[Resolved] Content Heading/Body Typography Customisation Not Working

[sean]

Hi.
I am trying to change the Headings’ (1,2,3) ‘font family’, ‘font weight’ and ‘font size’, but although I select different options nothing changes. Oddly the ‘text transform’ works as does changing the colour.

The same issue exists with Body Typography – font family, size, and weight do not work but ‘text transform’ and changing the colour does?

I’ve tried this under different browsers – I am also using a ‘child’ of ‘GeneratePress’.

Any advice please? Thanks in advance.

Make sure you’re using the latest version of both GeneratePress (1.3.40) and GP Premium (1.2.91).

[sean]

Updated – still not working. Slight difference in as much as the font size slider appears to work on the preview, but doesn’t show on the online version.

[Tom]

So when you save your changes and view the site, the change hasn’t been applied?

Is your value still saved when you re-enter the Customizer?

[sean]

Correct – I leave the customise window and the change has not been applied to the live site. On return the new settings are still fixed on the left-hand side but the preview window shows the original and unchanged font/size.

I can make the font/size stick by using code within your ‘Simple CSS’ option.

[Tom]

If the setting is saved, then it’s in the database – that’s good.

This means something is stopping it from being read on the live site.

It could be:

a) A caching plugin you have activated
b) This issue: https://generatepress.com/knowledgebase/child-theme-working/

Thanks Tom! – b) was the issue – removed the line and it is now working perfectly! Appreciate the help and the quality of the plugin – great stuff.

[Tom]

Awesome, glad I could help! 🙂

I’m available on having the same problem. I have the latest version installed. I do not have any caching plugins. I also am not using a child theme. Any other options?

Hi there,

can you raise a new topic where you can share a link to your site using the Site URL Field – then we can take a look at what the issue is.

[Susan]

I figured it out. It was an Elementor issue. Thank you.

[David]

Glad to hear you got it resolved 🙂
