Italics all over the place

Support
#1

Hi. When I developed a new site recently, I was able to get rid of the italics that appeared in the menu, in the Text Type and even in the blog posts with one simple command that I was given. See top screen grab.

But I have just ported the site to a new server and now I can’t get rid of the italics again. See bottom screen grab. Can you please help? Thank you.

URL of the one with italics I want to get rid of: http://69.195.124.233/~cgtvus/filmed-podcasts/
URL of the one without italics: https://www.limelightdc.com/commonground/filmed-podcasts/

Hi,

I can see your body font is set to italic.

Please navigate to X > Launch > Options > Typography and set Body Font Italic to OFF

Hope that helps.

Actually, the body font italic IS set to off.

Hi There,

This seems odd as the admin bar is being affected as well. Please clear and deactivate your caching plugin and see if the issue resolve. If not, keep your caching plugin deactivate until we resolve this issue then do a testing for a plugin conflict. You can do this by deactivating all third party plugins, and seeing if the problem remains. If it’s fixed, you’ll know a plugin caused the problem, and you can narrow down which one by reactivating them one at a time.

Let us know how it goes,

Okay, I’ve disabled the Endurance Cache in Settings/General. I also deactivated ALL plug-ins. The italics still show up in the menu. I then re-actived just Cornerstone and The Grid so I can see the site. The italics are still everywhere. Menu, Featured Headline, body of blog posts, etc. Of course, italics is still set to off in Cornerstone Typography.

Maybe you can get in there and try to fix it?

Again, before I ported the site to the new server, it was fine. See the earlier screen grab. But that was using WP 4.3 I think. Thanks.

Hello There,

Thanks for updating in! This must be a bug with the font manager. Please disable the font manager and make use of the default typography settings. You may need to set the Body and Headings to Helvetica or any other font that you’d like to use.

Please bear with us.

Well, that worked. Thanks.

Joao - Sorry, but I’m having the same problem with this page only: https://jsgfirm.com/orange-county-private-investigator/ and I’ve tried everything in this thread… no change. *Most of the page still in italics.

Help please?

Thanks

Hi There,

The italicize text start with this headline For JSG, It’s all about experience and reputation. That headline when I check has <em> tag in it. Most probably, the closing </em> tag is missing. Em tag is define to be italic. Since the closing tag em is missing it will then turn all other text after this headlines italicize until the closing em tag is found which in this case is missing. Make sure that all your html tags are close properly. Let us know how this goes.

Thank you for helping me find that. I looked all over, but it was buried in one of the Custom Headlines…
Thanks Lely!

Hi There @mizmudd

First of all, please update your X theme as well to the latest version. You can check the latest version numbers from here (https://theme.co/changelog/) and update accordingly (https://theme.co/apex/forum/t/setup-updating-your-themes-and-plugins/62). Make sure to purge your server cache and before testing your site.

Upon inspecting your site further, I see the following CSS rule which is applied to your menu. If it is added by you, you should be locate it under X -> Theme Options > CSS area.

.x-navbar .x-nav-wrap .x-nav > li > a {
    font-family: inherit;
    font-style: italic;
    font-weight: 700;
    letter-spacing: 0.1em;
    text-transform: uppercase;
}

If you’re still having issues, please open up a new thread and provide us with your WordPress login credentials in a secure note to check your issue further.

Thanks!
