Font, image, and footer customization help

Hello, I am having a good time with the theme so far but I’d like some help with the issues below:

1. Custom fonts are not working and all headers on my homepage staging.almostrealthings.com are Roboto instead of selected font in the theme panel.
2. The fonts under the “Pages” font category are not applying correctly to any of my “Text with Title” elements.
3. The magazine spread mockup image on my homepage staging.almostrealthings.com won’t center and shrinks to 696px instead of the 1068px size that it should be on full desktop view.
4. The footer looks perfect on all pages but the styling gets messed up on the article posts: example (magazine covers are not laid out in 4 columns, padding on the subscribe box is different, bottom black bar with copyright and menu list has weird spacing.

Thank you!

Hi Calin,

1. Google Fonts are enabled but I have a custom .woff font that worked on the old version of my site with Newspaper 8 but doesn’t work on this new version with Newspaper 10.3.3. As for the h1 through h6 header tags: they are set to Roboto even though I have Google Fonts enabled and I have changed every single font setting to Montserrat.
2. Shouldn’t the settings in the theme panel under “theme fonts -> Pages” be applying by default to these text boxes on my pages? That’s how it worked on the old version of my Newspaper site.
3. I have deduced that since I am using Jetpack, all images on my site are constrained to a maximum of 696px, since that is what Newspaper has defined as its column size. Is there a way to increase this value? The homepage image should be and thinks it is 1068px and centered, but when being served up by Jetpack, is only 696px and defaults to left aligned. I have all settings on this image set to center.

Thank you for your help!

Thanks, still having issues with the footer as seen here with the copyright info and footer menu not being on the same line. This only occurs on article pages for some reason.

Also, from that Jetpack article it says this “The image CDN looks to the img element’s width and height attributes and the width of the containing element. It will then serve an image resized to the smallest dimensions. If it didn’t resize that image to something smaller, then it’s likely that the 2250 size was the smallest based on those parameters.”

So that means the theme is constraining this element. I don’t have any css constraints for the row or column or image so I am not sure why it thinks the maximum width for this element is 696px. The native image is 1100px x 557px and everything looks fine in the TDComposer but the live version continues to shrink the image. Have you run into this problem before with Jetpack on Newspaper?

Thanks

Hi Calin,

I have just transferred our website to the live version at almostrealthings.com. These are my current three issues:

1. On article posts in the footer, the copyright text and footer menu are not aligned -> https://i.imgur.com/yry5oEG.png It looks fine on pages but is only misaligned on article posts. Maybe it has something to do with the custom code you suggested in your first reply to me?
2. For the Jetpack issue, it is resizing the images to 696px as part of its “Site Accelerator > Speed up image load times” -> https://i.imgur.com/JPlEWnR.png It thinks the theme’s page column width is constrained to 696px and will not allow me to have full-page images, giving me this -> https://i.imgur.com/09gX8hQ.png instead of this -> https://i.imgur.com/q50fFy3.png
3. The last issue is that the WP Editor will no longer load in TDComposer after transferring my website from my staging environment to my live site at almostrealthings.com -> https://i.imgur.com/YUZ5vrB.png I did not make any changes, I simply transferred the entire site to the live domain. Everything else works except the WP Editor.

Thank you for your help!

Hi,

#1 is solved! Thanks.

For #2 did you mean to attach a screenshot? I’m not sure which settings you’re talking about.

For #3, WP Editor is not working because it is making a request that my host is blocking for security reasons. I received the following message from Namecheap’s hosting support:

The issue is related to the fact that the request is being forwarded to the php file https://almostrealthings.com/wp-content/plugins/td-composer/includes/wpeditor.php?wp_path=/var/www/wptbox/ directly in the editor. Direct file execution is disabled on our side by default due to security reasons. We can enable it, but in that case the website will be more vulnerable. Please note that the direct execution can be allowed only temporarily and the setting can be reset anytime due to EasyWP architecture.

They are telling me that I will need to contact them to enable direct file execution every time I want to make an edit using the WP Editor through TDComposer. Is there anything I can do to use TDComposer without it making this request? Have you encountered this problem before?

Thanks!

Thanks Calin. It would be helpful to make a note on your website that the Newspaper theme is not compatible with Jetpack’s image processing CDN. Other users will have this same issue. Also a note that TDComposer is not compatible with Namecheap’s EasyWP dedicated WordPress hosting.

Two more issues:

1. In the element “text with title” it seems like if the title includes quotation marks (“), it will eventually delete the title and revert back to the default BLOCK TITLE text. We use quotations often in naming our magazines. Has this issue been solved before?

2. I have built out two duplicate pages: https://almostrealthings.com/spotlight is an actual WordPress page, and https://almostrealthings.com/category/spotlight is a cloud category template. The /spotlight WordPress page looks perfect but the duplicate /category/spotlight template does not follow the column formatting that I specify in TDComposer.

How it should look: https://i.imgur.com/tjIMi6c.png

How it looks currently: https://i.imgur.com/uFnOsuv.png

Why does the template lack the same formatting? How can I fix it?

Thank you for all of your help.
