Title: Text large on certain posts Last modified: August 18, 2016 --- # Text large on certain posts * [jopcloud](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jopcloud/) * (@jopcloud) * [18 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/text-large-on-certain-posts/) * I cannot figure out why certain posts have larger text, or font, than others. It isn’t just the text inside the post, but the subject heading of the post itself. check it out: [http://www.towardpraxis.com](http://www.towardpraxis.com) * If I change themes, the the same thing is present, so it is not a css issue with specific themes. Strange thing is, when I view a big text post as a specific page (by clicking the post heading), it is just fine (as a single page), but not on my index page where it is large. * Also, the same thing applies for the stuff in my side bar. On my index, the text is large (even the Search box), but if I click on my About page, the sidebar stuff is normal. * Someone please help me get my index page back to normal!

The first two (latest) are normal, the reamaining are large. What about the sidebar stuff being large on the index file, but not under different pages? How would my leaving tags open in posts affect the actual post headings? I do not have control over the size of post headings. * [moshu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/moshu/) * (@moshu) * [18 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/text-large-on-certain-posts/#post-584530) * You are wrong on multiple accounts… * Nothing is ever self-evident. Once a tag is left open it will affect **everything** on that page that comes after it! (basic html 101) When viewing a single post( not the one screwed up) the open tag is not there – so it displays correctly. You have control over everything in your blog. * Thread Starter [jopcloud](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jopcloud/) * (@jopcloud) * [18 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/text-large-on-certain-posts/#post-584537) * You’re telling me that a tag i leave open in the body of a post can affect the size of the post’s actual headining, and side bar items? Again, how does that explain why everything looks fine under certain pages [http://towardpraxis.com/blog/?p=88](http://towardpraxis.com/blog/?p=88)( post and sidebar are normal size) * but not under index file [http://www.towardpraxis.com](http://www.towardpraxis.com)( both are enlarged). * ? * Are you guys even reading my posts or responding in haste. I appreciate the interaction but would like it more if you answered my questions. Don’t assume I know basic html either. * [moshu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/moshu/) * (@moshu) * [18 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/text-large-on-certain-posts/#post-584539) * Yes, I am telling exactly that (with a small correction): if you leave a font tag open – it will affect everything that comes after, including the title (you call it heading) of the next post(s) and the sidebar and the footer… since those all come in the code AFTER your post. * And I already explained why on single posts things look OK. It is my turn to ask: do you read the replies carefully? * Your question was answered a long time ago: go and eliminate the validation errors. * And if somebody wants to own a website – somehow I always assume they are willing to learn the html basics: [http://www.w3schools.com/default.asp](http://www.w3schools.com/default.asp) * Thread Starter [jopcloud](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jopcloud/) * (@jopcloud) * [18 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/text-large-on-certain-posts/#post-584544) * take [http://towardpraxis.com/blog/?p=88](http://towardpraxis.com/blog/?p=88) for instance. * 1. I have checked that post many times and every tag in that post is closed. * 2. Your comment “When viewing a single post (not the one screwed up) the open tag is not there – so it displays correctly,” is off the mark. Of course the single posts which aren’t screwed up display correctly! I’m worried about the screwed up ones. The same post is fine as a single post, but not in my main index page. I’m waiting for an helpful explanation on this. * 3. Yes I read the replies, but get more confusion rather than clarity for the above reasons. Why would I be concerned with why there are no open tags on a not-screwed-up post? I want to know why on a screwed-up post, there tags are apparently closed in single page view, but open on the incex page. * 4. Scripting blogs don’t exactly qualify as basic html! * [moshu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/moshu/) * (@moshu) * [18 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/text-large-on-certain-posts/#post-584549) * Your “screw-up” starts in post #90 with this text: * > This text is one of the most commonly cited in support of the imputation of > the active obedience of Christ. For Robert Reymond, in his most excellent one > volume systematic theology, the “fact” that these verses refer to the active > obedience of Christ is almost self-evident and without need of argumentation. > Continue reading ‘Active Obedience Not In Romans 5′ * Just for the sake of experiment: delete/cut it from your post – and (if no other similar bad code exists) it should take care of what is below it. * Don’t copy/paste from word processors, other websites… into the visual editor. Ever. * Thread Starter [jopcloud](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jopcloud/) * (@jopcloud) * [18 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/text-large-on-certain-posts/#post-584555) * thank you! I had pasted from a pdf file in a few of those posts. I tried what you suggested and it fixed that post. Then I found some wierd font tags in the next post ([http://towardpraxis.com/blog/?p=81](http://towardpraxis.com/blog/?p=81)), and removed all tags. The result was that it fixed everything else (as you said, everything underneath it.) What confused me was in a normal html page, I could see how an open tag could affect things under it. I had trouble seeing how in a file that “gets” its data from differnt files, that could be the case. But, as you said, it was. * Thanks again! * [whooami](https://wordpress.org/support/users/whooami/) * (@whooami) * [18 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/text-large-on-certain-posts/#post-584580) * oh and your welcome 🙂 * Thread Starter [jopcloud](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jopcloud/) * (@jopcloud) * [18 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/text-large-on-certain-posts/#post-584595) * thanks whooami!
