Blog post title changing it’s own fonts and adding links, very strange.

  • Unknown's avatar

    If you read my blog by simply entering the website, the blog post titles looks fine: gabriellalahti.wordpress.com

    BUT

    If you click on a specific blog post (or enter via the links from facebook) the blog post titles looks very very strange:

    http://gabriellalahti.wordpress.com/2010/12/14/a-pottpourri-from-twelve-months-ago-and-the-beginning/

    This has happened by itself and never used to be like this before. As you can see, something is creating links to older blog posts and is moving my post titles and changing its font etc.

    Can someone help, is this a CSS problem?

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    The blog post title looks perfectly normal to me. What is the problem you’re seeing, exactly? What SHOULD the title for that post be?

    The font of the title is changing when you click on that particular blog post.

    The font of the blog ports should look exactly like they do when you go to gabriellalahti.wordpress.com

    The text is not wrong, it’s the look (font has changed and words moved to the right) of the blog post title and those strange links around it I’m wondering about.

    You’re not going to like this.

    Your front page is HUGE. Like, so huge I can’t wait for it all to load, so I can’t give you any answers. you need to cut down the number of posts on your front page so it loads in a decent amount of time OR truncate your posts by using the Read More tag, so your front page isn’t swollen with hundreds of huge image files.

    Until that’s fixed, I can’t help you because I can’t see the website. And besides, it’s a huge problem on its own.

    Hi there,

    Ok done, five blog posts per front page.

    With so many images, I might even drop back to say two or three, but on to the problem.

    There are two issues. First is that some of your titles include non-breaking spaces which are messing things up

    See the   in the titles?
    
    A pottpourri from twelve months ago and the beginning.
    
    A nudist beach and sausage sizzle.
    
    It started with pomegranate and ended with wigs.

    You need to open the posts and type the titles in again and then “update” the posts.

    Secondly, you have declared fonts under .posttitle h2 a (which is the titles that appear on the main page) but have not declared the same fonts for the non-link titles on the single post page.

    You need to go into your custom CSS copy the font declaration from

    .posttitle h2 a

    and include it under

    #content .post h2

    Damn, the above is kind of a grammatical and formatting mess. Sure wish we has the edit function back here in the forums.

    Thank you, I fixed the font for the blog post title.

    Still it’s moved to the right and there’s a link above to a previous post. How do I remove that ?

    I tried to go and re-type the words for the title but still the link is above it and the text is moved to the right.

    One of the reasons the post title is moving to the right is that it has no top padding to space it down below the single post page previous and next post links. The following will get rid of the post navigation at the top of the single post pages. Add this to your CSS.

    .postnav {display: none; }
