div codes suddenly moving when I edit anything!

  • Unknown's avatar

    My blog theme’s standard print is a pale gray on white (Bueno), so I always change each post to medium black before I publish, by adding div style=”color:#333333;” at the beginning of the post, and closing it off with a /div at the end of the post.

    All of a sudden, whenever I do any kind of minor edit to a previously published post, the post reverts to all pale gray print below my “more” tag! And sure enough when I check in the editor, the /div tag has moved right up to just in front of the more-tag. No way to move it back down to the end of the post, it just jumps back up to before the more-tag. This never used to happen, is completely new. (Almost all my posts have a more-tag.)

    Apparently I now have to add a second html color command after the more tag and another /div at the end of the post. Twice as much work as before…

    Is this a bug????

    This is annoying, not fatal, but why should I suddenly have to make two separate color commands or whatever this is called (sorry, I really don’t know the correct lingo!) one before and one after the more-tag???

    I am always editing my past posts, so it looks like I’ll end up having to do this little chore for 3 years’ worth of posts…

    And is it only the more-tag i’ll have to do this around? So far I’ve only had to edit two posts, so I’m wondering if this bugaboo is going to pop up around other html commands, too???

    Is there any chance this can be fixed?

    Oops, here’s a link to one of my posts, showing the change to all light gray after the more-tag. I will have to fix this at some point but will leave it like this for illustrative purposes for a little while…

    Sorry to bump, but it’s been over a week, and this is still happening.
    I finally fixed the post that I linked to above (added in another pair of color commands after the ‘more’ tag), so the font color is consistent now.

    But as I keep editing other posts it happens to each of them, which is getting a little wearing.

    Is this a new problem with the ‘more’ tag?
    Do I now have to put in the color change twice in all future posts?
