Gibberish code after comment’s, trackbacks, and pingbacks

It’s &#87B1EA; in the source, and not WB1EA;. I can’t say offhand where this is in your templates, but you use:

color: #87B1EA;

in a few places in your css. I imagine it’s just a goof on setting the color for a style attribute.

Hi Kafkaesqui,

this is what it used to be in my css file,

#content #commentform input, #content #commentform textarea
{
background: #FFFFFF;
border: 1px solid #87B1EA;
font-size: 11px;
padding: 2px;
}

AND

#content code
{
color: #87B1EA
}

I just changed the color codes to so they’re now

#content #commentform input, #content #commentform textarea
{
background: #FFFFFF;
border: 1px solid #007FFF;
font-size: 11px;
padding: 2px;
}
AND

#content code
{
color: #7EC0EE
}

and uploaded it and refreshed the page and still have the same problem in all areas.

But I found out I have it all over. I have it in my comments-popup.php, comments.php, index.php, page.php, and pagewidthkomment.php. I’m not sure if I should just delete the “87B1EA” or change colors or get rid of the code in front or behind it too.
here’s the code, what do you think?

thanks

Pete

comments-popup.php

<?php if ($comments) { ?>
<ol id="commentlist">
<?php foreach ($comments as $comment) { ?>
<li id="comment-<?php comment_ID() ?>">
<?php comment_text() ?>
<p><cite><?php comment_type(__('Comment'), __('Trackback'), __('Pingback')); ?> <?php _e("by"); ?> <?php comment_author_link() ?> &#87B1EA; <?php comment_date() ?> @ <a href="#comment-<?php comment_ID() ?>"><?php comment_time() ?></a></cite></p>
</li>

comments.php

<?php foreach ($comments as $comment) : ?>
<li id="comment-<?php comment_ID() ?>">
<?php comment_text() ?>
<p><cite><?php comment_type(__('Comment'), __('Trackback'), __('Pingback')); ?> <?php _e('by'); ?> <?php comment_author_link() ?> &#87B1EA; <?php comment_date() ?> @ <a href="#comment-<?php comment_ID() ?>"><?php comment_time() ?></a></cite> <?php edit_comment_link(__("Edit This"), ' |'); ?></p>
</li>

index.php

<div style="margin: 10px 0 10px 0"><?php posts_nav_link(' &#87B1EA; ', __('&laquo; Previous Page'), __('Next Page &raquo;')); ?></div>
<?php get_footer(); ?>

page.php

<?php endif; ?>
<div style="margin: 10px 0 10px 0"><?php posts_nav_link(' &#87B1EA; ', __('&laquo; Previous Page'), __('Next Page &raquo;')); ?></div>
<?php get_footer(); ?>
++++

pagewidthkomment.php

<h3 class="storytitle" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>"><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h3>
<div class="meta"><?php _e("Filed under:"); ?> <?php the_category(',') ?> &#87B1EA; <?php the_author() ?> @ <?php the_time() ?> <?php edit_post_link(__('Edit This')); ?></div>
AND

<div style="margin: 10px 0 10px 0"><?php posts_nav_link(' &#87B1EA; ', __('&laquo; Previous Page'), __('Next Page &raquo;')); ?></div>
<?php get_footer(); ?>

try this:

#content code
{
color: #7EC0EE; /*note closing semicolon*/
}

instead of this:

#content code
{
color: #7EC0EE
}

Also, make sure the 0 in that hexadecimal is a numeral and not the capital letter O.

Oh, and inline style? BBBAAADDD IDEA! Get rid of it and put it in the stylesheet.

I agree with kickass on inline styles. Better to handle things from your stylesheet. But note that when removing it from your templates, set the posts_nav_link() tags from:

posts_nav_link(' &#87B1EA; ', etc…

to

posts_nav_link('', etc…

A final note that just inserting &#87B1EA; into your HTML content is not going to do anything. Well, other than display as WB1EA;

Kickass,

thanks for the ; fixed that.

I’m not sure what an inline style is and which page/pages it is, can you tell me please?

Kafkaesqui,

so should I remove all instances of &#87B1EA; from all my php pages that have it?

thanks

Pete

Inline styles are when the style attribute (and accompanying css declarations) is used in an HTML tag, like so:

<div style="margin: 1px; color: #eee;">

And yes, if you don’t want the various WB1EA; showing up on your pages you’ll have to take out the &#87B1EA; in your templates.

Yes!!! it worked.

thanks a lot guys

Pete

I’m glad we could help.
