text getting cut off at bottom of page

Hi Meghan,

I’ve just looked into the source code of your About page and found something odd at the bottom of the article. It looks like you’ve wrapped the last part of your paragraph’s text inside strange-looking links:

<a comments"="" href="https://nppa.org>National Press Photographers Association (NPPA)</a> storytelling workshop, where I was able to further develop my reporting and photojournalist skills. </p> </div><!-- .entry-content --> </article><!-- #post-39 --> <div id="> </a>
<h3 id="comments-title">
<a comments"="" href="https://nppa.org>National Press Photographers Association (NPPA)</a> storytelling workshop, where I was able to further develop my reporting and photojournalist skills. </p> </div><!-- .entry-content --> </article><!-- #post-39 --> <div id=">
</h3>

If you didn’t work on the code in the page template file itself, you should be able perhaps to fix the issue by going into the About page editor, deleting the last part of your text, updating the page, and rewriting the text without using any links or extraneous markup.

I hope this solves the issue. If not, post back with more details on what you’ve done.

Cheers!

Hi Maria Antonietta! Thanks for your quick response. I have not changed any code on the page template file (that I know of at least) … I just created the page from the wordpress dashboard and used html in the text window to create the links. This is what I wrote on my end:

“Some of my most memorable career moments include sitting front and center in the courtroom of the Casey Anthony trial, interviewing Florida Governor Rick Scott about the shooting of Trayvon Martin, and being awarded with a week-long National Press Photographers Association (NPPA) storytelling workshop, where I was able to further develop my reporting and photojournalist skills. “

If you look at that particular page page, you’ll notice it cuts off after “week-long”… I’m guessing I need to edit a php file or create a “custom page template” (which I’ve been reading about), but I’m very new to CMS and am not sure where to begin. Do you think this could be the problem?

When I “inspect element” in google chrome, I noticed my “<div class=”entry-content”> is set at 842 px x 537 px … Do you think this might be the reason it’s limiting the page size? If so, do you know of any solutions?

I greatly appreciate your help!

There’s no set height in the CSS code. If you haven’t touched any code it should be possible to resolve this from the page editor. Please, try rewriting that chunk of text without using any links and let me know if the paragraph get cut off. Thanks!

Wow! It worked! That was a simple solution. I took out all of the links on the page. Thanks for your help!

You’re welcome, Meghan.

You can put back the links making sure the markup doesn’t get messed up. You can try doing this using the Text rather than the Visual side of the page editor. This is the markup for the link:

<a href="https://yourUrl">all your linked text goes here</a>

All the best!
