incorrect published version after editing and update
-
Hello Forum Helpers, Hope someone can help me please! I’ve just spent 12 hours creating and editing my first blog feature. The version I see in my dashboard, and when I “preview changes”, or “view post” are correct. But, when I enter the url in a browser the version that appears is different and riddled with mistakes I remember to “update” as I’m editing. Can someone please tell me how I can publish for public view the exact version I’ve edited? Thank you, sincerely, L. Prince
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Can you give us the direct URL of the post with the problem? Since we cannot see what you see in the dashboard, can you get a screen capture and post it for us to see?
Did you try refreshing your browser window after loading the direct URL?

Thanks, justjennifer. Sorry, of course you need the url.
Problem url: http://klangundduft.wordpress.com/
almost correct, but words I’ve centered are now to the left, and uneven spacing problems. This version seems to be LOCKED into place, because no matter what I edit, this version still appears.
Correct version from dashboard: http://klangundduft.wordpress.com/2011/01/23/klang-und-duft-klubwasser-club-beats/
But with many space lines that I don’t want. If this version would publish without the lines, I would be sooooo happy!
Thanks for any tips! : )

a) Are you using the buttons of the Visual editor or are you adding HTML to style your text?
b) Re the centering problem, that’s a quirk in the theme you’re using: h2 on the front page displays differently than it does when you view a single post. For consistent results, you’ll need to use p or div tags instead of h2 tags for your headings.
c) Re “space lines”, you need to be more specific.

Thank, pana.
a) I’m using only the Visual editor to style text.
b) ok, I understand what you mean, but I don’t know what h2, p, or div tags are. I’ll google all, and learn…
c) In the version that is correct, tons of green lines are visible that I didn’t place,
i.e. when I space between text and a photo a green line will appear. -
Are there any other quirks I should know about with the template I’ve chosen?
I like the design and can live with the centering problem. Thanks! : ) -
Can I make a suggestion, if you’re not already doing it. Write your text first in the Editor and style it afterwards.
Even in the page source of the individual post I’m seeing boatloads of extra coding. Any chance you’re pasting from MSWord or another word processor?

Re your a: The Visual editor is somewhat limited; if you want absolute control over every detail, eventually you’ll need to learn some HTML. Also, the Visual editor can mess things up when you perform multiple operations on the same text, for instance when you highlight a phrase to center it, then highlight the same phrase to color it etc: doing that means adding code upon code, not necessarily at the right point or the right way.
Re your b, see here for an example of what HTML tags are:
http://wpbtips.wordpress.com/2010/05/23/html-allowed-in-comments-2/
When you press the button for Heading 2, you enclose your selection in h2 tags (meaning: turn that selection to whatever the designer of the theme specifies for Headings 2). Paragraphs are enclosed in p tags, sections are enclosed in div tags. To avoid the centering problem in this theme, you need to avoid styling your headings as Heading 2: write them as normal paragraphs and color them yourself.Re your c, I’m not seeing any green lines. (What browser and version are you using?)
Re your other question: the latest post is highlighted by displaying in larger font size.

Thanks Jen (I’m not using Chrome). Now we’ll have to wait till lamontprince answers your crucial question!
