Widget typography issue
4 replies · Started by Vladimir on August 1, 2017
Hi,
I was trying to adjust the font-size in the widget area. I went to Typography-> Widgets and set the size to 14px. However, although this is reflected in the editor view, the change is not reflected after saving on the page itself. There are a few lines of CSS code that I find a bit strange as they seem to be in a way for same thing.
I know that I can shrink the font size with the following code:
.inside-right-sidebar .widget {font-size:14px !important;}
But I still wonder why it does not work through the Customizer.
Here is my website: http://www.skmbrussels.be
Thank in advance for a reaction!
Best regards,
Vladimir
Hi there,
If it's working in the customizer preview but not in live site then it's likely a caching issue.
Can you try clear WP Super Cache?
Hi Leo,
I tried deleting the cache, but no help. In fact, when I leave Customizer after saving the changes and then come back, the font size for widget content is saved (e.g. in my case 14 px), but the front-end of the website shows the regular 17px font size. I think it has to do something with the fact that I am using a child theme. When I switch to the orignal theme, things seem to be working fine. I used Childify Me plugin to create the child theme.
Have you noticed issues with child themes? I mean, I can live together with the original theme as I only plan to make some CSS changes which I can put directly in the Customizer - but still, over time I might need to do some other changes and then it would be useful to use the child theme.
Thanks!

Hi,
the child theme was an issue. I followed a link you provided in a different post and I managed to solve the issue. Many thanks!

No problem!
