Het there,
recently I noticed how when I used a “Special heading” in a blogpost that gets cut instead of being automatically responsive to the page layout:
See this example: http://vacationrentalsecrets.com/social-media-seminar-july-4th-2013-london/
You’ll notice how in this case below the image and title, there is a table that shows up partially behind the sidebar. Same thing happening for the headers, so I found a workaround by typing the headers inside the blogpost, then assign H2,H3,H4, etc, but clearly it shouldn’t be that way.
How come? What’s the fix?
Thanks!
Hi Ismael, it took me a bit to find a good example.
Here is a screenshot of what happens with the special heading:

I inserted an initial header using the regular H1 tab within the visual editor, then I inserted the same text used in the header to reproduce the same H1 header using the “special heading” button in the wand tool option.
As I select the blog right sidebar, you can see what the issue is: the special heading apparently does not “detect” the sidebar and disappear partly behind it rather than readjusting to the new space available:

How can it be fixed?
Thanks for the great help.
Hi abortolotti,
The special heading really isn’t designed to be that long which is why it does that. In the demo, any time any header text is a long sentence its inside its own text element and set as an h2,h3 etc. Since the special heading is more for clean simple design it has css to keep it from having line breaks.
So you can change that by adding the following CSS to your Quick CSS (located under the Styling Tab in the theme options) or the custom.css file in the css folder of your theme files:
body .avia-special-heading {
word-break: break-all; /* webkit /
word-wrap: break-word;
white-space: pre;
white-space: -moz-pre-wrap; / fennec /
white-space: pre-wrap;
white-space: pre9; / IE7+ */

The code doesn’t seem to work either, Devin…
I may have to either give up or look for someone that can check whether my site has some cracks or not. But the thing is I don’t know anyone reliable who can take a look at the site and diagnose the problem…
Thanks anyway.
Antonio
Hi,
I stuffed Devin’s example with some extra goodies, and also two letters of the class name weren’t showing up, so please try it now.
If you need to find a freelance developer, there are a number of reputable locations. You mentioned that something is cracked on your installation? It’s not the theme I hope, lol.
Thanks,
Nick
Hi Nick,
I just saw your reply and placed your CSS in the quick CSS, thanks! As soon as I am adding a new blogpost, I will write back here in case the issue is coming up again.
Long ago I turned to Elance to find reputable freelance developers, but despite the awesome reviews some of the top ones had and the super money they charged, I got burned more than once, hence I am bit frustrated and don’t have that much time anymore to spend in looking for a reliable developer. So I am forced to do everything myself (which I don’t love because I’d rather spend time doing other things) and I am not tech savvy, so you can kind of imagine how I usually feel everytime I have to put my hands on the site.
You did a great job when you worked around a couple of issues on my site, however your fix were all gone once the new update of Enfold was released. So I was back to the beginning.
Also, you told me you noticed that my site is not indexed at all, so whatever appealing the site is, it’s kind of useless if nobody finds it! And I am running around in circles to try and understand how to rank it… working with Yoast and SeoPressor plugins, they seemed to give me great feedback, yet I can’t find my blogposts or pages anywhere in Google… :-(
Antonio
Hi!
Did you try to submit your sitemap xml file (which can be generated with Yoast SEO) to google via the google webmasters interface?
Regards,
Peter
Hi Peter,
no I haven’t. How do you do that? HOw do you generate the sitemap xml file and submit it to google?
Thank you!
Antonio
Hi,
You need to signup for Google Webmasers Tools https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/home?hl=en&pli=1
Once you are all set , you will be able to see how your site is indexed by google as well as lots of other info. One of the menu options is to submit a map. Sitemap is generated by Yoast plugin and the instructions are on the Chrome dev tools page. You may also want to sign up to google analytics http://www.google.com/analytics/ and then you will be able to link up to your Chrome WEbmaster Tools account with Analytics to really get good data on where and how visitors find your website.
Thanks,
Nick
Thanks Nick,
I added my site to Webmaster tools and verified it.
For some reason I can’t understand, I am not able to generate the sitemap. When I click on Yoast within the site and click on “You can find your XML Sitemap here: XML Sitemap”, it reports me a 404 – Page Not Found error message.
The Url Yoast generates for the sitemap is the following: http://vacationrentalsecrets.com/sitemap_index.xml
when I add the /sitemap_index.xml to Webmaster tool and click on “test” Google returns the same 404 Error.
Any idea on how to solve this?
Thanks
Antonio
Hi again Nick,
I downloaded a plugin called XML Sitemap Generator for WordPress 3.2.9 and I was able to create and submit the sitemap to Google.
Thanks.
Antonio
Hi,
Hmm. Perhaps there is a bug with the plugin. Please try this one. http://wordpress.org/plugins/google-sitemap-plugin/
You can always just use this free service to generate it. http://www.xml-sitemaps.com/
Thanks,
Nick
