Top 5 Reasons for Page “Warps”
We’ve all had occasion to edit or create a new page only to find that there is some warped weirdness in the way that it looks when it is published. Here are some of the reasons for this:
- Forgetting to close a tag in your HTML. HTML tags need an opener like < > and a closer like </> . If your page doesn’t display a side bar or looks funky in some way – check for this error in your html view.
- Forgetting to select a page parent from the drop down list on the left side of your editing screen called Attributes: Parent. Select the drop down and scroll to choose the page that is one level above yours (the page that yours fits directly under in the navigation).
- Including comment code. For example—if there is any “comment code” in your post <—something like this—>, it can create a problem. If you see a comment like this, just delete it or ask us to have a look.
- Importing heading tags from another source like <h2> </h2>. These heading specifications will be different for our CSS (Cascading Style Sheet) and may display too large and ugly. Just remove them if your text looks weird.
- No line breaks <br> </br>. WordPress tends to strip out the line breaks. This can be problematic when you need space between an image and text. If you are having a problem with this. Please post a message in Basecamp and we’ll come up with a fix.
