Can you link me somewhere I can see the problem live?
Yes: http://www.askyoda.net/sample-post/
Looks like it’s some kind of default in Thesis 1.
FYI, I’m not a developer but have a very basic working knowledge of stylesheets etc and a very good working knowledge of Thesis 1. There’s nothing in custom.css or custom_functions.php that might be causing this.
Thanks for your help.

Hi, it’s very simple =]
Thesis’s layout.css has the following css rule:
abbr, acronym {
text-transform: uppercase;
}
To cancel it just go to Settings > Responsive Mobile-Friendly Tooltip Settings,
check “Use custom CSS?” make sure you don’t check “Replace original CSS?” and enter to “Your CSS code” the following:
abbr {
text-transform: none;
}
PS: If you like the plugin please add a review =]
I greatly appreciate your speedy response. Unfortunately, your hack didn’t work. I strongly suspect that I need to put something into custom.css. In Thesis 1.x.x, this is where you add code that overrides the default code.
I tried modifying layout.css using the code you supplied. The result was that the underlined text was upper and lower case, but in a small font. I tried including font attributes but that made no difference.
Thanks for trying to help.
Update: I’d abandoned Thesis 1.8.5 as there are header image problems in Firefox and IE. I’d gone back to it because I want a one column layout. But this experience has terminated my relationship with Thesis. Your lovely plugin works fine with Virtue (highly recommended) so I know it works and looks good. Now for yet another trawl through free WP themes (I’ve tried dozens, scores) to see if I can find something suitable.
Thanks for providing exemplary service.
My trawl was successful. On WordPress.org I discovered a great single-column theme, 100% free and with just enough options, called Decode: http://wordpress.org/themes/decode. Changed the background colour to white, added a header image, and voila: http://www.askyoda.net/sample-post/.
And, you’ll be happy to know, your plugin (tweaked so that the text is left justified) works just fine.
Thanks again, and keep up the good work.
Very best wishes from Bristol, UK.

A quick heads-up for anyone who’s considering using the Decode theme I mentioned in my previous post:
Some of the built-in shortcodes (e.g. Tabs, Accordion) don’t work; neither do some Ultimate Shortcodes (e.g. Tabs, although both Spoiler and Columns in Ultimate Shortcodes work OK).

Hi jack,
if you are interested in using thesis we can easily make it work, don’t switch a theme for that.
If you don’t want to use it anyway then I’m glad you find yourself a better suiting theme.
