Formatting problem on Blog page only DESPARATE

Ooops I meant desperate, but since I WAS so desperate I goofed.

Anyway, I pretty much labored all day and I think I fixed my CSS issues. One little problem now:

I’m almost done with a site I designed using your Framework theme and I’m having one last problem that has me stumped. It would be an easy answer for you since you know your files, but I’m not a very technical person. Can you help me? Somehow I dropped a close (a) tag for post titles and I have no idea where to put it back in! It’s causing all my post text to become a links.

WP support doesn’t want to help me so I’m hoping you could take a few minutes to answer me. Here’s the link: https://tejadadesigns.com/eyecycle/blog/

You don’t want the individual post titles to be links? I can help you with this, but I think it’s best if the individual blog posts go to their pages. Let me know.

Thanks bellemode. I DID want the post titles to be links, but when I’d click on the title the formatting for the single post page went to hell. I think I finally was able to fix it. It wasn’t easy and it’s still not perfect, but I’m making it work. The format for the single post page is very different from the blog page format, and the archived page format was messed up as well. I’m not going to be using the Framework theme ever again. It used to be a good basic theme but the author has made the theme complicated and it goes off into the bushes. No support either.

I’m going to try it for a project i’m working on. I’ll look at the single post and archive pages and let you know what I think went wrong.

It looks like you want the same page structure for a single post as you do for the homepage. If that’s true you can duplicate the homepage and cut and paste the single post meat and potatoes as it were in between the same structure wraps you have on the homepage. I hope that makes sense.

Please let me know how that works out. I realize that to make a regular web page, it uses page.php and for a single post single.php. For the archived post, it’s archive.php. I sat down with a printout of single.php to see what it was doing compared to page.php. Archive.php was a totally different animal. My problem with single.php is that the sidebar is inside content, on the regular page it’s outside. I’m not a programmer, can barely edit pages the way I want. I finally decided to live with the format for single.php, duplicated that format for archive.php and tried to use css to get page.php (class .blog) to come as close to single.php as I could manage (backwards solution) and get it to behave on all Mac browsers as well as stinker IE8. This web site is a donation for me, no pay, and they’re not entirely observant (most of their visitors are blind) so I’m hoping they’re okay with my solution. But being a bit of a perfectionist I’d prefer getting it all to match.
