Double Spaced Text

Please supply a link to a page on your website where you have this problem so we can help you better.

It is: thewoolgatherer.net

ok.

On the page I see:

<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 18px;"><strong>MAINE</strong><br>
</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">DAMRISCOTTA</p>

In your style.css we see:

p, #content p {
    margin-bottom: 1.5em;
}

Which means that each paragraph has a bottom margin of 1.5em.

You can solve your problem by changing the bottom margin or by putting both words (MAIN,DAMRISCOTTA) in one paragraph instead of two.

You should also check your css: https://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/ because there are a lot of validation errors.

Should I change my bottom margin to something smaller? 1?
I’ve tried to put everything in one paragraph. Each time I hit a return, I get double spacing. Last night I adjusted the css so I could adjust the widget title. Apparently I did something else.

I’m new to all this and don’t know what validation errors are, but I’ll have to check out the link you provided.

I suggest you put everything in one paragraph and use shift+enter (shift+return) to create a linebreak.

Thanks. That helped, however everything looks fine in edit mode, but not when I visit the site. I’ve saved everything. Could my photo be too big? I’ve set it at 120 x 80 (?) pixels.

They are still in their own paragraph.

Sorry – I don’t mean to be dense. Should the text and the photo be in different paragraphs? How do I do that?

No worries, Communicating like this can be complex. Did you change the page? Becuase where it used to say MAIN,DAMRISCOTTA it is empty now.

I thought that you didn’t want the space between MAIN and DAMRISCOTTA. Wasn’tthat your original question?

Sorry! I was speaking of the widget area, first one (particularly).
Also, yes, I did change the Home page.

Ok, could you be specific on which page you have the problem and describe what you would expect to see?

Because for me the problem is not clear (sorry :-()

In the first footer widget, there is a photo of a restaurant; I have accompanying text which looks fine in edit mode. When I visit the site, the text isn’t there.

Allright.

This is the text that is not visible, correct?:

The River Grill
155 Main St., Damriscotta, ME
207-563-8909
Open Year Round
Happy Hour 7 Days a week 3-6

the reason is that the text-color is set to white. White on white will not show.
adding the css below to your style.css should fix that:

.textwidget p {
color:#000000;
}

Duh! What a dumb mistake! I know well enough how to set text. I should have been able to figure this one out.

Thanks, Mike for all your help and patience.

Actually, the text is back, but I still have the double spacing issue
