DynaBMan Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 Has anyone been able to get Opera 9.5 working good on Wordpress? I would like to be able to use Opera on my Wordpress blog, especially since the Presidential campaign is getting into full swing, but it is simply to quirky to write a blog post and know how it is going to come out. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buu Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 I have literally no idea what you are talking about. Do you mean so that Opera renders your webby correctly? (if ur wordpress is valid (which it should be) it should work fine in opera..) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(if ur wordpress is valid (which it should be) it should work fine in opera..) What I am talking about is the way the blog editor works. It is almost impossible to write a post and know how it is going to come out. I can switch to code view to insert a code and when I switch back to visual, some of the post has just disappeared. In Firefox, it works perfect, but in Opera, you never knew what is going to happen. It displays the blog correctly, but when writing a post, it goes crazy.

Rappy Veteran Posted December 15, 2007 Veteran Share Posted December 15, 2007 You can just select "Save and Continue Editing" and then it will have preview there for you to click. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EvilSeph Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 9721 is quite stable for me. I didn't try with the previous build but WordPress is working perfectly for me now too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serious Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Does the html code for the posts differ from the code you get when writing using Firefox? I've found that Opera uses the <p> tag to enclose paragraphs while Firefox does not, this of course changes the layout of the entries. However, I defined the <p> attributes in the design code for my blog and now I actually prefer the customizability of the tag rather than having it plain with Firefox. Check it out!

EvilSeph Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 Hm..not too sure what you mean there. Could you perhaps..elaborate or provide screenshots or something? :) That, and my WordPress is not standard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serious Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Hm..not too sure what you mean there. Could you perhaps..elaborate or provide screenshots or something? :)That, and my WordPress is not standard. Wow, sorry for the late reply. When writing an blog entry (at a swedish blog community) in Firefox the code looks like this: Whatever<br />Whatever2<br /><br />Whatever3 while in Opera, the same text looks like: <p>Whatever</p><p>Whatever2</p><p>& nbsp</p><p>Whatever3</p> Obviously, if the <p> element isn't specified accordingly in the style sheet you will get different results using Firefox or Opera. I've asked at the Opera board as well as here at Neowin how to change the defaults in Opera, but haven't got any replies. The solution for me was to specify the <p> tag in the style sheet and now I actually prefer the customizability of the "new" tag over the simplicity of not using <p> :) I hope you understand this time, kind of hard since english isn't my first language... :$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilSeph Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Hm, what version of Firefox and Opera are you using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serious Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 (edited) Opera 9.50b and Firefox 2.0.0.11 Note that the above is true for Gmail as well. Try it out your self! Compose a new message in Firefox and another one in Opera, send both to yourself. Read the code by pressing the arrow to the upper right and select "View original". The Opera code contains <p>, Firefox's does not. Edited January 9, 2008 by serious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

night_stalker_z Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 Try using Opera 9.25 since its the latest stable one. It might not have the bug there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DynaBMan Posted January 20, 2008 Author Share Posted January 20, 2008 Try using Opera 9.25 since its the latest stable one. It might not have the bug there. Since I started this thread, I have switched over to Linux and I have found the latest Opera 9.5 builds to be quite good with Wordpress. It has it's own little quirks, but nothing I can't deal with. What is amazing to me is how much difference there is in running Opera on Windows XP and Linux. Linux runs it a lot smoother. Go figure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
