I found it. I had a plugin called wp-Typography, which I had activated but not used yet. As soon as I deactivated it, the issue went away. There must be a conflict between the typography settings in the template and the plugin–makes sense. * Usually I keep plugins deactivated until I’m ready to use them-I dunno why this one was still on, I wasn’t even remotely using it. * Good work! * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [[Pinboard] Slider vs Blog Layouts](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/slider-vs-blog-layouts/) * Thread Starter [phyllisrae](https://wordpress.org/support/users/phyllisrae/) * (@phyllisrae) * [13 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/slider-vs-blog-layouts/#post-3593616) * That option was already checked. * The issue was that in some instances it (the checked option you described) was working–others, it wasn’t. * 1) If I have the blog page actually assigned as my posts page in “customize”, it was working (removing posts from the loop). * 2) BUT then the slider would appear on BOTH the home page AND the posts page ( which I did not want). * 3) Then, if I removed the “posts page” assignment to my blog page and just used a blog layout instead, the sticky posts would return whether the option was checked or not..however, this got rid of the slider on that page. So my problem was that I could either have a blog page with portfolio posts (did not want) OR a slider on my blog page with no portfolio posts in the loop, and only one blog layout option (also did not want). * What I wanted was to have: * -the blog page -have four columns -no slider -no portfolio posts in the loop- still have a slider on my home page, which is NOT for posts/blog * It didn’t seem to be doing all of these at the same time as long as the slider was activated on my site. * The slider would show up in BOTH the home page AND the blog page at the same time, but only if I activated the blog page as my “posts page” in customize. If I did NOT do this, it would allow me to use the “blog” page any way I wanted, but wouldn’t get rid of the portfolio pages from the loop. * I ended up un-checking the slider option, and the issue seemed to resolve itself automatically even though the posts were still sticky. * I have no idea why and I’m not sure I even care anymore. A lot of the problems I am having pertain to the slider and related settings so I think I’m just going to remove it for now and focus on other aspects of the site. * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [[Pinboard] Quotes Look Funky](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/quotes-look-funky/) * Thread Starter [phyllisrae](https://wordpress.org/support/users/phyllisrae/) * (@phyllisrae) * [13 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/quotes-look-funky/#post-3593025) * The first quote, from Brenda whats-her-name, was from Tumblr. It doesn’t show up immediately on the front page and you have to let some of the older posts load. * The other ones (that are at the top, with Picasso and etc) I added directly from dashboard (but as plain text) as a result of noticing the error. I made sure to paste them as plain text to make sure that nothing weird would happen, and it still kept happening. * So… it would seem to me that the errors are being caused by the quotes, not resulting from them, but I don’t know. 🙁 * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [[Pinboard] Quotes Look Funky](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/quotes-look-funky/) * Thread Starter [phyllisrae](https://wordpress.org/support/users/phyllisrae/) * (@phyllisrae) * [13 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/quotes-look-funky/#post-3593021) * I added that afterward I think, but I’ll try it again. Maybe I have to reinstall the theme? Hmm…. * …Nope. That was only applied to one quote, and all of the quotes do it, including the one that I uploaded from Tumblr. Maybe it’s just a glitch, then..I can’t think of any other reason why it would happen. * If I uninstall and reinstall the theme, though..I need to back up what I currently have first, right? Do you think this would help perhaps get rid of the issue, whatever it is? * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [[Pinboard] Quotes Look Funky](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/quotes-look-funky/) * Thread Starter [phyllisrae](https://wordpress.org/support/users/phyllisrae/) * (@phyllisrae) * [13 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/quotes-look-funky/#post-3592872) * [Here’s a link to a screenshot of the issue in case you aren’t seeing it on your end…](http://i1300.photobucket.com/albums/ag96/phyllisrae/ScreenShot2013-03-24at102046AM_zps81c0953a.png) * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [[Pinboard] Quotes Look Funky](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/quotes-look-funky/) * Thread Starter [phyllisrae](https://wordpress.org/support/users/phyllisrae/) * (@phyllisrae) * [13 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/quotes-look-funky/#post-3592871) * Yeah..it’s displaying extra characters I didn’t enter. I just typed a standard quote, with regular characters, like, example: “Hello, I’m a person. – Me” and when it shows up on the list of blog posts, a bunch of extra superfluous characters are added that don’t belong there. * If you click on that post, the weird characters aren’t there anymore. It’s just in the preview of the quotes, and it’s only when I have a quote post. It doesn’t show up on regular posts as far as I know. * My most recent quote shows up like this: * “Test­ing my quotes –Me” * Even though I didn’t put any of those special characters there. It’s supposed to just say, “Testing my quotes – Me” and I posted it there that way because one of my earlier quotes from Tumblr was doing the same thing. I thought maybe it was an error on Tumblr’s part from the transfer, but it isn’t. * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [[Pinboard] Quotes Look Funky](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/quotes-look-funky/) * Thread Starter [phyllisrae](https://wordpress.org/support/users/phyllisrae/) * (@phyllisrae) * [13 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/quotes-look-funky/#post-3592869) * I’m not really sure what custom CSS to add to fix this issue. It only seems to be doing this if I use a block quote (aka, press the quote button and write up a quote), which is also an HTML block quote in the code? If I take this away, and make it a quote-formatted page, but don’t have the actual quote coded as a “blockquote”, nothing shows up. It’ll be blank on the main “blog” page and then when I click on that post, it’ll show up as the permalink. * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [[Pinboard] Quotes Look Funky](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/quotes-look-funky/) * Thread Starter [phyllisrae](https://wordpress.org/support/users/phyllisrae/) * (@phyllisrae) * [13 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/quotes-look-funky/#post-3592866) * Yeah, I have a construction page up for the main site…I have a menu bar up that leads to the blog page. That’s where the issue is occurring, not on the main page. * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [[Pinboard] Quotes Look Funky](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/quotes-look-funky/) * Thread Starter [phyllisrae](https://wordpress.org/support/users/phyllisrae/) * (@phyllisrae) * [13 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/quotes-look-funky/#post-3592863) * Oh, I also wanted to add that this is only happening on the preview, not on the actual permalink once you click on the post.
