You just leaped miles ahead of my comfort zone, Shadez…. ‘switch to a different theme’, then switch back”. Clueless. “Clear cache”… clueless… don’t know if I have one or now to find it.

I can’t access the ‘templates’ from Pages/Editor… my Attributes box doesn’t have that. The only way I can get to the ‘templates’ list is through my Appearance>Editor. That I can get to. There is also, right above the list of templates, a drop down menu of Themes. Is this what you were talking about?

My back up is set to work every hour. is that what you meant by ‘remember the current template as well so you can switch back later if not working’? Don’t know what CDN is or if I have it.

Here is what is on the Blog page now… (just the badge and some text)

`<h3><span style=”color: #800000;”>Designing Strategies: ?The Blog</span></h3>

Thanks for your response, shadez.

No, this isn’t happening with any other pages… never touched them, so they are still all OK.

Don’t have a Page and Post with the same name (and slug). Should not be an issue.

I think what caused all of this mess is that I was attempting to make the change in the Dashboard ‘Page’/’Editor’, not in the ‘Appearance’/’Editor’/”template’.

The way my site was set up originally, the customized theme was set up to be the same on all pages except my blog page. It is not set up as a Child Page, just a ‘different’ page (different content in the side bar from all other pages).

As I mentioned above, I was operating in the Page/Editor, not the Template Editor, so I really didn’t delete any code that I was aware of.

Wanted to add the ‘badge’ and text to the top of the Blog page, assuming the blog posts would show up below that. Right now, the most current blog post ‘used’ to show up on the page, followed by earlier posts.

I have a Page.php (for all pages on site except the Blog page) and a Single Post version as Single.php. The content code on the Single.php is:`

<!– BEGIN: CONTENT –>
<div id=”content”>

<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
<?php the_content(); ?>

<?php comments_template(); ?>

<?php endwhile;?>

<span class=”article_seperator”> </span>

<!– END: MAIN CONTENT –>

<!– END: CONTENT –>

I have both ‘current’ and ‘backup’ files for each of my templates pages, but notice that the backup version of the Blog/Single.php file is no longer there.

Hope this makes sense to you. :0)

RE: in that article, you actually inserted the caption image before and outside of any paragraphs; because the html p tag is formatted with clear: both;, the text will not wrap around the image.

When I inserted the image, I placed my cursor to the left of the very first paragraph – like I always have done. Then, I hit the ‘insert media’ button, selected my image, noted ‘align left’ and then ‘post image’. At any time in the past, that put my image on the left at the beginning of the article with the first paragraph, and sometimes part of the second, wrapping around the image.

Now, for whatever reason, the image is staying aligned left, but not where I want it… higher up. What have I done to make this happen? Same process I’ve used for 4 years, different result.

Went back in and corrected my ‘Branding’ article. As suspected, I messed it up last night. The article in question is:

https://www.maurerconsultinggroup.com/focused-planning-for-success/

The part of the code relating to where the issue must be hidden is around line 265 of that page (this is the page where the actual ‘Focused Planning’ article is posted, not just the first page of my Blog).

Does this help any?

‘Interesting’, alcymyth! Actually the branding article is not my latest article and until last night had no problems. The article I was struggling with was the on on focused planning … the only one I’ve had issues with since the 4.0.1 update. Have to admit I was messing around with the new Yoast SEO plugin just added to replace an older one. I was trying to go back to older articles and switch them over using Yoast. I believe I probably changed from ‘paragraph’ to an H2 tag, causing a change. Will have to change that back to ‘paragraph’ again.

I do not believe, however, that I used an H-tag on the newest article, but will double check. As there is no text beside the image above the article, I don’t think that is the problem. My practice is to just ‘bold’ the first sentence of key paragraphs, not use the H-tags. Images have all been placed at the top of the article and aligned left, with the first paragraph wrapping around it.

Will go back in, fix the brand image and double check my latest one to see if the same error holds true. Thanks for your help — I may be back! :0)

Not encouraging leehosepho! What used to be easy has become a royal pain. Thanks for responding.

Having similar issues with word wrap and image placement since WP updated me to 4.0 version. I’m not new to this, have been doing my blog for 4 years with no problems at all.

When creating my post in my Dashboard, everything looks fine… image is at the left of my opening paragraph, just as it should be. BUT, when I hit ‘preview’, the image moves up above the posting between the title and the first paragraph. What am I missing?

**** will post this on my blog at: https://www.maurerconsultinggroup.com/blog

The ‘update’ to 4.0 has some steps back when it comes to images. What was simple now appears to require coding to get what we had in the past. WP has been sold to all of us as not requiring us to be able to do code. This is an unnecessary addition of time not only to create our ‘easy’ post, but to go back and learn coding as well.

Am having the same problem on my WP site. All of a sudden, no analytics at all showing in Google Analytics or the analytics feature on my WP Dashboard. Not ‘techy’ enough to understand any of this, but would love to get it fixed and back into operation.

I am having this same issue all of a sudden. I’ve had my blog up and running for about six months with no problem. All of a sudden, my last post shows no spacing at all between paragraphs. I’ve gone back in both the Visual and the HTML pages, inserted
codes into HTML page and nothing helps.

You can see at my site: https://www.maurerconsultinggroup.com/blog that all previous postings are fine, just the most recent one (Determine Your Value) appears as one huge, run-together paragraph. I have added no new plug-ins or made any changes to my site/blog that would account for this sudden change. I’ve updated to the latest version of WP, so should be current.

I, also, am not extremely techno-savvy, so rely on the Visual page to enter my postings. I have a little knowledge of code… enough to fix minor errors, but beyond that it’s all Greek to me.

I am having similar problems with Download Monitor. Am using the plug in to download .pdf newsletter archives. Had to set up 2 separate ‘catagories’ per year to get all 6 issues to show up. For some years, the individual ‘issues’ uploaded and sorted fine, but then in other ‘years’ (categories), the dated issues are all messed up. Can’t figure out how to fix them (sort them) so they show up in order (ie — Jan-Feb, Mar-Apr, May-June issues).

As I’m not a techie…don’t quite understand jolley_small response. Am I just stuck with having some of my issues listed in order and others just all screwed up?
