# Text Overlay Error

 * I logged on to my site – [http://www.triskelepublishing.com](http://www.triskelepublishing.com)–
   for the first time since last Monday today. Last week everything was working 
   perfectly, now I discover that whole sections of text are overlaid on top of 
   other text rendering the entire site unusable.
 * This has never occurred before and I have not changed any of my settings over
   the last seven days. Complete mystery to me and I have no clue as to how to fix
   the problem.
 * Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

 * Hi triskelepublishing,
 * You have to change the CSS code in stylesheet on line number 301 style.css which
   is available in theme Directory.
 * `line-height:0;` to
 * this `line-height: inherit;`

 * Hello,
 * The line height on the body tag has been changed to ‘0’ which is causing this
   error. The default value is: 1.75.
 * Check the style.css file in your theme, and around line 301 you should see this:
 *     ```
       body,
       button,
       input,
       select,
       textarea {
           color: #1a1a1a;
           font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif;
           font-size: 16px;
           font-size: 1rem;
           line-height: 1.75;
       }
       ```
   
 * Check all the above values match, particularly the line height. That should fix
   your overlapping text problem.
