On second thought, the other remaining problem on the site is more serious, and I think I’m going to spend the weekend trouble-shooting it. So for the time being, I’m marking this one resolved and moving on with the next thing on the list. Thanks!

Hi! Sorry! I turned it off because it looked silly.

But I just turned it back on so that the problem is visible. The Jetpack “top posts & pages” widget shows “There are no posts to display.”

I’ve fixed some caching issues that were broken by the WP upgrade, but now everything seems to be working except Top Posts.

If you have any ideas, I’m very appreciative!

Hi Tom!

I upgraded to the new GP and tried going back to google fonts (Merriweather Sans) in the body.

Unfortunately, good news, bad news. Something new is going wrong with the text–words now overlap each other. The old problem of words overlapping outside the text box stopped happening, however.

You can see the occasional overlaps here: chrome-extension://alelhddbbhepgpmgidjdcjakblofbmce/edit.html

It looks like it’s mostly happening when links appear.

To make this more of a mystery, I have another site that runs on GP (newest version) and it’s currently using a Google font (Open Sans) without any problem. It was an accident that I set it to Open Sans, because I’d concluded I should stick to the default fonts, but since setting it to Open Sans, I haven’t seen a single problem with overlapping text or spacing issues. And I spend a lot of time working on this site, which is at http://www.koreandrama.today.

Because Open Sans is working on that site, I tried Open Sans on the site with the issue. No overlapping text.

So it seems the problem is not google fonts in general, but something weird about Merriweather Sans. Go figure!

Thanks for all your hard work on GP! My busiest site is loading quickly and looking good.

Hi Tom! Since I went to All Arial All the Time, no problem. I guess for the time being, I’ll stick to the default fonts for my text. I’d love to do Open Sans, though! If I discover anything else, I’ll let you know.

By the way, I love the theme, just got it up and running with add-ons on another site of mine and the site loading time is improved as well as the look of the site. GenPress has just the right amount of options for me–I’m a writer who’d rather be writing, but I do want to make my sites look good.

The deciding factor for me was that GeneratePress does a great job with readability. Most WP themes appear designed for photographers, not writers. I want generous font sizes and spacing that invite readers in, and these are astoundingly hard to find in WP themes. Most themes have tiny font sizes, and minimal spacing. I appreciate that your theme works for writers and readers. Thanks so much!

Hi Tom,

I mostly use Chrome. I haven’t been able to replicate the problem on Firefox, IE or Opera.

The site I’m working on is at http://www.jessamineprice.com.

It doesn’t have any plug-ins installed (yet, hopefully I’ll get this text thing fixed up and start tweaking).

I did experiment with font sizes a bit when I first installed this theme, but I think the only thing I actually changed was the font.

Any ideas? Thanks so much for your help!

Thank you!

A question: When I deactivate the Tiled Galleries module, will all those photos need to be re-entered onto the pages where I had galleries? I make a lot of use of tiled galleries.

Thanks for your help.

Ah! Thank you! I disabled that plug-in and the images are loading normally all across the site now. The site speed seems to be exactly the same too.

It must have been an issue with the “lazy load” feature in the speed pack. Thank you for helping me fix this one!
