Request: Two fixes for typography elements (one bug)

Posted in: Newspaper

Hi, folks
love 3.6 so far 🙂

Couple of minor things:
(1)
minor bug; when changing the background for top menu bar to lighter background, then setting the top menu color to darker font color, the DATE doesn’t get the darker color, and is stuck on white/light

as so

(2)
under custom typography, no option to set footer text to be ALL CAPS as can be done with other menu elements

Additional minor issue with footer text

When changing the responsive layout from
full responsive 1170
to full responsive 980

additional 50px (?) spacing added to bottom footer area (coyright/bottom menu areas). As can be seen on the page example in my prior post above.

Obviously custom CSS workaround 🙂

Still, FYI, changing top menu font colors doesn’t currently (3.6) set a color proprerty for the date.

hi,

1) DATE top menu
thank you for pointing this to us, here is how to fix it until next version:
add: , .td-header-menu-wrap .td_data_time like here : http://screencast.com/t/WhnGQ7GG6

2) try to use ‘Big Post size’ and ‘Small Post size’ sections for this

about the 50px, I’m looking to the page http://ga-ga.com/492/growing-older-in-a-youth-oriented-society/ and I don’t see it, I’m using chrome browser, an mozilla firefox, can you make a print screen.

Thanks for you message.

Hi, Radu A
I went back to the full width 1170 layout
as ran into issue with the 980 size layout, unboxed,
the Google AdSense 728×90 ad overlaps the logo vs having the logo area “responsive” to make the logo smaller – which makes sense since

300 logo | 728×90 ad
won’t fit in the 980 size.

I switched the theme back to 980 (8:48am PDT/PST 4/7 local time).

🙂

I will need to shrink the logo size manually for that spot (upload new logo).

In any case the issue only appears on

hi,
I don’t think you finish the last sentence …

Thanks for you message.

(phone rang mid sentence)

… In any case the issue only appears on 980 responsive width, no boxed layout.

You can see that from the link — happens on both IE11, and Chrome/Windows.

One other oddity is that on the iPad vertical view the < > arrows under post for previous and next story disappear and have [] broken icon. I think it’s due to the breakpoint style turning that OFF for mobile, but still on for iPad portrait (Air/Retina/iOS7.1).

Hi,
The 980 responsive width version have some little issues, need some CSS fixes. I will fix, please let me know where, can you show me directly on your site?

Hi
you can see the extra spacing in very bottom footer (coyright “row”):
http://ga-ga.com/492/growing-older-in-a-youth-oriented-society/

The issue with the < > arrows missing with broken icons – for the previous and next story elements – appears in both the 980 and 1170 responsive layouts, on iPad portrait mode. Again, I think this is due to the breakpoint for that style class being “not used” for the iPhone, but it disables the icons too early, so on iPad portrait mode you get the [] no icon box. It may be a Safari issue, *BUT* I also noticed this issue AFTER turning the tagDiv speed booster back on, and not seeing that with it off.

Thanks :-0

I use my iPad almost daily since version 1 of the iPad came out and great for testing these kinds of things. Need to get an Android tablet, too, but can only deal with so much.

Hi,
Use this CSS to fix it:

.td_980_resp .td-sub-footer-wrap .td-grid-wrap {
    padding-top: 6px !important;
}

I see above the date color issue and others, we will fix it in next version. Thanks!

Hi,
I checked yesterday the TOP MENU color/fonts and works fine for the data time to. I thought that is a bug but isn’t.

If you want you can use this CSS, to fix the data/time and also to uppercase the footer text.

.td-header-menu-wrap .td_data_time {
  color: #666666;
  font-size: 14px;
  text-transform: uppercase;
  margin-left: 23px;
}

.td-sub-footer-wrap {
  text-transform: uppercase;
}

Have a nice day! 😉

HI, Marius
oddly, we’re seeing on both our sites that the date stamp time section font color does NOT change with panel settings, as so http://ga-ga.com/ ..

NOTE: that the date stamp top left remains white text and doesn’t change to #666666. Links change color as they are links, not static text, presumably.

I had used CSS to fix it previously, but just removed that so you could see it “as the issue I’m having.”

Running theme 3.6, and WP 3.8.1 (not yet 3.8.2); with tagdiv speed booster plugin 2.1 = on. No custom font plugins or custom social plugins. Not using JetPack, not using social counter.

Full responsive, 980px.

In theme panel:
HEADER > top menu (black) – no option here for colors/fonts.
CUSTOM TYPOGRAPHY > Top Menu Font > Text Color = #666666
THEME COLORS > Top Menu Color = #e5e5e5

Easy to fix with CSS, but in our two installs theme panel on 3.6 with WP 3.8.1 doesn’t change the color.

No funky plugins running, and we reverted to Yoast SEO 1.4.25 which doesn’t have the issues with breaking sitemaps, etc., that 1.5x does.

Hi,
This is very strange, for me works great. http://screencast.com/t/WEIF7G7Z spped booster ACTIVE, 3.6, WP 3.8.2

When i check the page source you can see the CSS generated by the panel: http://screencast.com/t/XYSiWnM5tpZ

Could be from compression/minify in your case?

HI, Marius
not huge issue as I can fix with CSS.
Just odd.

Note I’m not running any minify stuff, just tagDiv speed booster, along with mod_pagespeed to remove white spaces and remove comments – and cache small images. It’s not doing anything else.

I am using the social media icons top right, and NOT using the login function, which is different from your example, and have the responsive AdSense ads running.

I will upgrade to the latest WP this week and then revisit. 🙂

Usually I am *not* the person with the one in a million gremlin, but this one is mine.

Have a great day!
