Font size changing after update

[pacstar]

After installing the latest update (20.3.4), some of my text hyperlink font sizes have changed.

Here is an example page. https://www.pacificcoaststar.com/pcs/bolt_exhaust.htm Notice the font above the first image is now smaller.

Republishing the entire site does not fix it. I have to open each page in WWB and publish the page, then the font corrects itself. I don't need to change anything, just publish it. In WWB the font shown is correct.

If I do not open the page in WWB, and publish it, nothing changes.

It has happened on many pages. I have checked on different browsers, and the issue is the same. It has also happened on different sites.

Thanks

This is most likely related to DPI settings please see the following:
How to fix text size issues (DPI)?

[pacstar]

Enable High DPI is already checked.

Why did it only change the font size in one block of the flexpoint, and none of the others.

Here's another example : https://www.pacificcoaststar.com/pcs/yamaha-risers.htm

The font size changes in just one block. I don't need to change anything on the page to fix it, just open it in WWB and republish it.

I am not aware of any issues with text in the latest update. It only has changes related to the Photo Gallery.
If you need help with this, then please share a DEMO project (not the full project) and describe the exact steps to reproduce this behavior .

Pablo,

Here is a sample file. https://www.pacificcoaststar.com/pacifi ... ardemo.wbs

Any page under /bolt should have an effected font issue.

For example, the live version of https://www.pacificcoaststar.com/pcs/bo ... sories.htm has smaller fonts over the first image "Bolt Engine Accessories". But in WWB it shows the correct size. Other pages show the same issue, but in random flexgrid blocks. (if you check other live pages, note the subsite /pcs/ to get to the live page.

So my first thought was to just publish the entire site again, which did not correct it. But I did notice if I opened the page in WWB, then published it, it corrected the font. I didn't need to change anything, just open the page in WWB before I published it.

This started after I uploaded the new WWB update. I changed the footer in the site and then published the site to update the footer. That is when it changed the random fonts on the site. Before that, the pages were fine.

Thanks

I still do not think this is related to update.

When I open your project, I see many pages marked as “needs review.” This indicates that the pages (or the master page) were modified but the changes were not checked across all breakpoints and therefore have not been synchronized.
As a result, the style sheets, and consequently the font sizes, may be affected.

Also, note that the master page / master frame should be in the same folder as the pages that use them.

Pablo,

So that corresponds to with what I am seeing that I need to open (review) each page to correct the font size back to where it was.

But then you're saying that if I make a change to the Footer or header in the master page/frame, (like changing something simple like the copyright date) then I need to go through and review every page? I have hundreds of pages and the information appeared correct in WWB so I wouldn't have even noticed a change had happened such as it did.

I do agree though that it likely wasn't with this update. That was just a coincidence. It was probably updating the updating the footer and then publishing. But I'm still concerned why the font size changed when I published the site.

As far as the Master Page /Frame, I swear I remember the instructions said to place them in a folder called "folder 1". It does seem to be working fine, but if I change it to the main folder, do I need to go change the path in every page individually? Or is there a way to change it for all the pages at once?

Thanks again

Correct, because changes to the master page affect the layout of all pages that use them. A master page only exists during design time (because HTML itself does not have a 'master page' concept)
On the published page the master will be merged with the content.

Note that this is not new behavior, this has always been this way. This process cannot be automated because the layout can only be recalculated when it's visible.

OK, ouch! Since I have a lot of pages across multiple sites, doing that can be very time consuming for each page, let alone each breakpoint.... So, can you see if I have any setting that is causing the font size to change?

I have done full site publishes before with no issues, so is it somehow triggered by the updating of the Master Page/Frame? It did the same thing on each of my sites. Why did it happen in Random Flexpage boxes?

[Pablo]

In the Site manager you can see which pages need review.
Also, at the bottom of the page, in the breakpoints toolbar you can see which breakpoints were affected.

[pacstar]

Pablo,

I am aware of that, but 2 things;

1. If I change the header or footer (master page/frame) then by default, all pages will be changed and be marked for review, correct?
2. If the page appears correct in WWB, how do I know which ones need to be published? The WWB version appears correct, which would not prompt me to change or republish anything.

The issue/change is only discovered by looking at the remote/live site, not in WWB.

Thanks

If I change the header or footer (master page/frame) then by default, all pages will be changed and be marked for review, correct?

Correct, because these changes affect the entire structure of the page.

If the page appears correct in WWB, how do I know which ones need to be published? The WWB version appears correct, which would not prompt me to change or republish anything.

if you have changed the master page then all pages using that master page need to be republished. Because all HTML and CSS is affected.
