  Hello!

  I want a box around some of the text on my blog posts. I don’t want a border, just a filling in the box with a neutral colour. I’ve tried several codes but they won’t work – when I preview my post it only shows the code… Anyone who can help?

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

  Do I need to change the padding og line-height for it to work?

  Then you are not using the correct editor and/or you are not entering the correct code. I can say that with confidence because I use this in my own blog. Here’s an example where I used it http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2013/07/25/create-a-wordpress-website-step-by-step/
