CSS Question and Support Help
 

I am having an issue ith my wordpress theme

The text is running down the homepage from the featured article when it is only supposed to be showing a snippet.

I barely touched this site in 2 years.

Is CSS causing the issue and why would it?

I tried disabling all the plugins but it made no difference.

Help?

Could be css. Could be php. Could be javascript. Hard to tell by looking at a scrambled mess of a screenshot showing no code.

What's wrong with the screenshot?

What code do you need?

Is the container box a css block? Is the block suppose to have a css truncate with ellipsis? Is the text suppose to be manually snipped as an excerpt in WordPress? Is javascript or jquery truncating the text for you? Is php truncating the text for you? Is a custom function suppose to truncate the text for you? Was it removed accidentally? Was the template changed by accident to show full content when it was to display the excerpt?

How can I tell any of that from your screenshot?

I have no idea what you just wrote...

Is the container box a css block.... umm yes, I guess
Is the block suppose to have a css truncate with ellipsis? .... Pretty sure you just made this up
Is the text suppose to be manually snipped as an excerpt in WordPress? Pretty sure YES
Is javascript or jquery truncating the text for you? ....No idea
Is php truncating the text for you? ....Probably

Is a custom function suppose to truncate the text for you?... What does truncate mean again?
Was the template changed by accident to show full content when it was to display the excerpt?... Maybe. I didn't touch the site for couple of years until today and didn't get a good look at whether it was doing this before I started messing with it.

Cool...well, you provided no additional information/url/code at all to allow me to provide any help. Good luck with your issue.

Geez, you are playing hard ball. I asked you in post #3 what code you need.

If you asked questions in laymans terms rather than riddles it might help.

Seriosly. I also posted on DP but at least hear I get answers even if they are unhelpful.

For the snippet part, you may want to change the wordpress code to show_exercpt() or whatever it's called.

You could have learned CSS inside out and backwards instead of making 3k posts. :2 cents:

Hard ball? Layman's terms? You come here for free help and don't provide the html/css/js/php for an issue you are having? You don't understand basic terminology for running a WordPress site? You are a webmaster?

Yes this is cleary all my fault that you would prefer to stay ignorant than to help yourself.

In your template, replace <?php the_content(); ?> with <?php the_excerpt(); ?>

Then make sure each post has an excerpt written for it (can be automatic or manual depending on your theme).

Yap, definitely looks like an excerpt issue
