Yep, i’m glad having at least one of the 1000 go-from-local-to-live-version little ‘surprises’ solved ! ^^

I’m going to write a little review as you requested for sure, it’s the least i can do.

Tobias,

Sorry for having bothering you with this problem, as i -thank to your answer and the fact i pick up this copy-paste from the options frontend- just found out what was the cause of this disfunction.

As you notice, the font-family indicates ‘lato’ which is… the font i used in the previous version of the site (it’s Noto Sans now). I assumed i didn’t noticed it before, because just the macrons were affected (both fonts look pretty similar), and probably this font family doesn’t include specific caracters like macron, so it picks up whatever font can be used from the system by default, explaining the size/family change.

Well, my apologies to you for having wasted your time, and my thumbs up for the good job and patience you demonstrated. =)

Tablepress is in deed a very good and free plugin, and it’s very useful to me, as the solutions for tables within VC are not matching my needs.

Again, a big thanks to you, and sorry for my mistake !

Have a nice evening, Tobias !

Thank you for your quick answer, Tobias. =)

Well, not exactly. If you have a closer look at the screenshot, you’ll notice that the macron caracters are bigger as the ‘normal’ ones, which is the inverse situation as on my laptop or my wife’s one (i just had a look at her to be sure). We use both firefox browser, but i also checked with Explorer, and encountered the same phenomen, with macrons decreasins their size and changing somehow their font family, which is kinda weird.

Now concerning any CSS changes, the only one i made are those below, which -following your plugin tips- i integrated the options frontend from the plugin :

.tablepress thead th,
.tablepress tfoot th {
	background-color: #1abc9c;
}

.tablepress thead .sorting_asc,
.tablepress thead .sorting_desc,
.tablepress thead .sorting:hover {
	background-color: #fff;
}

.tablepress,
.tablepress tr,
.tablepress tbody td,
.tablepress thead th,
.tablepress tfoot th {
	border: none;
	margin-bottom: 0 !important;
	font-family: lato;
	font-size: 16px;
	color: #393939;
	line-height: 1.2;
	padding: 4px;
}

Hi Tobias !
I had pretty much things to do these last weeks between travelling and working on my website, as well as searching for a new host and start the migration and tests there.

I made here a short break, as i’m currently correcting the tables in the live version to provide you with an url where you’ll be able to vizualize for yourself the problem, and maybe proceed with the investigation.

Please have a look at my post urgences, which hosts several tables with this macron problem.

As you can see, this problem occurs only when using macrons within the tables in a expand content element from Visual Composer.

Thanks in advance for your advices.

Hhmmm… That’s very weird. I finally managed to update the test website but depsite my efforts, i couldn’t reproduce the same issue as on my website, which kinda suprise me as my actual website is pretty free of failure. I have on both websites same theme, options, css-style, plugins, wp, updates… it’s a copy, just without the articles.

What is very strange too, is that my website displays also incorrectly the color of the text, which should be black or black grey (#393939) but instead, it’s like you can see on the previous screenshot a light teint of grey which is nearly like gradient, making it sometimes difficult to read the caracters. Note : only the kanji are very clear black displayed…

I would really like to upload the website, but it isn’t possible yet, and i can even not replace the test website with it, as hostinger crashes all the time (takes very long to upload).

I’ll try to build a one page website from my actual site to reduce it’s weight to maximal, and upload it on box.com in order for you to test it, if you want. I’ll then provide you the link privately.

I understand. I was trying to set up my test-site by hostinger, but i encounter since a few days 404 errors there, so they’re currently moving the website. I’ll try to find another free hoster in order to upload a mini-test website for you to debug.

Hallo Tobias,
Und vielen herzlischen Dank für die schnelle Antwort !
Verzeiht bitte meine Rechtschreibung, ich bin halt kein Deutscher (oder nur zur H?lfte von meine Mutter ^^).

Also, hmmm… Die Seite ist aktuell nicht online, da ich offline drauf arbeite mit Instant WP. Ich habe aber eine Test Seite woanders, die ich gerade in Ordnung bringe, und werde halt die gleiche Seite darauf uploaden mit gleiche Plugins, evtl kann ich dann der Problem reproduzieren. Wie siehts eigentlich aus mit scharfes S und andere Deutsche Karaktere? Ich denke mal ok, oder? Die Franz?sische Karaktere mit Akzente sind auf jedenfall korrekt angezeigt, nur die Makrons nicht leider… =(

Ich werde mich auf jeden fall wieder melden soweit ich etwas auf die Test-Seite aktualiziert habe.

Nochmal danke in voraus ! Sehr reaktiv ! =)

Thank you for the answer.

Well, the browser is Firefox (up to date) and the font family (noto sans) is included correctly in the template. As it is a google font which supports macrons and other diacritical characters, it’s kinda weird.
But nevermind, i solved the problem. =)

[double post : edited]

Any idea for solving this issue ?…

I noticed a problem with my previous linking, so i’ll post here again a new link to an example of this macron issue.

problem with macron

You’re welcome. ??
I thought i could help with this easy one.
*back fighting with his server*

Hi visht !
Can you be more precise please?
Do you wish to change the social icons (in the header and footer)?
First you must know they aren’t images, they are FontAwesome caracters.
So what exactly do you wish to do? Replacing them with your own customized images (also clickable and including link?)?
If you don’t wish wish to use these FA icons, i would strongly suggest to simply deactivate them in header and footer (appearance > theme options > social links), and to install some plugin matching your expectations, like for example this one.

I think that you’ll get the same answer as the previous person : WPML (or any other alternative plugin like polylang, transposh, qtranslate, etc).

Hi.
As already said, site is offline, as i’m working on instant WP.
To answer your question, as i’m somebody organized, from the start i copied the “green” skeletton from original style.css in my custom style.css, which means i have all the “areas” (header, sidebar, widgets, footer, whatever…) in this sheet but empty (except for the modified parts i added). So, everytime i need to change something in the design, after having target the element with firebug, i report to the original style.css, copy the selected part to my own style.css in the same “green” area as on the original, and modify it there as i wish. So, about above/below, as it is on a separate child theme and knowing not all the sheet is copied on my custom css, but just the modified parts, i could not say…

For the moment, just a few parts didn’t work when using the custom style.css, and had to be copied in the custom css field from the theme:

.featured-post .featured-overlay{background:#adadad ;}
#content {
padding: 10px 0;
}
#call-to-action{
background: #777777;
padding: 10px 0;
color:#FFF;
}
#call-to-action h4{
font-size: 26px;
margin-bottom: 0;
float: left;
color:#FFF;
font-weight: normal;
font-family: ‘Open Sans’,sans-serif;
max-width: 85%;
}
#top-section h1 {
margin-bottom: 5px;
text-transform: uppercase;
}

It’s somehow completely random -just my feeling- if it’s work or not in the custom style.css, and i cannot get why it’s so, this turns me crazy. ^^ I’m pretty sure there is a logic reason which i didn’t found out yet for this, but impossible to know which it is…

Hi ! =)

Well, the problem is still the same, maybe my explainations were too long/bad. So, here again :

Some modifications just become effective if written in the custom css and not the child theme style.css

For example, to reduce the space between the header and the post titles, i have to write this :

#content {
padding: 40px 0;
}

But if written in the child theme, no effect. So, i have to copy/paste it in the custom css, and i was wondering why.

Hope this was more clear as explaination. ??
