Sidebar

  • I have installed a dynamic sidebar so that widgets will work.

    It was all working very nicely.

    I made several posts. All of which went well.

    Now when I go back to the site the sidebar is out of sync. Everything has moved to the right, the fonts have increased and everything has moved to the bottom of the page.

    How can I fix this?

    The link is https://monarchhousing.org/Blog/

    This is how my sidebar file reads currently:

    <div id=”sidebar”>

      <ul id=”sidebar”>
      <?php if ( function_exists(‘dynamic_sidebar’) && dynamic_sidebar() ) : else : ?>
      <li id=”about”>
      <h2>About</h2>
      <p>This is my blog.</p>

      <li id=”links”>
      <h2>Links</h2>

    <?php endif; ?>

    </div>

    Please help as I love the program and want to diet this blog up and running ASAP.

    I also had changed the blog to its own directory. But everything worked well before that.

    Strangely it appears to work OK on this page https://monarchhousing.org/Blog/?page_id=2

    Why is that?

  • Don’t copy/paste formatted text (i.e. from Word, from another website) into the terrible wysiwyg editor.

    Look at the source code of your post where the fonts start to increase: there are zillions of font and span tags in it… which never get closed, so they get applied to the rest of the whole site.

    Are we copying and pasting from Word or something similar?

    Don’t.

    Here’s how that posts starts:
    <font size="3"><font face="Times New Roman"><font face="Arial" size="3"><span lang="EN" style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial">This article was in the LA Times </span></font></font></font>

    I’d wager that you have some mismatched font tags in that post and they are progressively wreaking havoc on the rest of the blog.

    Might take that post from the post editor and copy it to a plain text editor (Notepad works). Then copy/paste from the editor back to WP. That’ll strip all that gunk.

    Weblog_Client for alternatives.

    Yes I had edited them in Word – fool that I am.

    I did as you said and used text Pad. it works now.

    I will redo all of the posts that way to be safe.

    Is there another way to get the fonts to always match?

    I did the text editing. it looks better now and seems to work better.

    However, the web links I had do not work. How can I get these to work?

    Is there another way to get the fonts to always match?

    Match what? Even if you edit your text in Word, copy/paste it into a plain editor (like Notepad) and from there into WP. It should work. One more step but less headache…

    (A radical solution is disabling the wysiwyg – which I did and I have never had problems like yours.)

    Which links don’t work?
