blog format changing when editing
-
Hello, the format of my blog keeps sporadically changing when I go to edit page. Without me touching ANYTHING on the page, strange things happen to my format. Of course, if I then make the amendment that I need to make and press update, it also updates the new random format that wordpress has somehow created in my edit page.
Currently it has taken all the paragraphs out of my post and changed all my footnotes from being displayed as:
1
2
3
to:
1, 2, 3
Does anyone else have this problem? How can I stop this from keep happening? It’s costing me a lot of time having to re-format it again.Thanks very much
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi,
Are you using the new editor (Beep Beep Boop) or the old editor? If you are using the new editor, try editing a new blog post from the Dashboard via Posts > All Posts then under your post name, click Edit.
Are you using the Visual tab or the Text tab?

If you are using the Text tab, try the Visual tab instead or vice versa.Let me know if that works!

Hey there, thx so much for getting back to me. By editing in the dashboard, as you suggested, the issue has now been resolved. Thx so much, I’m sure this has saved me hours of pain going forward…
Timethief, thx for getting back to me re footnoting – I have managed to work it out after weeks of investigation – such a weight off my mind to finally have it done. I used the following website although I have to say, it took hours of careful concentration to work out the coding! :-)
Thanks very much
