 * Hello Zulf
 * Could you help me – on the Posts pages I don’t seem able to add paragraphs/format
   the text at all; I can do on the pages, just not the posts – can you help?
 * Many thanks
    Sally

 * Hello Sally,
 * Can I ask which mode of the editor you use to enter your content?
 * Normally in the visual editor you would just enter your content and a carriage
   return would insert the paragraphs for you. If you are in the text mode then 
   you might need to add an opening `<p>` at the beginning and a closing `</p>` 
   at the end of each paragraph.
 * Are you using any plugins that might interfere with the editor at all?

 * Hi Zulf
 * I’ve tried both – and the <p> code in the text editor but nothing works!
 * I did install a couple of plugins yesterday – a category orders one (Category
   Order and Taxonomy Terms Order), the CSS one you mentioned and also Envira Gallery–
   would they affect it? If it’s the category orders one, is there a way to order
   the Quicklinks to posts shown on the homepage?
 * Many thanks

 * Hi Sally,
 * Without actually testing each plugin out I couldn’t say for sure of they are 
   the cause or not. Could I ask you to deactivate them all accept for the CSS one
   and then check if the editing issue is resolved?
 * If the above resolves the issue you can then reactivate each plugin one at a 
   time while checking to see which one causes the issue.
 * However, if the above is not the solution then do let me know and I’ll look in
   to further for you.
 * Regards,
    Zulf

 * Hi Zulf
 * I’ve deactivated them all and it still won’t let me do any text formatting, in
   either the text or the visual editor.
 * Would you be able to look into it?
 * Many thanks

 * Hello Zulf
 * I tried to leave a ticket via the link you left but I don’t think it worked; 
   however the website does seem to now allow me to format posts so I maybe don’t
   need to bother you about that!
 * Could I ask two more questions;
 * 1. How can I make the title of the Ridizain Recent Posts in the Primary Sidebar
   larger?
 * 2. How do I make the ‘Read More’ link shown in each post on the homepage link
   to the actual post? At the moment it just refreshes the homepage.
 * Many thanks for all your help,
    Sally

 * Hello Sally,
 * Sorry about the issue with the ticket system, not sure why that didn’t work.
 * As for your queries.
 * 1) We now have a plugin for fonts and colors on most of the elements of the theme–
   [Styles: Ridizain](http://ridizain.com/ridizain-styles/) will help with both 
   text size, fonts and the font color.
 * 2) That should work automatically unless there’s been some changes made or a 
   plugin that is causing the issue.
 * Could I have a link to the site to take a look and hopefully give some pointers
   to get it working? Also try resetting your permalinks to see if that helps.

    Zulf

 * Hi Zulf
 * Thanks again for your help – I’ve tried resetting the permalinks but that hasn’t
   helped and they definitely don’t seem to work automatically.
 * The site is [http://www.onehundredpercentchallenge.co.uk](http://www.onehundredpercentchallenge.co.uk)–
   any advice would be much appreciated!
 * Best wishes

 * Hello Sally,
 * The problem there is you are running on older version of the theme that had a
   bug on the read-more button link.
 * That bug was fixed in the follow up version as seen here: [http://themes.svn.wordpress.org/ridizain/1.0.17/changelog.txt](http://themes.svn.wordpress.org/ridizain/1.0.17/changelog.txt)–
   could you please update to the latest version which has a lot other bugs fixed
   plus more enhancements included.
 * You can see the full changelog here: [http://themes.svn.wordpress.org/ridizain/1.0.20/changelog.txt](http://themes.svn.wordpress.org/ridizain/1.0.20/changelog.txt)

 * Hi Zulf
 * Thanks for that – I will update but before I do; if I update the theme will I
   loose the website I have created/will I have to start the website again? Sorry
   I’m a bit of a novice!
 * Thanks

 * Hello Sally,
 * No, you wont loose anything in terms of content 🙂
 * You may just need to pop into the Customizer once you updated just to flush out
   the transient but everything should stay as it is.
 * If anything doesn’t seem right or you need assistance just give me a shout and
   I’ll do my best to help.
 * Regards,
    Zulf.
