When using the site origin editor, if i want to use the drop down menu for Heading 1, 2, 3, etc. It changes the entire text below it to that heading size as well. It is impossible or me to have a heading and directly below it use the paragraph format for normal text.

This is very frustrating is there a work around for this? thanks.

    Hi And_e30,

    Does this happen with the base editor? If not,

    This sounds like it could be a plugin conflict issue. Can you try disabling all non-SiteOrigin plugins and see if this fixes the issue? You’ll need to clear all your caches after disabling your plugins.

    If it does fix the issue, then try re-enabling your plugins one by one until the issue comes back. This procedure will help diagnose which plugin is causing the issue.

    Once we know that, we’ll be able to look at what might be causing the conflict and either solve the problem or help you find an alternative plugin.

    I did more research and it turns out that a page break is a default setting after any Heading in HTML.

    Reference this article:
    http://www.ironpaper.com/webintel/articles/how-to-prevent-a-line-break-with-an-h1-h2-h3-tag/

    Is there a way to implement a fix directly through the plugin I cannot find a way to modify my css script page to make this fix work.

    Thanks.

    Hi And_e30,

    Ah, okay – if you’re happy with that soloution I can help. It should be noted though that you don’t want to make the headers inline; you want to remove the margin.

    Do you have a public URL where we can take a look at your headers so I can write some CSS? If you need to keep this URL private from other users, just select “Private Reply” on the bottom right of the comment box.

    Hi Alex,

    An example is at the below link:
    http://bimmertips.com/diy-homemade-headrest-gopro-mount/

    Under the post for the Suggested Posts section, I wanted to make the Suggested Post title Heading 4 and the links under it Paragraph format, however when I set the Suggested Posts section to heading 4 everything under it defaults to heading 4 as well unless I put a break under it, which I don’t want.

    Thanks for your help!

    Hi And_e30,

    Okay, so the reason why everything else is set to an h4 is due to you not closing the h3 after that line. Basically, those links are a part of the header due to this. Simply close the h4 earlier to fix this.

    Alex, a couple comments,

    1) Why does the editor not close out heading tags by themselves? I am having to flip from the visual to the text tab to close out a tag by default?
    2) Once you close out the tag the visual editor shows a break between the heading and the text below, but once the page runs the break is not visible, why is there this discrepency? Try creating a test heading, highlight it and then picking the heading from the drop down and it defaults everything below it to the same heading and you will see what i mean.

    See below image for how the visual editor shows it but then when you update the page in a browser it does not show the space.

    Hi And_e30,

    1. WordPress doesn’t have auto closing tags by default. You’ll need to use a plugin to enable this. I’m not really familiar with any so I sadly can’t make a recommendation. :(

    2. That’s due to the margin being applied. It’s reflected differently due to the theme displaying it differently. It’s dependent on the theme to update to include editor styles to reflect differences, but most designers don’t.

    interesting, I did not know about the auto closing tags.

    it was driving me crazy but I didn’t go as far as to update the page and see how the browser view was different from the plugin view.

    thanks so much for the help!
