Font style changed after update

Hi @uldis23,

What exactly do you mean? Are we talking about the font family? Font weight (normal, bold, etc)?

Hi @uldis23, hi @hcabrera,

I had the same problem and I have solution now:

Go to: Appearance ? Customize ? Custom CSS ? add:

.wpp-post-title {
font-weight: normal;
line-height: 1;
display: block;
}

Thank you @marekadamec . This working, but remove only bold, but font is darker, than was before plugin update.

Thanks for the help,I will try to get used to the differences, but @hcabrera please still fix this problem

Hey guys,

Let’s clarify something: there’s nothing that needs “fixing” here. The default CSS styles were updated after a long time, that’s all (as noted in the changelog).

@uldis23 if you prefer the old styles:

1. Get the old wpp.css file (right click on the Raw button, then select Save Link As… to download the file to your computer).
2. Upload the old wpp.css file into your theme’s folder (located at wp-content/themes/<YOUR-THEME-NAME>/).
3. Finally, if you have a caching plugin installed (eg. WP Super Cache), clear its cache so changes are applied immediately.

Also:

(…) but font is darker, than was before plugin update.

The color change must be coming from somewhere else, @uldis23. WPP’s stylesheet doesn’t contain any rule to override the colors set by your site: wpp.css.

Thank you, @hcabrera . Old style file is uploaded, but not helps me. Font still is bold and completely different from the page style…

Font still is bold (…)

You didn’t upload the old wpp.css file to the right location: https://laiki.lv/wp-content/themes/hueman/wpp.css results in a 404 error (not found) and then a redirect to your homepage. The plugin is still loading the stock wpp.css file from https://laiki.lv/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-popular-posts/assets/css/wpp.css.

Please make sure you upload the wpp.css file to /wp-content/themes/hueman/.

@hcabrera I’m sorry, this is too complicated for me, I can’t do anything …

Why is it that the plugin hasn’t had a problem for 4 years and now needs to be deactivated without automatic solutions?

@uldis23 if the solution I posted before is too difficult for you, @marekadamec’s suggestion should work just fine so please try that instead.

Note that the color problem you mentioned before isn’t being caused by the update: neither the stylesheet from previous version of the plugin nor the one from version 5.0 contain any color-related CSS rules so the problem is coming from somewhere else.

I did it through plugin editor – commented .wpp-post-title in css file.

That is really strange decision to force all titles in widget by default to be bold. Also, it’s not ideal for seo purposes.

@hcabrera, please, remove bold in next update. Or at least make it optional.

Hi @seowebua,

I did it through plugin editor – commented .wpp-post-title in css file.

That’s not a good idea: the next update will overwrite any changes you made to the file which is why I recommend doing this instead.

(…) please, remove bold in next update. Or at least make it optional.

Alright, I’ll consider your suggestion.

I have the same problem. Every title is bold after I updated the plugin and the suggested solution is too complex for me. Please add an option in the plugin to make titles not being bold in the next update. (https://science-network.tv/)

The stated fix works great, but I would add that one may need to also clear their web browser cache or it may seem like the “fix” did not work.

@hcabrera, Thank you for update! Now everything works great!

No worries, @uldis23. All I did was revert back the bold styling as mentioned above though, nothing else was changed ??
