Footer font weight

hi @starpro

add the following CSS code to the Custom CSS section of your wp:

.site-info {
font-weight: lighter !important;
}

didn’t test it, but it might work.

Can you post a link to your site please?

@windomerle – Thank you, but I had tried that already with no luck.

starpro,

It’s not possible to make it more lighter than it is already on your website.

footer#colophon .site-info {
font-weight: 100;
}

Or you need to use other font-family. For example Open sans.

Interesting, okay. Thank you. Can you advise, when using the slider, the footer text flashes as the slider swaps the image. At this point, the text actually appears to become non bold.

Two questions:
1) How do I stop this happening?
2) Could I make the text appear like it does as it flashes at the slide swap over all of the time?

Thanks.

starpro,

In default theme we don’t have such problem like on your website

On your website the footer text becomes not bolder, it changed the color in Chrome only. Maybe it’s happens after your customization. Try to reset theme on default settings.

I have just tried this, and reset the theme. The issue remains though.
It seems that it is when the slider is configured to slide as opposed to fade?

Would you mind trying it on yours, switching it to slide as opposed to fade and seeing if you see the same issue?

starpro,

Try to clear browser cache, looks like everything is okay on your website after reset.

With fade effect problem disappears?

Hi

Issue still exists. I was trying a tweak :-
html { -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; }

This does stop the flicker, but means that all the text on the page becomes lighter weight, so not the right fix.

I have searched on google and there a whole raft of comments around flex slider causing this issue, but a range of different ‘fixes’ that seem to have some side effects!

Just looking at different options, but if you have any ideas, please let me know.

Thanks
