Since last week a long white block has appeared obscuring most of my posts. How can I fix this?

The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Wow! I see exactly what you mean and suspect you could have added some code that caused this. I will type modlook into the sidebar tags on this thread for a Staff follow-up. How do I get a Moderator/Staff reply for my question? https://en.support.wordpress.com/getting-help-in-the-forums/#how-do-i-get-a-moderatorstaff-reply-for-my-question Also subscribe to this thread so you are notified when they respond and be patient while waiting.

Hi sbird1,

This appears to be caused by some extra HTML tags in your ‘Industry collaborative funded PhDs in Applied Photonics’. I’ve uploaded a screenshot here:

You can view them all by switching to the HTML tab in the post editor.

I’d recommend copying the text from the Visual tab, delete the content from the editor and paste it back in using the Paste as Text button — this will remove an additional formatting and HTML tags.

Give that a try and let me know how you get on.
