    I’ve seen my own child fall apart on epilepsy meds (gov sponsored depakote, diazapam, clonazapam, lamictal, topiramate etc…..my source is my own child’s medical records and the little zombie kids in the neighborhood doped up on ADHD meds etc……I HOPE this isn’t censorship.)

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

    If you copy and paste from a different program (like Word), and don’t write your posts directly into the Add New Post text box, some stray coding could affect the font color.

    Go into your Dashboard > Posts > All Posts

    Find the grey post and open it as if to edit. Switch to Text and look for an open tag.. something like < or >, anything that doesn’t look like normal text. Remove that and hit Update.

    Hopefully that is the easy fix.

    I don’t believe WordPress would be censoring your content.

    Thank you! I didn’t write anything bad, so I couldn’t figure out why just one is like that. I did open it under html, as visual didn’t show me anything. I’m just having trouble finding what I’m looking for. It’s an older post and I haven’t modified the html in any way. I’ll look again, thanks!

    To prevent it from happening again, go to Settings->Writing and select “WordPress should correct invalidly nested XHTML” and save. That will fix all future missing or extra tags.
