Dispatch + GP 3.0 – Anyone had issues yet? Holding off on upgrading

[Matt]

Hey,

have a large live site I’d like to update but don’t want to break/fix over the course of the next few days. Anyone had any issues with the Dispatch theme?

[David]

Hi there,

there should be no issues updating to 3.0 as it will keep the old Float system and migrate your existing sittings.

We would probably advise leaving the site set to Floats not Flex as this may cause a few issues with the Old Dispatch CSS.

First issue is these icons.

I changed the Icon Type from SVG to font and this fixed it – but I’m sure I choose SVG for a reason that I can’t remember now – probably speed?

Hi,

Perhaps you wanted less requests for speed and a visually sharper icon?

When in doubt, make sure to make a back-up or do a test update on a staging site. 🙂

A wise man once said:
"Have you cleared your cache?"

[Matt]

That would be the reason, I was able to not have to load the generatepress.woff2 font file, which I now have to preload.

Is there are any workaround for the SVG front problem?

[David]

Try disabling any cache plugins and then re-enable the SVG option.
If they display correctly then re-enable the cache.
