I had to put this project on hold for about a month and now I'm back and making some changes. I am trying to make changes to the font color, weight, underline, etc for widgets and poas\page items but nothing is taking. I then looked on another site of mine using Atahualpa and all the statements were stacked up like:

padding: 0;
margin: 0;
text-align: center;
color: #8B1A1A;
font-size: 1.6em;
font-weight: normal;
text-decoration: underline;

In the site I'm working in, I can't get a second "row" no matter how hard I try..pasting the above in, using CTRL + enter, shift+ enter, etc..

Maybe I need to upgrade to the latest Atahualpa? I'm on 3.4.1

I know I need to upgrade wordpress - I'm on 2.8.2 so that could maybe be it? I'm just afraid it's going to be a nightmare..have never upgraded wp before on a site.

Any help would be great - this is driving me nuts..I just wasted half my Saturday trying to change a font color..what a nightmare

I was hoping this was something recognizeable with an easy solution - I guess not. To be clearer. If I go to ATO > Style Widgets > Widget Title and then enter:

font-size: 1.4em;

and now I want to add color so I try to add below it so it displays like this:

font-size: 1.4em;
color: #B40404;

The problem I'm having is I can't get the second entry below the first - normally the "field" resizes vertically as you add items but it's locked at one row. I have tried adding the entries along the line in the same row as in:

font-size: 1.4em;color: #B40404;

but that does not seem to be working. I guess I just should back everything up, update WP to the latest and reinstall or reactivate Atahualpa and try again.

what version of PHP are you using?

5.2.6-1.el5.art

I have a dedicated virtual server at Media Temple and that's what the value is in my Plesk interface under Server components > PHP

I've had this theme installed for months and have been in and out changing these values with no problems - All of a sudden I'm having this issue and I can't figure out why. Thanks for loking at it...

by any chance do you have the plugin 'events calendar' installed, if so, deactivate it and see whatr happens.

If not, try deactivating all your plugins and see if it changes.

I dont have that plugin but I'll try deactivating the plugins ...thanks for the suggestion..

I have had this problem too and must not have written the question so it could be understood as I never got an answer - I thought I was nuts. Instead of the code vertically I continually enter it horizontally and/or I've copied/pasted from notepad.

My problem became when I went to edit the code I never knew what was "hidden" so I always (ctrl-a) select all (ctrl-c) copy and paste into notepad. Its the only way I can see whats there.

I was working on a sidebar issue I was not able to see all the information unless I copied and pasted - finally I had to take a break from it.

Let me know if you get it fixed.

Thanks,

This is one of those ?!@! questions. I think it is a conflict with something, but not sure what, it could be the browser, a plugin, version of php, wordpress, java. All I know is I can't recreate it on my system. If one of you want to send me a PM with your url, an id/pw I'll see if it happens to me - running a mac using safari.

Well I just got on DoxFox's site and I have no problem resizing the boxes. I'm starting to wonder if this is not a JAVA version issue on your local computer.

On the dashboard of WordPress in the QUICK Post section, you should be able to resize the post box. Atahualpa has noting to do with this, so if you can't resize that box, then it's not Atahualpa causing the issue.

Hi Thanks for the info - I had to run out of town on a last minute consulting job - back now. I just went to my dashboard and in the "Quickpress" section, I added one letter in each row and kept hitting enter for a next row, enter a letter, enter, etc and when I entered 4 or 5 rows, I did get a resize and a vertical scroll bar showed up on the right..is this what you were asking?

I had started uninstalling some plugins and updating others - will continue with that to see if that fixes the issue. Just so frustrating to get hit with something so obscure right when I'm trying to get the momentum back on this project..

I have never tried upgrading to a new WP version on any of my sites yet - I could try that but I'm a little worried about it being a long, rough process..

Juggledad - I'm brand new to the forum..you obviously have a strong presence here - are you the main developer of Atahualpa?

Thanks!
Thomas

Yes the quick press box is what I was asking about.

re - upgrading
I haven't run into any problems updating wordpress of Atahualpa. That said you
1) backup everything before you begin - just in case
thats, the database and contents of the wp-content folder along with wp-config.php
2) only upgrade one thing at a time
