Formatting went all weird

    My friends’ blog just experienced some weird glitch. The theme is Notepad and all of a sudden it has two columns. One is the posts and the other is the comments and no sidebar. Any idea what happened and how to fix it? I’ve never seen this kind of thing before.

    Thanks

  • Start by sorting out the validation errors.

    Thanks. This is the response I got from the link:

    ” A fatal error occurred when attempting to decode response body from https://thedeskset.org/. Either we do not support the content encoding specified (“none”), or an error occurred while decoding it.

    The error was: Don’t know how to decode Content-Encoding ‘none'”

    You need to start by fixing your header. Maske sure that the <meta http-equiv header is set to:

    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=<?php bloginfo('charset'); ?>" />

    in header.php.

    Thanks. Okay, I changed it but still no dice. The validation tool still says it can’t do it.

    Oh, and I tried activating other themes and they don’t display correctly either.

    Try contacting your hosts. There might be a problem with the server. I’m still seeing response headers with content encoding set to “none”.

    Called GoDaddy where the blog is hosted and they were pretty much useless. Do you think we might have to reinstall from scratch?

    I’m not convinced that a re-install would work. This does look like a server issue. From your Home page:

    Date: Thu, 02 Sep 2010 20:18:42 GMT
Server: Apache
Content-Encoding: none
X-Pingback: https://thedeskset.org/wordpress/xmlrpc.php
Keep-Alive: timeout=15, max=100
Connection: Keep-Alive
Transfer-Encoding: chunked
Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8

200 OK

    Thanks again. How did you do that? Can you explain what that all means to me so when I call GoDaddy…again, I can explain why it is a server issue?

    Thanks

    Ah, I solved the problem. Weird enough as it sounds, I decided to copy the blog to my site and then, I started deleting posts, newest first and after each one looked at the site. When i got to one post that was it. The formatting came back. So, I went back to the deskset site and looked at the offending post and sure enough, there was all kinds of extraneous HTML code in the post. I stripped it our and back to normal.

    Thanks again, for your help. Who knew that’s what it would be?
