Automated appears in Home Default first animated numbers box

[GreenBook2015]

Hello,

I am using the Home Default page on my site. The first animated numbers box (members online) automatically adds a   whenever I make a change to anything on the home default page making it not align with the other boxes. I have created a new box as well as duplicated both of the other two boxes that will stay in place. I don’t know what could be causing this, I didn’t change anything to the content except the color. The numbers are even still the same. What could be causing this?

You have paragraph tags at the top of the first box.

I have no clue how that got there. But what exactly does that mean?

There is a <p> tag on top of the box and I have to open a .css file to delete it? I haven’t messed with any .css files yet so I couldn’t have put it in there. How do I find where this <p> tag lives and off it?

Those boxes are Text Blocks. Hover over it, click on the pencil to edit. Switch to text view and you’ll see the paragraph tag at the top. Delete it. Save. Done.

But that’s my problem. I will delete it and save and it will take. And then I will do some edits on another part of the homepage and save. And when I check the front page again, the &nbsp tag (<p> tag if you’re looking with elements) will repopulate even though I deleted it. And this keeps happening. Any reason why it would KEEP appearing after I have saved and deleted it?

greenbooksocialclub/test is where the site lives

once you make the change to the text box, save and you will see that it takes. Now if you go back and either do edits elsewhere or even just open the text box and resave or close, you will see that the <p> tag magically appears again. The key is to save twice, the first time everything will appear normal, the problem is it won’t stay that way.

Thanks for your help. I appreciate it!

I think it has to do with all of the unclosed center tags you have from content above the animated numbers. You’re confusing it. See attached.

That was it! Apparently my bad habit of not closing center tags came back to bite me – it created 16 closing tags for my 8 sections because I didn’t close my tags. It must have push the next block off which kept creating the misalignment. And I wouldn’t have thought to check the text editor in classic mode so you showed me a new way to check errors. Appreciate you taking the time to look into that!

Anytime 🙂
