Text editor not working

    I have yet another issue using Wordpress on this current theme (was not developed by me, and I have been trying to figure out what is going on). the editor itself on the dashboard is working, but what is on the editor doesn't appear as it should on the single.php page. What am I doing wrong? Is this a common mistake? Check out one of the single pages if you want here. I looked over everything I could think of and nothing has been resolved. The formatting on the paragraph (color and size) is correct, while the spacing as well as the headings are wrong. There should be more space, which I've tried adding to the css itself with no luck.

    You have a CSS style problem with floating your images, I suspect. Hard to tell you what that problem is without seeing the actual page (you used an image to show the problem).

    My bad. I was looking at another thread and no sure how I did it, but ended up posting my comment into this thread... doh!

    My apologies.

    To answer your question, what you see in the Visual Editor is not what you will see in the front end. The editor is a general representation of what will be there. The actual frontend post will always be different and you need to adjust your Theme's stylesheet to achieve what you want.

    How would I go about changing it? I mean this thing is FAR from even close to accurate. I've made themes before that were fine, but this one is really messed up. Text spacing between paragraphs don't work, font-size doesn't work, nothing. I've never really used custom coding for posts in css, and never had a problem until now. Any suggestions?

    That is weird, now I know why I made my original comment. I normally browser with javascript off (FF Extension) and when I turn scripting on, your page changes drastically. (Thus my comment about your page just being an image, which I thought it was at the time.)

    The theme you are using is FUBAR. It is really bad. Heading elements are not used properly. My lord, the Subscribe and Login forms at the top of the page have H2 Headings (WTF). Whoever styled the thing was using heading elements just to get "bigger" font-sizes.

    Then there is the feature slider, which is really buggy and I am getting images all down the sides of the page.

    My suggestion is that this theme is NOT fixable and you should shop around for another one.
