Adding a block on Content
Permalink
Ok I have a page and I want to add a block of content. I Choose "Content" because I want to use the WYSIWYG editor so I can have HTML and plain text on the same page. The issue is that everything I add to the content block is a link...
I can highlight the text (the word I have there now is "test" and it shows a link and I cna hit the unlink button but when I save and publish it is a link to the root of the site.
I am missing something here...I know it is me...con someone help please?

Everything looks normal in the editor....but when I update it is all a link to the root of the site. I just want plain text below the picture. I don't want it to be a url...

The editor is probably not at fault here. I was looking at your code and I wonder if you have changed something in the theme because some of your areas are wrapped
...and this is just after a quick look. You also have code between <head> and <body> which should be in a <div> inside the body instead.
So everything you put in your layout (header, sidebar, main etc.) will be shown as links no matter what block you put in.
<a href="/"> <div class="spacer"/> <div id="header-area"> </a> </div> <a href="/"> <div id="central" class="no-sidebar"> </a>

I am taking the site over from someone so what you are saying could be very true. I did alter the Header to put a facebook and twitter logo there but that is it.
The code snippit you posted? What does that mean? I just want things back to normal!
:)

What version of C5 do you have? There is a new version available as of October 6 (5.4.2.2). If you upgrade your site would go back to normal as this is a slightly modified core theme.
Read this upgrade information first:http://www.concrete5.org/documentation/installation/upgrading_concr...
Make sure you have backups.
Download latest version from here:http://www.concrete5.org/developers/downloads/...
After the upgrade you should copy the "default" theme found in "c5 root directory" > "concrete" > "themes" and place it in "c5 root directory" > "themes". Rename the newly created folder to match your site (DNA_Racing?)
Now go into dashboard > Pages and Themes and activate your theme. Now all changes you want to do to your theme should be made in the files contained in your themes folder (and not in concrete/themes). That way your changes will still be there the next time you upgrade.

Sorry I didn't answer your obvious question...
The code snippet above basically says that everything should be considered as a link.

adajad,
Thank you o much for your help...what file did you find that code in?
I did a backup of the DB and now I am pulling all the files from the site.
What would you recommend I do to get things going without loosing my changes? As I am new the upgrade path seems daunting...and I really don't want to loose anything.
I removed the Plain Yogurt theme....I would like to install it again but can't seem to find it.
Thanks again for your help!
