Blog posts messed up

  • I’ve made several switches since I created the blog and the old posts are messed up — font changes and pic missing. I changed from WP.com to WP.org and a couple of theme switches. I am finally at a theme that I’m happy with. Now I need to fix these posts and don’t know where to begin. It’s generally the older posts. The fonts and formats appear OK in the dashboard side of it but not in the user side of it. Any suggestions on where to begin to figure this out will be appreciated! Thanks.

  • pointing to a url that shows the issue and one that shows it correct would be helpful. Since I don’t know what you think is good, how would I know?

    And I don’t think anyone is going to page thru your posts to find one that looks ‘wrong’

    My apologies, I didn’t think about that.

    I thought all my body fonts were sans-serif yet I’m finding these older posts to have a combination of sans-serif or all serif.

    Here’s one that is inconsistent with fonts in the view mode but is consistent in the edit mode: https://driftlessprairies.org/a-rose-is-a-rose/

    The spacing on this is OK in the edit mode but not so in the view mode. Also the font is serif

    This one is what I want:

    Thanks!

    I’my willing to bet that some of those posts were copy and pasted from a word document.

    the difference I see is that the American Woodcock post is comprised of a bunch of <div class="MsoNormal"> that make up each paragraph’s while the other two each paragrahh is surrounded by a <p>….</p>

    And the issue is that you have two different font-families defined
    for the P it is ‘Roborto’ and for the div, it defaults to the styling for the body which uses Palatino

    I didn’t style any of this so it must be something that happened with the changing of themes. What does the <div class=”MsoNormal”> mean? Is that something I can change without messing up more things? I’ll see what I can do with the font definitions on the other – I’m pretty new to all this but am willing to learn.

    “MsoNormal” – is caused by pasting from MS Word directly into the wysiwyg editor. You should always use the ‘Paste as text’ icon to paste from a Word doc or paset it into a text exitor first then copy it from the text document and paste it into WP.
