Adventure Journal theme changed default font etc

  • Sorry but I’ll be upfront now and confess how little I know about formatting etc. The latest posting on my blog – https://www.placeoddity.com – has come up with what appears to be a different font etc from the previous posts. I write the original posts in Word 2013 v15.0.4551.1512 and cut and paste into WordPress, presumably with the same default options as I’ve always used. Any help gratefully received. Thanks – David

  • If you look at the text editor instead of visual in the first post in wp-admin you can see a style inside the paragraphs in <span> elements:
    style=”font-family:’Times New Roman’, ‘serif’;”

    In the older posts there’s a style:
    style=”font-size:12pt;font-family:’Times New Roman’, ‘serif’;”

    The difference between these two is that the first uses font-size: 14px and second a size of 12pt, you could try defining the font size to 12 in Word and then copy it again and update the post.

    You could also paste the font-size: 12pt to every <span> element in your post, but that takes more effort since you have to paste to every paragraph in the post.

    Thanks, chirinyu. The Word files from various writers are all reformatted to TNR 12pt before being cut and pasted so maybe that something went glitchy at that part of the proceedings. I’ll reformat the Word file and then repaste into WordPress and see what happens. There’s always a dozen or so lines of coding that pops up on the published WP page between the beginning of the page and the first photo the first time I make a new post (I have to go back in and delete it using the Edit function before it disappears). Maybe this is another manifestation of Word not quite playing nice with WP.

    I found the problem. The spacing was different in the Word file from the previous postings. Many thanks for your help.
