortclimateservice.com

See this post for the resolution.

That worked beautifully. Thank you very much for helping.

Please help. I have still not been able to solve this problem.

I figured out how to put spacing between the icons by adding this code to the custom css.

#social-icons a img {
	float: left;
	padding-right: 5px;
}

To correct the other problem of the title of the next text box in the widget appearing on the same line as the icons, I added the following code to the end of the html code.

<br></br>

Is this the best practice?

I got the solution from an article. It had the instructions to place the code with the custom class in the css file and the other code in the text of the side widget.

I tried it with the code above. It works but created a problem. The title of the next text box in the side widget appears on the same line as the icons.

example can be seen here.

1- How would I put the space back between the icons and the next text box?

2- Also, how would I add spacing in between the individual images/icons?

I appreciate your help. I’m new at this. I’m not familiar with Firebug yet.

I’m sorry. I had removed the code. I’ve put it back now. Can you see if you can see any signs of the new styles in the site now?

InkThemes used to have a forum for all users. They have sense created a new forum, which is only available for users of the paid version. Should I try to find an email for InkThemes?

Oh my gosh! I can’t believe I missed something that simple ?? Thank you!

I’m using the Andrina Lite theme and run into this problem as well.

Making the font size larger improves the bunched up look.

If you are wanting to add extra spacing for example between a header and paragraph or in between paragraphs, while in the visual editor sometimes hitting the return adds a blank link.

When this didn’t work, I went into the text editor tab and inserted
</br>, which is supposed to insert a blank line. It worked but I noticed the html was changed to  
I tried adding   the next time and it worked.

If you go to Andrina Lite Theme Options > Styling Options, you will be able to put your custom css code there by the way. Whatever you put here will be maintained when you do a theme update.

Are you talking about the social media icons that appear at the top of the home page? If not, which icons are you referring to? I’m using the Andrina Lite theme as well.

I removed the code from the custom css.

I verified that the ‘automatically add paragraphs’ option is not checked in the text widget.

The behavior is still the same. I will re-post in the other forum. Thank you very much for taking a look.

They just fixed this problem with the version 2.5.3. Yeah! Thanks so much for providing me a fix in the meantime.

Thank you for the article reference. It was very informative. I’ve read several other articles on the site on the_content() and the_excerpt() functions, but this was the first that indicated that all formatting was lost when using the_excerpt().

When I made the change, the post image appeared twice. Once as the downsized thumbnail image and again next to that as the full size image. I’m not sure if that is an Andrina theme issue or default WP.

As a work around, I kept the_excerpt(), but made sure to place a More link in each post and page where I want the display to cut off. I think this works alright because almost always there is a short paragraph explanation prior to any formatted lists.

Once again, Thank you.
