my blog is http://museumexhibition.wordpres…
Have obtained a premium theme called "headlines" which i would like to apply but when activated my tags are shown all over the place (they flow over in the next posts - hope that makes sense?).
Would anyone pls be able to advice as i would love to apply the premium theme but naturally without the errors.
Thank you in advance guys !!!
Jess ;)

If it's a premium theme, the theme creator should provide you with support.

I have written to them already but recieved no reply still - i cannot activate the theme without the issue being resolved sadly (maybe i am just a little 2 impatient ;(

Perhaps this theme is not so premium after all

So far that seems the case ukit as i am still using the "free" but "working" theme, shame though i would just love to resolve the issue.
Probably is something simple - altough i haven`t spotted it yet (but i have no wordpress skills rather than pushing the publish button) hmmm ...

Can you post a screenshot of the porblem. I have a feeling it could be a lack of float-clearing id the tags are at the bottom of a post and end up going over the next one.

I have activated the theme for a little while ( http://museumexhibition.wordpres… ) it shows the issue clearly.
Thank you for trying to assist orrinward ;)

Maybe they just didn't expect you to have that many tags. That's a number huge of tags on each post:)

Way too many tags, just looks like some sort of lame SEO spam.
Are you auto generating them? Get rid and use a content search instead IMHO
- more tags than actual content on that page FFSanimatedgif

I understand what you mean ukit - something i will have to change. I just assumed the more tags the better - but it does look messy, altough this wasn`t an issure with my free theme, so never gave it 2 much thought.
t already overflows after 3 tags though - i have played around with the premium theme - in the hunt for a solution and when i mark a feature post (but only on that 1 feature post) the problem is resolved, all the other post still look like chaos though.

the problem is just the amount of tags you have. the blog isn't designed to show that many.
Why would you want that many visible tags anyway? If this is for SEO purposes, put them as meta rather than as tags.

No i just type them out ... so if i reduce the tags the problem might be resolved ?

Thank you orrinward. Am i able to do this on a blog hosted on wordpress ? Where do i change the meta tags if i may ask.
- orrinward0
A simple change to the CSS to remove the tags from showing, but keep them in the page content:
.post-bottom .tags {display:none}
That way it'll only show the categories, and not have the massive overflow.

Even if the tags were for SEO they just make your entire blog look like some auto generated spam site.
Get rid, 5 or so tags per post should be enough

That looks a lot neater.
- ecodesign0
It does look a lot better - if only i could alter it that swift - struggling a bit in css @ present
- ecodesign0
It seems i need to Custom CSS upgrade - but i did a preview and it will work - thank you so much for your time to assist me ... very kind of you !!

It is in working order now - Thank you again orrinward !
