CSS font-size problem driving me nuts!

You mean ‘entry’ as in the ‘post’ div?

Did you try altering this guy?

.post

?

Because that is your post/entry block div.

There is no post class that’s being used – all the entries are post-long, post-video or post-short.

Doesn’t seem to make a difference.

Maybe I was/am looking at a totally different site, BUT:

When I looked at your earlier links, I saw that your posts were classed with .post and then IDed with the appropriate post number.

Either way, I looked at your zipped files again and there IS a .post so try fixing that.

<div class="post">
						<h2>No posts found!</h2>
					</div>

Additionally, you use .post-long etc, AND .entry AND .post in your posts if what I am seeing in your index.php is correct.

Specify the font sizes for ALL of those and the .post and see what happens. If nothing happens and you don’t have any php functions that are interfering with how the CSS is rendering/cascading, I daresay that you are using too many different divs in your posts and the rendering process is being confused.

Link me to a live page again and I can prove to you that you DO, in fact, have a .post or whatever other classifiers. The page you linked me to earlier surely showed it?

Thanks for your help so far EMG.

I have removed the .post class (it was never being used).

The problem seems to be in <?php the_content() ;?>

I’ve altered index.php and removed the .entry div. It now reads:

<h2><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
<?php comments_popup_link('{0}', '{1}', '{%}', 'comment-number'); ?>
<p>Test</p>
<p><?php the_content(); ?></p>

In my stylesheet I have the following:

.post-long p{
	font-family: helvetica, arial, clean, sans-serif;
	font-weight: normal;
	line-height: 1.8em;
	font-size: 1.3em;
}

The word ‘Test’ is formatted correctly but the post content (i.e. what is being supplied by the_content) is not being formatted correctly. When I look at the source of my page (sorry – it’s a local copy) I get this HTML:

<div class="post-long" id="post-9">					

<h2><a href="https://localhost:80/2009/07/long-post/" title="Long Post">Long Post</a></h2>
<a href="https://localhost:80/2009/07/long-post/#respond" class="comment-number"  title="Comment on Long Post">{0}</a>
<p>Test</p>

It looks like the text from the_content is being styled but I don’t know by what!

Garry

is the same code there, if you edit your post in the admin editor – setting html editor?
and do you get the same ‘css trouble’ for new posts that you enter in the visual editor?
all this ‘text-align: justify; font-size: 11px; line-height: 14px’-stuff could come from within the text editor, particular if you used some of the formating. (however, this is only a wild guess)

@alchymyth:

You are a genius!

I’m such a doofus – I simply cut-and-paste some filler text into my test blog and the formatting was in the copy & paste.

Thank you ??

no problem ??

I can’t believe I missed that – d’oh!

For future reference, copying and pasting from a text editor like MS Word or anything that adds additional formatting into the visual editor in WP will need to be ‘cleaned up’.

If you copy and paste from Word into the plain text/HTML editor (turn off visual editor) you shouldn’t have the same problem.
