Hello. After updating last week I noticed some changes, neither of which I think are intended to be there. Here’s a few of them…
1) The “Blog – Recent Articles” (formally “Blog – Latest News” but I changed it a while back) that shows up when reading an individual post became bolded after the last update, I’m pretty sure that wasn’t supposed to happen. Is there a bit of css code that I can add to the custom css file to correct this?
And the more concerning issue is…
2) The font on the titles of new posts look messed up, some of the letters are bolded. For example, look at this post http://onlinemarketingsecrets.com/whаt-іѕ-twitter-аnd-іt-work/ . (Here’s something interesting I noticed, when you copy/paste it from the address bar it shows up as http://onlinemarketingsecrets.com/wh%D0%B0t-%D1%96%D1%95-twitter-%D0%B0nd-%D1%96t-work/ ). The font is also messed up when it’s viewed on the page listing http://onlinemarketingsecrets.com/page/4/ . (I backdated that post because I don’t want it showing up at the top of my blog looking like that.) Here’s another post I recently made that is doing the same thing http://onlinemarketingsecrets.com/how-tо-uѕе-twitter-effectively/ .
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
BrianHey brianbu!
For #1 by default the theme has this as a strong element. In your custom.css you have strong and b set with a font-weight of 600 so its a bit heavier.
You can change the page title in single.php.
2)I’m not seeing an issue on my end:
Cheers!
DevinThanks so much for the response, Devin.
I changed the font weight about a month ago because I was having a conflict with one of my plugins. I just removed that bit of code from custom.css and noticed I don’t need it anymore…interesting. Glad it’s fixed in any case. Here’s why I originally added it: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/bolded-font-changingbecoming-too-bold .
The second issue is a little trickier. The font still appears a little messed up in both firefox and chrome, but it looks fine on my iphone. Here’s what I’m seeing: http://onlinemarketingsecrets.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/font-issue.png . This is happening with any new posts since updating last week. The aesthetics of the font is only one change I’ve noticed, whenever a new post loads I immediately see a different address before it quickly redirects to the proper address. You can see this other address if you copy/paste the link. For example, here’s a copy/paste of that post link (which is what all my new posts are doing now): http://onlinemarketingsecrets.com/wh%D0%B0t-%D1%96%D1%95-twitter-%D0%B0nd-%D1%96t-work/ . It should be http://onlinemarketingsecrets.com/whаt-іѕ-twitter-аnd-іt-work . If I copy/paste any post created prior to last week it won’t have all those extra letters and symbols (the post in question was done a few days ago but backdated). Since those 2 things starting happening at the same time (after the update) I’m thinking they’re related.
Not sure what’s going on. I didn’t change the permalink setting, and I checked it and it’s correct. Today I tried flushing the rules with Rewrite Rules Inspector but it didn’t help.

I would suggest deactivating all active plugins and then re-saving the permalink settings a few times (changing to default at least once) then see how it looks on your end.
Make sure to also clear you local browser cache so that you aren’t getting incorrect old cached files.
Devin, I just figured it out…my fault completely. Prior to posting, I was saving the last few articles I wrote in a format that was causing the problem. The wording appears normal on the original doc yet shows up slightly differently when copied and pasted to my blog, as well as creates that funky link. I didn’t realize I was doing that, and because I starting doing it a few days after updating, coincidentally, I was erroneously thinking the issue had to do with the update. Oops, sorry to waste your time. Thanks for staying with it though, much appreciated.
Brian :)
