Firefox 1.5.0.4 for MAC OS X NOT Displaying WP Homepage, Other Pages Fine (???)

I’m pretty sure it’s a stylesheet issue.

I can see it for a moment, but then it’s covered up by white space.

Possibly handling the background color/transparency of tables in a way that Firefox doesn’t like?

You might try that site and see what it comes up with.

Hmmm. Lots of validation errors (49):

It can be time consuming, but you need to get those straightened out first. That will probably fix your problem, but if it doesn’t, report back.

Thanks guys.

One of the weird things thats coming up as an ERROR is the placement of a forward slash on ” and <br> tags.

As per the wordpress editor (version 1.5), the paragraph and line break tags are inserted automatically with the default return (keyboard return).

So, in the ERROR message, its says I “wrote” my paragraph tags like this: “” which of course, I didn’t.

How the heck am I supposed to edit those? Can’t see the html in the insert text box.

I can confirm the problem. I have Mac OS X, am using firefox 1.5.0.4, and see the symptoms as you describe.

I also checked for validation, and saw many errors. It’s probably a missing closing tag on a div or something like that. It’s best to fix them all though. No reason to have it mess up.

Don’t worry about the <br>'s for now. It’s not something that will mess up firefox. My quick check shows that it’s properly showing in the editor, but when it displays it’s being filtered. I believe there is a functions file in wordpress that does this, and that you can add a line to functions.php in your theme to turn it off. But let’s not worry about that for now. Concentrate on making sure every tag is opened and closed properly for now.

Are you using the latest wordpress? If you are, here’s a work around until you figure this out.

Go to your options page, and change the blog address. Change it to https://www.joshoakhurst.com/?page_id=10, or another page of your choosing. People should be able to navigate from that starting place.

I’m a little puzzled here. The page is somehow there, but not there. I can click things eventhough I can’t see them. I haven’t run into anything like this before. Kind of baffling to me so far.

Yeah, I’m working trying to debug those tags, looks like a lot of the “bugs” are coming from my posts.

That’s a good workaround Idea – and yes, I’M VERY PUZZLED AS WELL. It makes no sense the page would just pop up and disappear with all the HTML links still working – it’s like the page becomes ghost like.

Thanks for looking into this and trying to help me out Manstraw. Very much appreciated.

I’d suggest reading source code in your last bunch of posts. Or, conversely, validate back through the last bunch of posts in a backward way by date. That might show you which post it’s in then you can simply edit that post in html mode and find the culprit.

kickass and JOakhurst, I actually went through and called every post individually that is displayed on the normal index page, and I could not find an individual post that would manifest the error. I thought it must have been something in a post, but that alone doesn’t appear to result in the error. Perhaps a combination of posts? Open tags? I’m stuck.
