Template problem
-
I’m currently using the Adreas 04 template. The posts are to be on the left, but for some reason mine have shifted over to the right, then half the page is empty, then the posts pick up on the left at the bottom of the page. I’ve posted several new articles, and it tells me in my dashboard that they’re published, but they’re not showing up on my main page.
Any ideas as to what I can do?
I had this problem before and totally switched templates, but now I’m having it with this template.Thanks!
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Please paste the exact URL of your blog when asking questions here, or link your nickname to your blog (as explained in the Sticky 8 Things to Know Before Posting). We can’t help without that.

I’m assuming this is their blog:
http://positiveleo.wordpress.com/Did it happen after you posted a new post?
Try looking at this article:
http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/writing-settings/Try following the steps under “Formatting” to fix incorrectly nested XHTML.

Yes, it did happen after I posted a new post and yes, PositiveLeo.wordpress.com is the URL. It showed the url in the question field, so I assumed it posted it along with my comment as well. Sorry.
I did as stated in the formatting section of that article. Is it supposed to do correct it automatically after that?

You’re not the only one who can use Google. When we ask for a blog link, there are reasons why we do so. Try to respect that.
@imagoddessru:
Unfortunately the URL you fill in when starting a thread here doesn’t transfer to the actual post (as you now know): it only serves for detecting and auto-responding to non-wp.com users.
Your missing posts are published alright – here they are:
http://positiveleo.wordpress.com/2009/10/12/2-dogs-join-a-revived-stamford-police-canine-unit/
http://positiveleo.wordpress.com/2009/10/12/texas-sheriff-declines-to-adopt-tasers/
http://positiveleo.wordpress.com/2009/10/12/walton-sheriff-gets-largest-grant-yet/
Weird thing is they’re invisible when on the front page; never seen that before!
Activating the option “WordPress should correct [etc.]” will take care of future posts – it doesn’t automatically change previous ones. For it to have an effect on posts already published, you need to edit them (for instance add then delete a letter or a space) and update them. Try that for your latest post and see what happens (you’ve got some bad html tags at the end, but I doubt that’s the cause of the problem).
-
Yeah, I noticed that when I clicked on them individually in my dashboard that they showed up, but not on the front page, as you said,
I tried a small edit and updated but the page is still coming out the same.
-
If you set the blog to display only one post per page you can page back until you find the post that’s been causing problems, because all the others will look normal. Then you’ll have to go to the HTML editor of that post and look through the tags and correct any weird HTML errors. It’ll be one of the posts that’s currently on the front page.
-
Now that I tried that, it will ONLY show the four new posts that I added and will only go back and forth between them.
-
I went through all of the posts on the dashboard one by one until I found the post that came up incorrectly and I deleted it. Seems fine now.
Thanks for all your help!

You’re welcome. You should be able to retype the post or use Paste as Text to add the text back in, then add formatting, images, tags, categories and title and republish it. You can often find a cache of the posts on Google, if the blog’s not private.
