@Bruce – The theme has no control over how your editor’s copy and pasted text will be processed by the WordPress editor. To the best of my knowledge, the most you will find is the styling of the built-in TinyMCE editor; and, that function was just added with the release of WordPress 3.0 (although other authors have used plugins and extensive code to change its functions in the past).

The extra line spaces are again a function of the copy and paste from your editor into the WordPress editor. I can appreciate you may prefer this method but it is not one I support; and I also appreciate the insight to creating an em dash by simple keystrokes alone … I may start using it myself.

Edward, I’m writing another post for my daughters and remembered that there are two other oddities to pass along (in the coding). 1. Whenever I want to use an elongated dash, in most WordPress editors, I just type in two dashes and it converts to an elongated dash. However, with this theme, I have to always add three dashes to get the same effect. It’s not a big deal. I can easily type in an extra dash. But my word processor always redlines the three dashes . 2. Whenever I paste my text in from my word processor, it always adds an extra line between paragraphs that I have to delete. Again, this isn’t a biggie. It takes only a moment to delete a few extra lines. But based on your earlier comment, I thought you’d appreciate some feedback from an actual user.

@Bruce – You’re welcome; and, thank you for the feedback on the font size! It is much appreciated and I will take it into consideration for future updates.

Edward, thanks! I’ll do that. I also changed the text size back to before this last update. 14 pt. just seems too large. So, I’ll keep a little cheat sheet of changes to make when the updates come out. Thanks for your speedy reply! And thanks for a perfect design for my site http://www.lettersformydaughters.com. It looks perfect for a dad talking to his daughters!

@Bruce - What you are seeing is the_excerpt() function, which is used for all of the pages that display "archive" posts. This differs from the_content() function which is what you are describing and how the main page information is displayed. Your installation of the theme can be edited to display the information in the form you are referring to, but these changes may be over-written by future theme updates. To edit: simply replace the_content() for the_excerpt() as needed.

Quick question. When I click on a category or a date on the calendar, the next page only lists the first few sentences of each post. However, I’d prefer that the whole post shows up. So, where can I make that change? Under reading settings I have the button selected for full text vs. summary, but that doesn’t seem to affect the results of the category or date search function.

Thanks!

P.S. And thanks for this theme. My daughters both love it!

Love your theme, but I want to turn off the meta menu. It’s not there (the widget) to begin with on the right, after theme install, so I can’t figure out how to make it go away.
