# Partial formatting problem but not CSS issue

 * Apart from my blog page which is fine, I’ve lost the correct text formatting 
   and spacing on most of my pages.
    You’ll see on the above page that apart from
   the text being incorrectly formatted (compared to the home page/blog), there 
   is html code before the photo, for example.
 * I am using the ari theme.
 * To try to fix the problem I have just replaced my CSS file in the ari directory
   with a clean/never edited style.css file taken straight from the ari theme download.
   Yet the formatting problem is still there.
 * I did try a few different themes recently. Maybe that has corrupted some files.
 * I find this a little bizarre, as I thought all style issues could be fixed in
   the CSS file.

 * Try re-uploading a fresh copy of the complete theme using FTP.

 * Thanks esmi.
 * I tried that. No luck, unfortunately.
 * I’m starting to think the database has some sort of error. It now doesn’t seem
   to matter which theme I’m using, the site has these problems.
 * I have also just created a test page. It is formatted incorrectly (compared to
   the perfectly fine home page).

 * hmmm.
 * I suppose the problem in my solving this is also related to the fact that I’m
   new to WordPress – and don’t actually know where to look for the html file which
   lays behind say the test page.

 * Ah, done it!
 * I de-activated and deleted a plugin and it sorted out the problem.
 * Can’t remember which plug-in though… am going to have a think, and hopefully 
   post the name of the plug-in here for future readers. After that I’ll mark this
   as resolved.

 * Nope, can’t remember the name of the plugin I deleted.
 * I’ll have to be more carefully in choosing plugins in future.
