My format is all messed up
-
I added a post today and somehow my format got all messed up. I copied some text from my “say WHAT?” blog and posted it in my lauramacky blog and now when I scroll down, the post below the most current one (the one where I pasted the text), everything is all messed up.
Can someone take a look at my lauramacky blog and let me know what I can do to fix this strange formatting? Thank you!

Here’s a pretty comprehensive guide as to how problems like this happen.

The short answer is when you copied and pasted from your other blog, some poorly formatted code came along for the ride.
You can also have your site fix problems like this automatically by going to Settings > Writing on your dashboard and clicking the box next to “WordPress should correct invalidly nested XHTML automatically” under formatting. (Don’t forget to save your changes.)

I tried the automatic way, saved it, closed my browser and reopened but I’m having the same difficulty. I read the troubleshooting but there is no strange text in my post. There was earlier but I deleted it thinking that would help but the issue didn’t go away.
I’m a bit worried only because I’m about to be gone for awhile and have some posts scheduled.
Can you let me know my next steps? Sorry to be such a pain.

Just to confirm, when you checked the post for strange text, did you click on the “text” tab in the upper right corner first? The code that can mess things up in your post won’t show up on the visual tab.
If you did that and still haven’t had any luck, I’ll tag this thread for staff assistance as they are able to peek behind the scenes and find the rouge tag and I cannot.

You must get tired of us not reading the entire post lol. THANK YOU! Clicking text worked. I appreciate it!! Have a good rest of the day. :)
