Newbie Needs Help Editing Homepage – Desperate

Please provide a link to your site! Thanks.

Are you using the “center” and “bold” buttons on the toolbar?

Steve:
I am just deleting a phone number and not touching anything else.
My website is (don’t laugh) https://www.weewee.mylanusa.com
Thanks so much!

TOO CUTE!!!

WRT your order form — you’re asking for a credit card number on in insecure page. That’s not PCI compliant and can get you in trouble with your bank. You really need to contact someone experienced with ecommerce.

Anyhow, it seems like you just need to google a bit on now to use the WordPRess editor.

Steve: I did the “googling” bit and can’t solve the problem of why things are changing on my page when I only make a small deletion!

Try viewing it in text mode to see if you’re breaking some HTML.

Yes I have done text too and made simple changes and it caused other things to change. I am so frustrated-

Please post a screen shot of the edit window (use imgur.com and put the link here)

So i just copied and pasted – am taking out the 800 tel number and changing the fax number

That’s the source from the front end. I asked for a screenshot of what you’re trying to edit.

I don’t know how to post it

OK, let’s abandon that route. I can’t teach you to use Windows. On your home page, what is not what you want?

Want to remove the 800 number and only use the following:
Phone: 561-852-0861
Fax: 561-852-0674
But I want to do it myself! I am no spring chicken but am a little savvy and when I did the above, I did not change any coding at all but the page changed. I only hope the person who revised my pages from php to WP did it right (am almost positive he did) …
What is imgur?

Really? That’s what the content of your home page is? Whoever built this site should be taken out back and shot.

You’re just going to have to type carefully and delete carefully.

Sorry, I didn’t understand what a mess you have to work with.

I just contacted the person I paid to do this for me and told him he has to make this compliant with WP or refund my money so that someone else can do it properly.
I knew there was a problem because when I simply take out the 800 number, everything gets messed up. I have worked a little with code and I know that should not happen.
How bad is this Steve?
