There’s a massive margin bottom on every header since updating.

Hello @alundra

We did indeed change a few things with the latest update in order to accommodate some Gutenberg plugins and make them work better. But unfortunately, as software development goes, it would be impossible to test absolutely all use cases when making a change.

Fret not though, as we are already preparing a fix and are seeing good results. If you wish to test the pre-release version of the fix that will be coming out this week, please drop us a line via our website – https://creativethemes.com/blocksy/support/ – as it is not recommended to give out third party zips through these forums. We’ll send you the fixed theme .zip right away. ??

Thank you.

I completely understand it being hard to test….but this is a basic header on a basic page….surely your test had a plain page with a header and text?

And the menu item was for dropdowns, didn’t you guys test a website with multiple menu dropdowns? ??

I realise it’s hard to test but I feel like the headers would have impacted all your demos so I’m wondering how it was missed. What was the purpose of it?

Thank you so much for the offer! I will wait for public though it’s easier if WordPress updates it ha ha.

Hello @alundra

Well, I know this isn’t an excuse, but things can slip our minds when you’re under high pressure. We’ll try to test these major changes more thoroughly with a closed group from now on. ??

Thanks again!

I don’t mean to give you trouble I just don’t understand how you can add a margin for headers and not check how it affects headers across different scenarios like headers in covers, on pages, etc.

Same with menus. Maybe the issue is that you’re not testing each change and how it impacts the things it’s changing? You’re just testing there’s no obvious problems quickly? I can understand doing that if you’re under stress.

I do beta testing for a few games and I find a lot of bugs for them, usually I report 75+ per release. I know that some things go under the radar and I know you can’t possibly test all situations. I’m not trying to cause any issues or kick you while you’re down I just want to help. I do love this theme, and I appreciate your hard work, sorry I came across terribly <3

Hi @alundra,

Wait, wait. We’ve never taken this as a reprimand. ??

But with the entire Blocksy 2 package there was a massive surge of tickets we’re still trying to keep under control. It’s a big update and keeping things in check can have a few tiny negative consequences. ??

Things are starting to look better each day and we hope to never have such inconsistencies again.

Thanks and much love! ??

Hey I hate to bump this again but….You’ve now moved it to the top and same problem, it’s pushing my headings down and breaking content.

:is(.entry-content,.is-layout-flow,.is-layout-constrained) :where(h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6) {
    margin-top: var(--theme-content-spacing);

Additionally the drop down menu items are floating very far below the menu, instead of under it nicely as it was before. I’ve got no idea how/why that one’s happening but it wasn’t like this previously.

How can I save a version of this theme separately so when I go live I don’t have unexpected changes to my design like this? I’d like to be able to test the update first then apply if all looks good.

Just want to add this REALLY causes a serious break up of content for blog posts….it completely breaks the design and flow.

Hello @alundra

Do you happen to have a live URL of where this is happening on? I’d like to have our developers check it out.

Thanks.

Unfortunately it’s on Localhost, the server should be up by next week. We would have had it up this week but covid hit our household of all things. It’s been a rough one!

Here’s a screeny if that helps any? This is just a normal blog post all I’ve done is click “paragraph” and “heading” and I made a row with 2 stacks in it, each stack has a paragraph and a list in it. I’m fairly sure I haven’t even styled the blog section in customiser yet because I wanted to have some content to style first.

So ALL of your starter websites if that’s what you’re testing on have extra CSS on all headers. You need a plain test site without fancy css that has pages of different widths and spacing so you can see the impacts. When I remove the extra classes the headers are all shoved downwards as well, some by a little, some by at least their height or more.

Hello @alundra

I can assure you that none of our starter sites have CSS for this. Not sure where you’ve looked, exactly.

But if you cannot get the website online, maybe you could send us a snapshot made with this plugin – https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/all-in-one-wp-migration/? This will help our developers analyse your exact use case. What do you say? ??

Thanks!

You guys have so many classes on all your pages how can you possibly test your theme as it is? Is the point of this theme not to be versatile for people to design their own way? All I’ve done is use blocks and change the customizer settings. I don’t want to make a bunch of special classes. I can’t even test with half these themes because you have holders with classes overriding all these changes you made…..effectively most of your starter sites are completely immune to your changes because they have their own classes overriding them.

Hello @alundra

If you were to look closely at these starter sites, you will see that there are no “custom classes” added, but a custom design made with third party Gutenberg blocks.

Our testing does not rely on these sites, but on a standardised build and real world examples from our customers.

In any case, are you open for collaboration in order to see your exact use case? ??

Thanks.

Sure where do you want me to send it? The blog post isn’t active yet but also shows what’s happening if that’s any help.

I chose Blocksy because it’s so simple and takes out a lot of bloat. I just wanted something fast and simple to use and work with so I could get a basic design up and then focus on content over the next few years while we study. Also a lot of other themes don’t integrate with the customiser and that’s a little crappy, so I liked that. It would be sweet to see a light/dark mode built in though that’s the only thing I saw in other themes (blockify) I wanted to see in Blocksy.

Anyway point is I don’t want to be adding any custom CSS or thinking about that stuff when I’m doing content so what I’ve done is extremely minimal. I’m not sure why you guys don’t see it in yours?

Hello @alundra,

You can use something like wetransfer.com to upload it and send it via our website – https://creativethemes.com/blocksy/support/

And we do have dark mode in Blocksy Pro – https://creativethemes.com/blocksy/docs/header-elements/colour-switch/ ??

Thanks!
