    I’m trying to figure out where in the code my theme keeps blocking my mark up. I can code <b>bold text like this</b> and unordered lists, but when I submit the page, the text appears as normal. I’m familiar with code but I haven’t the first clue where to look for the script to change this. It’s also preventing anything like lightbox, or shadowbox to work properly. Any help is greatly appreciate!

  • you don’t give many details as to where this happens.

    assuming that this is on the front page, consider the possibility that your theme is using the_excerpt() to show the posts (part of the posts).

    you may need to investigate a different way of showing your posts, probably using the_content() instead (in index.php(?))

    I’ve mostly removed the tags in an attempted to just keep things orderly. Tags like <b> and <i> work. *sorry! but <del> does not. Nor do any of the lists ordered or unordered, I’ve thrown a quick sample of all this up on the most recent post (about umbrellas) http://www.cleverminx.com

    I’m not to familiar with the excerpt or content, so if you or someone could basically show me what I need to change in it, that’d be fantastic. Thanks so much 🙂

    also, like I mentioned before no lightbox or gallery plug-in works, so I’m not quite sure what to do there, I’ve created a myriad of other blogs and the UL and galleries have all worked fine so I’m unsure whats going on here, if its the theme or something else…

    it’s even simpler – for whatever reason there is this line in style.css right at the beginning, suppressing a lot of styles:

    *{margin:0;padding:0;text-decoration:none;list-style:none; border:0; outline:none; }

    delete it and quite a few styles should be visible.

    i don’t think though, that this will help with the lightbox.

    excellent! I can’t believe I didn’t catch that! o.O

    Right, now the lightbox issue. hopefully I can figure out a way around that.
