Peep,

I had those errors too, the first time I downloaded and activated, hmm? We shall see come Monday, I guess.

UPDATE:

1. So, I’m crusin’ along building my website, about to add an item to a particular custom post type, … and pfffffft, there I see, UNDER THE ‘CUSTOM POST TYPE’ NAME, on the vertical WP Admin Panel, in the pull-down area, the label/name for my custom parent and child taxonomy!!!

2. I knew custom parent/child taxonomy existed, because I created them while in/on a post page, … but I could never find where their main access panel for editing and managing them was, … I stumbled across the menu/area/access just now.

3. Duh! Right where you’d expect it to be! LOL!

@rdell, and don’t think your comments above were null, at all, I just learned a little bit about ‘functions’ and how they fit into the whole scenario of the code/language, and how it works to produce what we see on the page. ??

I have been aware of this particular function you are calling out, but not how or why it did/does this activity, on the page.

Actually, I just got a better grasp on the meaning and use of ‘functions’ and ‘filters’ … I am going to keep reading and re-reading this snippet from you to absorb all I can from it. Gratitude.

@rdell,

Well now, I dunno, … what I was really after, and still am, was a bulleted list, single-spaced, just as you would get in a paragraph.

In order to get it, to display as I wanted, in, I suspect a hokey sort of way, I:
1. Typed in the bulleted list as usual,
2. Then came back around and removed the < ul >
tag at the top of the block, and at the bottom of the block, < /ul >
3. Which left numerous lines with the starting < li > and at the end of those lines, there is the < /li >, where I did a < br >, which WP promptly stripped right out, which is okay, the < /li > was sufficient,
4. And the but, is, that, when you switch over to the Visual Editor, the < ul > tag at the top jumps back in, and the < /ul > bottom tag jumps back in,
5. Which is telling me that this is not exactly how WP wants it done, but hey, I don’t want to go into php and css for this,
6. And this text is appearing inside of a plugin called The Events Calendar > Advanced Template Settings, … “and now you have the rest of the story”.
7. Dynamite plugin, by the way. ??
8. So, process that new info, and you tell me, should I really do more, even can I do more, with this situation than I have already done?
9. And lastly, when you add these snippets of code/language, don’t you label them, what they are, by putting a benign line above what the coding/language represents? I am a neat freak you know, and this carries to, especially how I would operate in these kinds of environments, php files and css activity, lol.

Thanks for chiming in RDell,
B

@woodson,

The 1em makes it too tight, but I will fool with it all some more. Thanks for coming to the rescue, and lending moral support and advice, appreciated muchly! ??

B

Ok, I capiche, will make that addition. ??

And what does the ’em’ stand for? Em, a measurement in ‘typography’.

@kerry & @leah,

After about two hours at a head bangers ball with Google as my date, I report JOY.

Here is the page that I was/am fiddling with … https://the-rv-life.com/rv-shows-events/ and remember this is using the Text Editor inside of the Advance Template Settings of the The Events Calendar Plugin.

After non-stop, back and forth, … I finally got zero spacing … by structuring like so:

<span style=”font-weight: bold;”>NOTICE: WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY ERRORS, OMISSIONS, CANCELLATIONS, OR ACTS OF GOD. PLEASE CONFIRM, CONFIRM, CONFIRM!</span>

<li style=”margin-top: 0 px; margin-bottom: 0 px”><span style=”font-weight: bold;”>FOR <span style=”text-decoration: underline;”>RV SHOWS</span> ONLY – https://the-rv-life.com/rv-shows-events/category/rv-shows/</span&gt;
<li style=”margin-top: 0 px; margin-bottom: 0 px”><span style=”font-weight: bold;”>FOR <span style=”text-decoration: underline;”>RV OPEN HOUSE</span> ONLY – https://the-rv-life.com/rv-shows-events/category/rv-open-houses/</span&gt;

<li style=”margin-top: 0 px;”><span style=”font-weight: bold;”>FOR YOUR <span style=”text-decoration: underline;”>CITY OR STATE</span> USE ‘SEARCH’ BELOW & TYPE IN YOUR CITY AND/OR STATE AND THEN HIT ENTER.</span>
<li style=”margin-top: 0 px; margin-bottom: 0 px”><span style=”font-weight: bold;”>FOR A <span style=”text-decoration: underline;”>LIST VIEW</span> OR A <span style=”text-decoration: underline;”>MONTH VIEW</span> CLICK ‘VIEW AS’ BELOW RIGHT.</span>

Geeeeeeeeeeeeeeeezzz!

And, there are < br /> at the end of every line, that the copy/paste just threw out the window, lol, no space to the left of the ‘b’ of course, had to put the space there to get this text to post up.

That part of the thread/question/issue is now handled and documented for anyone else who comes along and has the same issue.

B

You understand I wanted to lose the blank line space between bulleted lines, right?

Geeeeeeeeeeeeeeeezzz! JOY! We have JOY!

You can school me if you like, I know I don’t know stuff! ??

Tanks,
B

Hey Kerry … thanks for that, it’s more advanced than what I was looking for.

I have seen various renditions of simple html code that you can put into the Text Editor, to tell the margins to behave a certain way, that’s what I am looking for, simple, really simple, no php, no css. I’m still in grade school, lol.

B

@nora … you are probably new to the forums, which I understand.

You have, basically a new question, that needs a new post. What you could do is refer back to, via a link, to the old post, within your new post.

What ElectricFeet is kindof pointing out is that, the old thread is just that ‘old’ even though it was never closed/resolved, it’s still old, and needs to be left in the old/done/over pile … because info on these topics changes at a relatively rapid pace.

Now, if all this CSS stuff and PHP stuff if kindof new to you, well it’s hunt and study and read and learn and dig … and somewhere along the line, you get a foothold and start getting more and more familiar.

Keep your chin up,
B
