• Hi
    I am trying to change marked text to a header setting but the whole paragraph gets changed instead. This is driving me crazy and is really annoying. Yes, I know I can place the closing </h1> correctly in the HTML but this is for a client that should not need to code in HTML.

    Any suggestions on how to fix this?
    (Using WP 4 and theme TwentyTwelve)

    Thanks in advance!

  • Hi there!

    Have you considered using Advanced Custom Fields plugin? It breaks a page up into sections very nicely and makes it very easy for your client to update. You could have a field for the page title and another for the address and wrap each ‘behind the scenes’ (in your custom page template) with whichever html tag you wanted, and of course any classes or ids, etc that you may want to use to style in your css.

    Your client would see something like this in the dashboard:

    Here is the plug-in link:

    I don’t think the ACF plugin is relevant here.

    This sometimes happens when the two pieces of text are only separated by a ‘soft’ return. Place the cursor at the beginning of the address and use backspace until it is on the same line as the heading. Then press enter (do not hold shift or control while pressing enter). The two should now be separated and be able to styled accordingly.

    Ah! Yes, I agree with karpstrucking. ACF would be overkill in this instance. 🙂

    Thanks for the reply. The problem with doing it as you suggest karpstrucking is that it gives me an empty line in between the two lines of text. I want the header to rest just on top of the text below. And also the client shouldn’t need to think about these things.
    Why is the editor so weirdly sensitive? Should I try ACF or is there another way?

    What you’ve described is very likely not related to the editor, but to the CSS being applied to the header.

    Okay, sorry. I understand what you’re saying. Any pointers to what I should change in the H1 css section? Thanks!

    Either margin-bottom or padding-bottom.
