Modal Images Caption format – How?

Posted in: Newspaper
Post count: 137

I have came across a little problem. When using an image caption (just putting the info in in the picture description) there seems to be no way to edit the font or font-size. I would like to both be able to change the font of the caption text to go along with the other fonts in my theme and also to either remove or change the font as i tis displayed when the picture is actually pressed and are shown in “lightbox-mode”.

As it is right now when displaying a picture in the lightbox view if the picture is mostly white the text doesn´t show at all, since it is also white…

How do i do this? Preferably without css-customisation since there´s gotta be a way in the theme settings. Guess I just haven´t found it yet 🙂

I might just be half-blind but I can´t seem to find the setting for changing the font of the paragraphs and titles on the posts displayed in the sidebar or in the different Block-sections across the page either? The whole Custom typography does seem a bit under documented in what option that changes what font… :/

Sorry for posting again, just found this screengrab of the font settings page http://screencast.com/t/taXXcEAUE77Xand my font settings page looks nothing like it? This is how my Custom Typography page looks: ttp://i60.tinypic.com/2450lt3.png.

Have I installed the theme wrong somehow?

Hi,

Unfortunately there is no option to change font for caption from Theme Panel. You can do this only with custom css: http://screencast.com/t/koug1KS9aKsl

.td-doubleSlider-1 .td-slide-item .td-gallery-slide-copywrite{
color: red;
font-family:sans-serif;
font-size: 15px;
background-color: blue;
}

Widgets Title font can be changed from Theme Panel > Custom Typography: http://screencast.com/t/HMMjUebIwcU
Also excerpt’s font for blocks: http://screencast.com/t/APrux2v7IK
Result: http://screencast.com/t/DkLGGjP4S7
But this will be apply also on blocks from the Sidebar. There is no option only for Sidebar’s widgets, sorry for inconvenience!

I think that you have installed the theme right, your Custom Typography looks well. The other screenshot that you posted is from Newsmag theme.

Let me know if you still have issues related to the theme!

Thanks!

Thank you for those tips!

The only thing I can´t figure out is how to change the actuall headings of the articles in the tabs. Not the Widget title font, but the actuall Article font (when shown in the tabs). Trying to use the Tabs font (bottom one in this picture: http://screencast.com/t/APrux2v7IK ) but whatever changes I make it has no effect on the tabs at all?

After some digging I found where i changed the desired headings 🙂

I am however still curious what the Tabs Font actually changes since it seems to make no difference anywhere on the site when i change it 🙂

I do have two more questions:
1. How do I change the font in the footer section (regular block-text in the left most Footer column)?

2. Sometimes when I the last day have been playing around with the fonts I´ve experienced that all of a sudden the fonts can stop to load and hence won´t display on the page (they get replaced by some weird standard Times New Roman-like font). It all looks fine in the settings. But I am forced to actually go back in to the font settings and reselect the font I want to display in the actual place and re-save. Then the font shows up again. However after a little more playing around changing fonts one or more of the fonts stops working and ends up being replaced with the generic Times New Roman-like font and I have to go back and change them again… :-/

I´m really sorry for making more posts but there doesn´t seem to be a way of editing a post for more than a few min after the post has been made. Here is a screengrab of the phenomenon described in my second question. First it looks as it should (the top image) and then all of a sudden all the fonts gets messed up (bottom picture).

Really frustrating 🙁

Hi,

Tabs Fonts from Custom Typography is apply on tabs title: http://screencast.com/t/nALdBZbizuPX
Excerpt fonts was added here to no create a new section. It will be changed on Newspaper 5.0. Thanks for understating!

1. Please use this custom css to change font for footer text:http://screencast.com/t/yJHCEkxnhPsq

.footer-text-wrap{
font-family: Ubuntu !important;
font-size: 18px;
}

2. The fonts are downloaded from google, every time have to make request for this and maybe that is the error you get and the default font is used. You can try to set the Leverage Browser Caching so it will remember css(fonts): https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/
Also you can check if you have errors in console for fonts issue.

Thanks!

Thank you for the answer.

How do I check for errors in the console?

The odd thing is that the font setting seems to get reseted and doesn’t change regardless how many times I reload the page. The only way to change them once they have become “odd” is to go back to the custom typography tab, reselect the font in question and save again.

I have noticed that when doing this and the font is restored to what it should be this makes one of the other fonts on the page change immediately after pressing Save. As it is right now I can’t work with the page at all since random fonts keeps changing every time I save something.

Could I have messed up the whole installation some how?

Is there perhaps a way to actually download the Google fonts used and put them together with the site files to make loading easier?

This is driving me crazy now 🙁

Hi,

In Chrome right click on an empty space from the page and select inspect, then switch to console – http://prntscr.com/63qpzi

You can also check the error.log file, you can find it via ftp or c-panel. If you have access to it send me a copy, the cause of this error may be recorded in there.

If you save the fonts locally all visitors will download them from your location creating unwanted traffic.

Thank you, Emil G.
