The fonts: not IDENTICAL (last check -day of announcment)
I’m dealing with major burglary; seperately: aftermath of
arsonist –over 300 of us evacuated several times; especially
nasty arsonist -screwed with the fire pipe, second fire flooded
the building; besides detectives, etc., reporters everywhere;
entire mess.Fonts: headline, sidebar bold/too heavy -large
Believe it, or don’t. I’m not going to stop to learn new process
just to Prove what I’m saying is True because you’re too lazy to
compare to ANYONE’S blog or to put the two up for yourself to SEE.Deadline: couldn’t be worse –thru a holiday???
I’m already up-side-down, behind in everything, and in posting, six at least.
I need the date extended –put off at least two weeks.If you can’t/won’t fix the fonts and/or extend the deadline
I need to shut down my blog and/or find another host. Please don’t
add to my problems, got enough on my plate/constant interruptions.
Fonts: need to be
IDENTICAL. As sample: far too large. -
@poppy8sd Are the headline fonts you’re seeing in Pilcrow bolder on your blog than the headlines in the preview image shown in the announcement post? We’ve tested Pilcrow across multiple browsers on both Windows and Mac operating systems—and compared it on your site against the older PressRow theme—and it should look like that screenshot.
If they’re not identical a screenshot of your monitor window or some more information about the browser and operating system you’re using might help us figure out what’s happening.

Okay, things calmer around here (no new fire), maybe this will help others:
I put up: My Home page/Pilcrow Preview My Home Page/Announcement Screenshot
side-by-side
-BLOG Title page/top: font looks identical
-HEADLINE: my font compared to Preview & Screenshot –NOT same –those Much More Bold
-SIDEBAR: my font compared to Preview & Screenshot –NOT same –more bold than mine–Ya, SIDEBAR font headings & ellipses HUGE in Pilcrow Preview.
–That made no sense to me, how could font look Identical in ONE area but NOT in other two areas. Plus: Since technically, usually, WP pretty thorough –and makes corrections if given notice of an error, and I thought you way wouldn’t re-check then say “same”
if not, so I took time to think Why font differences.So: I opened a 4th page
My current Home Page / Pilcrow Preview: ALL fonts IDENTICAL –NOT excessive bold anywhere
4th Page: Opera browser. The Problem: IE browser. ~TaDa…I’m NOT wild about: page/bottom black strip, will live with –if
I hafta –reason for it? –Design/copyright distinction from PressRow?
-Bottom Strip: How to change or delete what it says?
-SIDEBAR – headings: good job fixing BOTTOM serif cut-off
-SIDEBAR – Widgets/Photos: right side looks fine in Preview/no cut-off nowDid you fix error:
-space between sentences: TWO spaces –now?
-Quotes: face INWARD now?Over the week-end: I’ll look for new Blog header image
–instead of new Blog host(!) I’m Hoping there’s
a Tutorial, if not I’ll Search.Pilcrow: EXACT TIME of the change on the 29th?
BTW: saw new WP How To (Get Started) –team deserves kudos
for change –Details, MUCH Better info for newbies than the way it was. (Thot I’d go crackers or Quit in the beginning.) Well done.
Okay, problem Solved, 29 to go. -

reluctantly activated the theme, all seems well. still remains a fresh template! still miss the smiley face though. :(

@poppy8sd Would you be able to let us know what version of IE and Windows you’re using? Also, is the font display wonkiness only happening in the theme browser preview?
While Pilcrow and PressRow are very similar there are some differences. The footer is one of them. Only one part of the footer is editable; the blog tagline. It can be changed in Settings→General.
There shouldn’t be any difference between quotes and spaces after the period between the two themes. This may just be a preview display issue.
We have some great support information about header images here.
I can’t give an exact time change for the upgrade from PressRow to Pilcrow. It’ll be happening for different blogs at different times this week.
I hope that helps!

Hi Ian – We are live with the Pilcrow theme now and noticed that something is showing high in the page that we hope we can remove. It is new text that did not show like this in the previous theme. The text is showing as “Jump to Comments” and shows on all the permanent URLs with all of our featured stories. Because of our content (which covers global women’s news that includes many topics that attract spammers) we don’t have our comment feature turned on. Can we remove this confusing text by changing our CSS code for comments? Thanks for getting back on this and thanks big for your help. – Lys(at Women News Network)

Looking for some help customizing the Pilcrow in the same way I had Pressrow modified. As it is now, my blog’s pretty messed with the whole container too far right.
I had customized the Pressrow CSS to widen the content area to 970px with the post area 700px and had a custom header and no blog title. The Pilcrow theme is beyond my CSS skills, so if anyone could help, it would be greatly appreciated.

The Pilcrow theme is amazing! Very customisable, I love it! When using the ‘Dark’ colour scheme though, some of the writing, such as the ‘Leave a reply’ text cannot be seen as it is black on black. How do I fix this?
-
@sarahdanslenoir We’ll take a look at that right away and see what we can do for you.
@puppykilla That looks like a display bug. We’ll take care of that right away.

Come on Themeshaper!!
You told me (@greenesrelease We’ll look into those formatting options right away. You shouldn’t have to go back and edit your posts.)
I didn’t have time to edit every page, and trusted your response. Well??
Please take a look at my SALES page – it is ruined! (http://greenesrelease.wordpress.com/get-the-materials/)
My sidebar is also messed up! My index page is messed up! Every single page is messed up!!
What now?

@greenesrelease Sorry about that! I’d replied noting that the blog you were linking to (greenesrelease.com) was a WordPress.org blog. We’re looking into the display issues on your WordPress.com blog. We’ll get things sorted for your site as soon as we can.

@sarahdanslenoir We’ve sent you an email from support that should get your site looking more like expected. Let us know if you run into any other issues!
-
@themeshaper Thanks! All my issues are resolved with your help and my blog’s back to its former self.
-
My whole entire site is completely wrecked now, and I have not a lick of time to fix it.
Wow, not a cool move yanking that theme from us. And I have about 20 or so clients on WordPress – makes me a little skiddish to set any more clients up here for fear of the same happening to them.
-
The problems with the black on black text whils using the ‘dark’ background option all appear to be on the comments section ‘__ replies to this post’ and ‘Leave a reply’ are the only pieces of text that I have noticed to be affected. Any idea how long it will take to resolve?
