Goran theme – font sizes have changed overnight
-
The font size of my site title and page headers appears to have increased overnight. Where the menu headers sat on one line, they are now on two, and similar for some of the heading sentences on the main page. Also, the featured images have shrunk in height on some pages but not others.
Is this just happening to me, and any ideas what I can do to fix it/stop it happening?
Thank you!

Hi Isabel,
I find that you have some custom CSS incresing the font, can you test if the sizes are ok without this code?
Please copy & paste the code somewhere (e.g. notepad), then erase it from you WordPress site.

Hi Diana
Yes, you’re right, I do have custom CSS – I input that many months ago to achieve the desired font size – but now I don’t understand why they appear to have increased further without my having customised anything recently!If I delete that code, it will return to the original (ie not what I want) font, so I guess I’ll just have to go in and tweak until I return it to what I had before.
The only other thing I could think of is perhaps the overall width of the page has decreased, making the font appear larger/the words fall onto the next line.
What I’m most worried about is a) how did it happen and b) will it happen again!
Thanks for your reply :)

You’re welcome!
I guess that the theme author updated the theme code then any custom CSS will be obsolete.

Hi there, the last update on Goran was for some PollDaddy adjustments on 1/20/16. I looked back at changesets all the way back to the beginning of 2015 and found nothing related to fonts.
There was a change to the customizer fonts a few months ago where instead of +1, +2 +3, etc., for font sizes, there are now small, normal, large and huge. As far as I can see there weren’t any other changes that should have affected font sizes on your site.
Have you gotten your font sizes adjusted back to where you have them? If not, I can help with that.
I’ll also check with the developers and see if there was some change that could have caused this.

Thanks thesacredpath. I’ve just tweaked the Site Title, Page Title and Navigation Bar fonts in CSS to bring them back down.
A good example of where I can see sizes have increased is on the static Welcome page. The line of text beneath the big ‘Flight’ image ends in the words ‘newbooks magazine’ – when I last updated this, I selected Heading 2 in order to keep the whole quote on just one line. As you can see the word ‘magazine’ has now dropped onto the next line. Weird!
Also all the header heights (featured images) are fine at first and second levels, but when you drill down to the next level eg Glasshopper (under Books), the header heights are much shorter than they were before. Previously they were the same as the headers for the main pages.
Thanks so much for your help!

Hi, and thanks for the additional information. I’ve looked at the logs and the last update to Goran was October 2015, and that update removed an obsolete PHP command that was unrelated to fonts or header images.
I notice that you have hidden the page title on Glasshopper, which does shorten the image area since that page title div takes up vertical space in the header area so when it is hidden with display: none; the header area will collapse by that amount. If you temporarily remove this CSS for the Glasshopper page, and save and look at your site, you will see the image at the top is taller.
Additionally, you have this in your custom CSS
.hero-image .hero.with-featured-image { padding: 180px 0 2em !important; }that is controlling the height of the image. You can increase the 180px value to adjust the height of the image. 205px takes the bottom of the image down to the bottom edge of the overlay grey you have on the image.
See if the above change to 205px gets you where you want to be, and if not, let me know how much taller you want the featured images and I can work things out to get you that.

One other thing one of my colleagues just reminded me of is to ask you to check the zoom level on your browser and make sure you aren’t zoomed in.

Hi thesacredpath
Thanks so much for all this info. Your explanation about recent changes in font size (+1 changing to small etc) probably explains the increases I saw in the page text (where a two line sentence is now three) – so I’ll simply play around with that.
And the header stuff is interesting – I’ll have a poke about and see how I get on!
Appreciate your help very much – with thanks,
Isabel -
