Why is certain text being deleted?
-
Certain text from my post is being deleted as I save/update the post.
The text in question is “Psalm 97” without quotes. At the end of my entry “9 Months On” I copy/pasted the entirety of this Psalm in my blog, adding bolding to the last verse. the only issue I am having is that at the top, no matter how I enclose the text, “Psalm 97” is deleted between hitting “update” and the update being published. Please help.

It sounds like you’ve got a copy/paste problem. Before you do anything else, go to Settings->Writing and select “WordPress should correct invalidly nested XHTML” and Update.
Then go back to the draft you were working on and try again.

I’ve typed in, not using copy/paste (I only used the copy/paste for the verses themselves) for the text in question. Will select that option (though I am using html mode and not visual) and see if it helps. Thanks!

http://www.joseph-a-nagy-jr.us/images/problems/blog.pngI’m using the HTML editing mode, I have the option selected to correct incorrectly nested XHTML, I would like to know am I losing my mind or is this a bug I need to report to bugzilla or whatever.

Inneresting. The only thing I can find is this:
<p>Psalm 97<br> The Lord reigneth; let the earth rejoice; let the multitude of isles be glad thereof.Clouds and darkness are round about him: righteousness and judgment are the habitation of his throne.</p>You see the p tag before the name of the psalm? you end with a br instead. Try switching it to a closing p and then open the next paragraph with a p tag.
I have no idea what would have caused this, or even if this is related, but it’s unusual. Maybe your blog is just haunted.

I see it, but again, I don’t have any p tag in the vacinity. I limit myself to formatting tags such as strong or i or any of the h* tags. I’m going to see if I paste the post into a plain-text editor and a paste back in will fix.

I copied into gvim, added ‘Psalm 97’, cut/pasted back into editor, same problem. No bueno.
