Various issues with Newspaper theme

Posted in: Newspaper

My web is https://desdelaraiz.com

I have the following issues:

1. Is there any option to notify the replies to the people who commented on the blog?

2. If you check the social media on the footer, they are not 100% centered. How can I center them?

3. If you check the website on macintosh, the text is much more thick, and some fonts looks very different. What can I do?

4. Sometimes, when you load more posts trought load more or arrows, it gets stuck loading.

Other problems with the theme panel:

5. When I modify any option on the theme panel, 30% of the times it gets stuck loading.

6. When I publish an article or I update it, sometimes it drives you to a error message.

I hope you can give me solutions. Maybe some problems are frequent to other people and need to be fix on the next updates, or maybe there is an incompatibility with a plugin or something.

Right now, the most important problem I want to solve as soon as posible is the number 3.

Thank you.

Hi,

1. The settings related to discussions are located here – https://www.screencast.com/t/yJSIZvrlkwg If you would like to send automatic notifications, like emails to users bases on comment replies, I am sure that you could probably find a plugin with that capability, suitable for your project.

2. You can try a code like this to further align the socials in the footer (you can change the value to whatever you think is working for you)

.footer-social-wrap span:first-child {
padding-left: 30px;
}

3. From what I can see you have custom code affecting some elements on your pages, regarding font and font properties. Maybe that is why this is happening. You can try as a test to remove this code and check again.

For all the other issues that you are having, please check the theme system status and make the necessary modifications if needed to these parameters – https://forum.tagdiv.com/system-status-parameters-guide/ because this could be the cause of these kind of problems. Also some problematic plugins can sometimes be the cause for this to happen.

For the problem number 3, I removed ALL the css and the problem persists.

Here you can see a picture where you can appreciate the different text weight between windows and mac:

The text on mac is more heavy, and some fonts looks different aswell.

What can be the problem? It’s not nice to read a text in bold.

Thank you.

Hi,

After further investigation in this matter and different tests on both Windows and Mac, it seems the problem is that when you select a font family for an element the browser will go through that list and load the available font depending on system. In this case on Windows and Chrome browser the font loaded from the font family is the “Calibri” font – https://www.screencast.com/t/AySNjs9XM and skips the “Gillsans” –

On Mac it seems to load the “Gillsans” as this is the first font available from the font family. That is why there is this difference in this case and probably in others, when a font family is used.
Please note that even if the same font would be applied, there could be differences between what is displayed on Windows and on Mac as these they interpret some fonts differently. Even the “Calibri” font is available in different versions for these operating systems.
I suggest that if you would like to have the same font for both this cases, you should look for a font that displays similar versions in these cases and load it in theme panel. You can use custom fonts in the theme by following this guide – https://forum.tagdiv.com/font-customization/

Thanks

Okey, thank you so much for the info.

I solved it uploading custom font “Open Sans”. Now looks good on mac and windows.

Again, thank you.
