Main page misformatting

  • Unknown's avatar

    Hey everyone,

    I’m having some trouble with the appearance of the front page of my blog (cmroman.wordpress.com). If you scroll part way down the page, the posts become misformatted (they appear very wide instead of the normal width) and the widgets are at the bottom of the page instead of on the right sidebar.

    Doe anyone have any suggestions for fixing this?

    Thank you so much!

    Cristina

    Typically this is caused by an open HTML tag in one of your posts. You will have to locate it and close it. The reason your sidebar has fallen and is displaying below your posts is either due to copying and pasting or It can also be a result of importing text containing invalid HTML.

    Go to Settings > Writing and select “ ___ WordPress should correct invalidly nested XHTML automatically” and then scroll down and click “Save Changes.”

    Now, starting with your latest post, open it in the editor, make one minor change such as adding a space and then deleting it, and then click “Update Post.” Check your blog and see if it is back to normal.

    If it’s not, then look for an open HTML tag and close it. Check your blog again and see if it is back to normal. If it’s still “messed up” then open the next post and do the same thing post by post until it goes back to normal.

    If you have been copying and pasting text then please see here so you know how to do this correctly in the future. http://en.support.wordpress.com/visual-editor/#pasting-text
