Random spaces inserted on blog posts (Chrome only)

  • I’m seeing a weird error when viewing my blog posts in Chrome only — the copy in the post shows all kinds of random spaces inserted among various words. I’ve tried stripping the copy when pasting into the text editor, and the editor itself shows NO extra spaces.

    Here’s an example — note the weird spaces 3rd line and thereafter: https://gyazo.com/cf290fe70e524bddf65952bf07025feb’

    I can’t for the life of me figure out what’s happening and neither could IT. Anyone have any thoughts? Thanks in advance! Driving me nuts….

    Where are pasting from?

    I’m using textedit on mac and switching the copy to Plain Text mode, then copy/paste into WordPress. This worked fine in the past.

    Have also tried pasting directly from Word and Evernote — same result from all 3. The blog is nextviewventures.com/blog

    You are missing some code.

    There has to be a DOCTYPE and a parse model so the browser knows what to do.
    Your page begins with

    <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>Home - The View From Seed | The View From Seed</title>
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">

    It should have something like this before head/

    <!DOCTYPE html>
<!--[if IE 7]>
<html class="ie ie7" lang="en-US">
<![endif]-->
<!--[if IE 8]>
<html class="ie ie8" lang="en-US">
<![endif]-->
<!--[if !(IE 7) & !(IE 8)]><!-->
<html lang="en-US">
<!--<![endif]-->
