Can you pass my screenshot about the spacing being too big regardless of setting please? They’re double what I think they should be to be comfortable, considering the spacing for the HEADER is the only thing changing it’s really distracting and it breaks the website.

You’ve lost me. I’m on the latest version and this is still an ongoing issue.

It started with massive margins added BELOW headers on the update right before Feb 5th.

….

Then it went to massive margins ABOVE headings around valentines day.

I’ve reported these changes with the updates they came with. The video shows both of these issues, it does not show a fix nor does it show the version before these became an issue which was perfectly working.

I really wish you guys would hear me.

Hey Eduard!

So if you look at your stream which is awesome by the way you’ll notice there is a difference ha ha. It’s the original report. In one of those captures the margin is BENEATH the title, in the other it’s ABOVE the title. I reported problems with the margin below and you guys moved it above which causes just as many issues :).

I think you need to compare these two with with the version before that one, and you’ll see a huge difference. I think that’s Version: 2.0.22 :).

Twenty Twenty balances their spacing for their theme. I am aware that there will always be spacing, that’s not the problem :).

I’ve set it to Spacious, which means that yes there’s gonna be a huge amount of space there. However this is not the issue. The issue is your formula for the space before most headings.

Please see this image that highlights that the space is always too much for every setting, even “none” has spacing for some headers which proves that your spacing is inconsistent.

I don’t think “comfortable” or “compact” are size appropriate either. Compact should be smaller, comfortable should be “compact” and Spacious should be just a little more than comfortable. These look doubled to me.

I don’t like the other settings they feel squashed but this one is now unbalanced since introducing that formula and frankly the margin at all. The theme felt very spacious before this, now it just feels like giant gaps.

I just think you need to re-balance. The problem isn’t me or the setting.

There’s no difference. I pasted the new copy and that raw into winmerge and there’s no differences. So it must be on your end :). Make sure you’re using Gutenberg and are in a page not a post I don’t know if that makes a difference. I don’t have other plugins either so make sure you only have Blocksy + companion, and Gutenberg.

Sure but like I said they are literally just plain Gutenberg blocks I changed nothing :). I just wrote what I wanted for title and clicked paragraph and changed to title :D.

Thanks for looking into it!

Oh that would explain all the excess html and why everything has extra css.

I couldn’t figure out how to get that plugin to send stuff without also sending passwords and emails (as it’s a full migration it doesn’t just copy the design unfortunately) so I temporarily uploaded a version to my personal website: jades-world dot com slash duffabird (sorry I don’t want it indexed and I don’t know how to add a noindex/nofollow link on here ha ha). The only plugins active are Blocksy Companion and Gutenberg.

If you hover over about there’s two samples, one each for plain page/blog.

Also those are custom classes on your starter sites. If I remove them the design completely changes…..so it’s not using Blocksy’s customiser to change the design globally, it’s relying heavily on custom classes added to the Gutenberg blocks.

There’s a previous post before this one sorry, it made a new page please check that one too :D.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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
