Hi @ahmeddr

I saw that in one of the latest updates you fixed the widget to show scheduled banner. Thank you.

I want to share with you a few things:

• As the shortcode workaround, scheduled banners or expired banners are not invisible and create a blank space. This didn’t happen once. Once there were no traces of scheduled banners or expired banners even if I put a widget with those in sidebars or elsewhere. You can find a screenshot here.
• Versions ago, when a banner expired, its row in the backend was colored yellow. Could you bring this feature back? It was very useful.

Kind regards

Hi @humayonk ,

Sure, I’m pressing regular line break

Shift + Enter

Here my steps to reproduce the issue:
1. Only Classic Editor activated with Astra theme;
2. Write a few lines with paragraphs (Enter button) inside a post and save;
3. Change that lines replacing paragraphs with line breaks (Shift + Enter) and then save the post.
4. Now in that lines appears the span code with font size 16px.

As update, yesterday I tested all kind of fonts with some different dimensions, also all Astra defaults, but nothing changed. When I save the post after typing the line break, there is always the same code into that lines:

<span style="font-size: 16px;">

And always 16px regardless of the font size I set.

The tests were made both online with different hosting and domains (we have a lot of Astra installations) and offline with MAMP.

Hi @humayonk ,

Thank you. Sadly Astra is already updated to the latest version.

I really don’t know to to do. I will try to reproduce the issue offline with MAMP too.

Hi @humayonk

Sure, you can find screencast here: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/46ag2psu5ezszw6ut3kci/Registrazione-schermo-2026-02-05-alle-10.29.23.mov?rlkey=1b7lzmiyjmq5zavble5sqnxgi&dl=0

Screencast was made with all plugins deactivated except for classic editor and maintenance mode (already checked).

As further info, I can tell you that yesterday I tried to write a post with block editor and line-breaks worked perfectly. So there is a compatibility problem with Astra and classic editor.

If can help, I also tried to ask help to Chatgpt and it tells that:

Yes, what you are describing is a known behavior of Astra (especially with the Classic Editor): when you insert a line break (<br>), the theme automatically intervenes in the content and “wraps” it with:

<span style="font-size: 16px;">

to apply the default font size.
However, this pollutes the HTML and breaks your CSS rules, as you have noticed.

🔴 Why this happens

Astra applies font sizes to inline text using dynamic JavaScript/CSS.
When you use <br> inside a paragraph, the system tries to “normalize” the text and ends up inserting those <span> tags.

This does not happen with normal <p> tags.

So the issue comes from:

Classic Editor + <br> + Astra typography system

Best regards

Hi @ahmeddr ,

I just want to know if there are updates about the fix for scheduled banners not showing in widget.

This is a very fundamental feature.

Please, let me know.

Thank you!

Hi @frankremmy,

Thank you for your help.

I tried to switch to Twenty Twenty-Five and everything works. But after few tests, I found that is not child theme faults but the parent theme.

I really don’t know why because the only 2 woocommerce files that are modified both in parent and child theme are product-searchform.php and archive-product.php. In child theme I fixed the 2 file to make them compatible with the latest versions of Woocommerce following the istructions on woo website.

Do you have any ideas how to isolate the problem and fix it?

Thx!

No matter, thank you anyway.

I found myself the answer. There are 2 possible causes:

1. During cloning, the serialization of the widgets (in the database) may have been altered or converted into strings.
2. The clone might have a corrupted value in the field of the widget in the wp_options table.

In any case ChatGPT wrote the right code for me and fix the issue.

I’m wondering if it’s possible to delete this topic since it violates the guidelines.

Thank you @threadi

My host has all the features you mentioned so I’m fine with it.
