    After update the font all over the site changed. Main problem is:

    1. All the letters are noticeably smaller.
    2. Letters are thinner.

    Overall, it’s harder to read. And, as a result, Google is marking the site as “mobile unfriendly”, that will lead to some sanctions.

    The theme I’m using since it was just Colormag. No customizations (spent ages finding just the theme I liked). No cashing plugin (we don’t have much traffic), server is using gzip but I don’t think it’s connected.

  • Hi @3nt,

    Thanks for reaching us,

    For changing the font-size of the content, Please try adding this CSS inside WordPress Dashboard > Appearances > Customize > Additional CSS:

    .cm-entry-summary p{
        font-size: 1.8rem;
    }

    Let me know if this helps you or not and I will get back to you.

    Thanks for speedy reply.

    1. Font size is working, but it’s 1.6, if anybody else is interested. And now, with 1.6rem, the site is passing the test for being mobile friendly.
    2. It didn’t affect the title on pages (posts are OK). It’s still too small. What I mean it became smaller after update & I was hoping that if all the text will be bigger the title will became bigger too. It didn’t. BTW, in posts there is a kind of frame all around the content and it doesn’t exist on pages. Maybe it is connected with the title being different.
    3. Other thing that I hoped will be fixed with text being bigger.
    • a. Normal text is the same. But bold text is thinner then before. Before it was too thick, now it’s too thin… I don’t even know what to choose, you’ll consult your designers.
    • b. And this one is wired. Somehow text in bold became paler and lighter. It’s not as contrast as before. And the colours look lighter. I don’t know how it’s possible because the codes for the colours are the same… Is it because it’s not as thick as before?!?
    • c. The spacing between the lines is different. I could live with that but I think it looked better before. Anyway, let your team know and let them decide what to do with that.

    On unrelated matter. When I was adding additional CSS, I found the code:

    .taxonomy-description {
        display: none;
    }

    I’m 100% sure that when I installed the theme, ages ago, there was nothing in there.

    Question: Do you know what it is? Why do I need it? What happens if I delete it?

    Hi @3nt,

    Thanks for reaching back,

    1. Glad to hear that the issue has been fixed and thanks for the update.
    2. Regarding the font-size of the page title, the default font-size value is 2.6rem. With the font-size value 2.6rem, the site page title looks quite well. The option for changing the value of page title is not available with the free version and according to .org guideline we cannot discuss the premium feature here. So for further more discussion, please contact us via the live chat support here: https://themegrill.com/ and we will discuss more on it.
    3. Regarding the font-weight customization, we have set the default value on the ColorMag theme that looked good from the designers eyes. The option for changing the value is not a free feature provided by the ColorMag theme. So more discussion on this please contact via the live chat support and we will discuss more on it.

    Regards

    1. After reading everything on problems with update I made some adjustments to the code you gave and ended up with:
      .cm-entry-summary p{
      font-size: 1.6rem;
      line-height: 1.6;
      }

      I’m not a coder, not sure if it up to the coding standards but it works. If anybody else is interested, they could use it.
    2. About page titles, they’re just missing. I rose this question here: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/h1-on-pages-issue-after-update-to-3-0x/ . All the theme has now is H2 which is more a subtitle. So, there are now way to adjust the size of something that doesn’t exists. Zero multiplied to any value is still zero. As for the titles on posts, somewhere down the line there is an advise. I don’t know if I’m going to use it because I didn’t like the original titles as well, too big and too thin, and I do not like the current ones – it’s too thick and a little bit too small. I’d better have something in between.
    3. As to the theme looking good, (I do understand that it’s not your job and the job you’re doing, trying to sort out all that mess, you’re doing good), your designers should see the optician and get new glasses. After they do it, they will see that all the elements on updated theme do not match each other. The fonts that are too small, or different in colored boxes and everything is not on the same line. They did do good job on screwing up nice looking theme. That’s why the community so unhappy and trying to get the fixes to make it look like it was before. Your designers should be penalized and half of their salaries should go to you and to hire another support member because there so many questions that it’s obvious you’re overload with it.
    4. As for “font-weight customization … The option for changing the value is not a free feature” you’ve already been told on several occacions that it’s nothing to do with premium features and that the code was already giving in the forum on several occasions. So I spent my time and found all those things. If I was a coder I would easily write the one on my own because it’s just a 3 lines…
    5. As for taxonomy-description code I asked above, I figured out what it is, if anybody’s interested. It hides the descriptions of categories and other taxonomies. Original theme had none, so this code appeared somewhere in one of the updates. And I didn’t notice because I never done customization. It didn’t even existed when I’ve got this theme in a first place.

    Anyway, thanks for support, it gave me a starting point. And as I see, it’s better to have 1 problem per post, it makes it easier for everybody.
