It looks like my wordpress blog post are no longer separated into separate divs. Like all the content is just thrown into the same div. What could have happened?

Thanks

I would look at the template. Either index.php or blog.php - maybe something got changed. Did you update a theme or a plugin?

Well, there is a missing closing after this paragraph:

Try to correct that, if you have access to your html just remove the two
(that I cannot see in any other posts) and add a

Matteo

PS: I don't think the posts were ever enclosed in divs

Matteo

Sorry, the code got mangled: I meant a closing

</p>

and remove the two line break

aaronheine

No I didn't change any php.
Do you know exactly what part adds divs around the post?

This looks normal. <?php if ( have_posts() ) while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>

I dont have a blog.php, maybe when I installed it was called single.php?

Matteo

Check your latest post as per my previous instructions! I think you messed up the html.

aaronheine

Closing didn't work.

TheDoc

Well, if you didn't change anything, I'm guess there were no divs around it in the first place?

So you're saying you haven't changed ANYthing and then just out of no where you visited your site and it was screwed up?

aaronheine

Maybe you are right, looking back at the Starkers Naked theme there are none.

But yes, I was just adding and previewing a new post I was writing when I noticed the problem.

Matteo

Have a look at all my previous comments... you missed a closing paragraph tag.

aaronheine

Paragraph tags are self closing. That has never been a problem on the blog. But I closed the first 3 post anyway.

Seems like each individual blog post should be wrapped in a container such as

<div id="post-357" class="post-357 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-events">
......................
</div>

...or something alike, but they're not. This is usually defined in loop.php I believe. Might want to check if that file has been updated recently?

Senff

Another thing that's possible.... Since ALL posts are wrapped in a div with ID "blogPost" (singular!), perhaps your list of blog posts is using the wrong template? Maybe one that should only be used for single posts instead of a listing?

If you have a specific page that lists the posts and you can select a template in the admin, you may want to check there.

aaronheine

Yea actually I dont think the post are separated in divs. My personal blog is built the same way and it is not separated into divs.

aaronheine

I noticed that if I put a clear float at the end of my post it fixes that post. Where would I insert that clear float in the PHP so that I dont have to place it at the end of every post?

TheDoc

I would actually just wrap them each in a div and then you can put the clear on the div itself. Would need to see your loop in action to provide you exact code instructions.

aaronheine

By "In Action" you mean the actual loop?

Since your original problem was "It looks like my wordpress blog post are no longer separated into separate divs", it would indicate that eacho post USED to be in a seperate, individual div, no?

Putting clear floats at the end of each posts may make look things good again, but that's not the solution to your problem -- it's more like a workaround. Like @TheDoc says, the way to fix this is to wrap each post in its own div.

Anyways, I'm a bit confused cause I'm not really sure what it's supposed to look like to be honest...

EDIT: If you add:

<div>

as the second line of code, and:

</div>

as the second-to-last line of code, each post would be wrapped in its own div already I think.
