text running outside main blog post box

  • Unknown's avatar

    The text in some of my blog posts is running beyond the white frame for the post. How do I keep it inside the box? Or can I make the box larger?

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    If the text is running outside the blogging space provided by your theme then you are copying and pasting from elsewhwre into your blog. If you have been copying and pasting text from elsewhere without using either icon 5 or icon 6 in Row 2 of the visual editor, please see here http://en.support.wordpress.com/visual-editor/#pasting-text

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

    Next to turn all your recent posts to drafts, you go to Posts > All Posts, tick the little square to the left of “Title” to select all the posts on the screen, select Edit from the Bulk Actions pulldown, click Apply, select Draft from the Status pulldown, click Update; then select Published and click Update again.

    It’s not the text in “some” of your posts, it’s the text in all your posts except the latest one when you view the main posts page, not when you view each post alone; the reason is bad HTML in the latest post that messes the structure of the main page. You need to select the option timethief suggested, but you don’t need to edit all your recent posts: just the latest one.
