LineBreaks not working in posted comments

  • I have been playing around with creating my own wordpress theme, I am only novie at this, but after following a few tutorials over at urbangiraffe I have a theme I can build upon.

    The problem i have come upon (and cannot figure out how to fix) is this: when people have posted comments, they seem to be stripped of the original layout all the linebreaks are taken out and the comment is all bunched together, such as this for example : https://mechametropolis.co.uk/2006/12/13/record-breaking-uk-wii-sales/

    Any help on how to fix this would be greatly apreciated ??

    thanks for that >_<

    That is what I am stuck with, I am new to both CSS and PHP, gradually learning as I go along.

    Any specific details would be a great help ??

    specific details:

    1. install firefox

    2. install the web developer extension (google web developer extension) which allows you to, among other things, edit your CSS on the fly

    3. If you dont want to install FF, Install the slayeroffice mouseover DOM inspector, which allows you, with one click to “see” what CSS is controlling your layout and will work with ie6.

    4. read. there are 1001 tutorials on the net re. CSS, and there are spoecific tutorials on THIS domain regarding theme generic CSS.

    5. Failing all of the above.. LOOK at your source. compare what you see there to your style.css

    If you take the time to aquaint yourself with the basics of CSS it wont be that difficult to figure out what goes where.

    Getting a self-realized “grip” on CSS is better off for folks, in the long run, than having me tell you what to do to fix it. Someone else may chose to disagree, and they might help you more in the way in that you probably want. More power to them ??
