Are you adding things to that page on regular basis?

Yes. I do both of these things. It will fix the area I correct, but another area will automatically wrap.
I can have it all looking the way it should and save it, and within a couple days (if not sooner) it will magically wrap itself once more.

Line breaks in the visual editor are done by holding the shift key down while pressing return/enter.

If you are doing it in the "text" tab in the editor, then use this break code:

Note the space between the "r" and the forward slash.

If you look at the referral pages, such as this one.. http://birthcarenetwork.com/4-2/birth-doulas
You'll notice Debbie Bruns is right after Ashley Benz's email. I can put a line break there then it'll happen somewhere else. It's never ending.

On a slightly related note, I thought maybe I could change the format completely but I can't get table borders to show up.

You're a savior! That two column coding seems to be helping quite a bit.

Like I said, I did not design this site, I'm merely trying to create an issue that was there before I came in.

It's still not perfect, but that's definitely made things more manageable so far.

Thank you!

That's because the whole thing is a mess, and a mess inside a table at that. In some cases where the name is a link, the closing strong tag is right after the name but the opening strong tag is before the opening link tag, in a few of those cases there's a line break between the name and the closing link tag... Needs patience.

By the way, you don't even need tables for this arrangement. You could use coding for two columns instead. See this post of mine:

Ok.

Well, I add line breaks, then they mysteriously disappear. It's the most bizarre thing.

I didn't say anything about adding p tags. You work in the so-called "Text" editor, and you just make sure there's a line break (no blank line) after each line of each item, and a paragraph break (blank line) after the end of each item. Entering line breaks and paragraph breaks translates to br tags and p tags in the sourcecode, by plain br tags and plain p tags are hidden from view in the editor. You add actual p tags only if they should include attributes.

Well. I just went through the entire doula page to remove extra strong tags, add < p > tags, etc. and when I copy from my text editor and paste in the text box in wp, all the p tags are removed.
This probably explains why when i've manually entered p tags in the past it didn't alleviate the problem.

1) There's a lot of useless strong tags: you need to remove most of them (leave just one opening/closing pair around each name).

2) Turn these two:


to just:


3) These are wrong:

HEADING HERE


First, left alignment is the default so the first style is useless. Second, span tags are used for characters or words inside a block, not for the whole block. If you had to modify the h2 in the Text editor, you'd add the rules in the h2 tag itself:
HEADING HERE

But you have the Custom Design upgrade, so you should write plain h2 tags and modify them in the CSS editor instead.
4) After you make these corrections, just make sure there's a paragraph break (blank line) before each name or linked name.

I am familiar with coding. Mostly traditional html but can navigate css and such with guidance.
I didn't create this. It's a page for an organization which I'm now part of and volunteered to help with the site.

a) Nothing strange about this: some names show up next to the previous email address because there's no line or paragraph break before the name.

b) There are several mistakes in the code of the page. Before I make suggestions: are you familiar with coding? (And how exactly did you create this?)

If you scroll about halfway down on this page You'll notice the listings start to wrap together. (I don't want that)
This page (at the time of posting) is not doing that. Currently.

It SEEMS the problem occurs when I click over to the text edit tab during editing (but it happens on all the pages of this type) 
What the heck is going on?

Suggestions on best ways to correct it? or alternatives.
TIA.

Hi

I have embedded a google map in my site.  Does anyone know how to float it so the text wraps around it?
thanks!

Thanks for the solution but there should be another way to address this problem. One that doesn't require me to enter extra characters.

 I vaguely recalled you previoiusly answering a question like this before - bookmarked!



thesacredpath on "Oxygen theme title word wrap"
thesacredpath — Thu, 31 May 2012 19:52:23 +0000
This happens because wordpress automatically inserts a non-breaking space between the last two words of a title or sentence to keep from having "orphaned" single words on a line. Edit the post and between the last two words in the title, remove the space and put the following in (without the spaces in between the characters) and update the post.

That's definitely an unfortunate break and wrap. Please hang in there as I have flagged this thread for Staff attention.

My latest blog post using the Oxygen theme has strange wrapping for the blog post title. Please visit my site and look at my most recent post. The "r" in the word "behavior" wraps to the next line. If the "r" wraps, the entire word should wrap.

You are using "pre" tags which keep whatever formatting (and line length) the original has.
Use the sourcecode short code for posting code.

Lines of code in iTheme2 extend beyond the margins into the sidebar and beyond. Previously I had used Freshy, which would enclose the code in a scrollable area. The code just looks horrendous with iTheme2—is a fix planned for this?

By the way, you need to correct your username link (Users > Personal Settings: scroll down to Account Details, paste right URL in the Website field, click Save Changes).

It's possible on all themes, but it needs some coding in the HTML editor.
If you like the default look of blockquotes in Mystique, use this:


QUOTE TEXT HERE

You can change the 40% to adjust the relative width of the quote box, and you can change the 24px to adjust the space between the regular text and the left side of the box.
If you don't like the default look of bqs in Mystique, tell us how exactly you'd like your bqs to be.
