FAQ

Styles appear in preview window but not on the site

• Use Firefox. Do not use other browsers, especially IE when using Style Manager.
• Ensure that your site is hosted on a server that runs PHP 5, not PHP 4. ServerBuddy plugin can be used to check this and more. You can contact your host for help on upgrading from a older version of PHP to version 5.

Preview window is too small to be usable

Ensure that WordPress address and Site address are the same at Settings -> General.

How to add fonts

• Before and After
• 
• 

It is possible to add font stacks and font sizes by adding code to child theme's functions.php.

Example code:

function customize_font_stacks( $font_stacks ) { 
    $new_font_stacks = array(
        "Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif"  => 'Arial',
        "Baskerville, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif"    => 'Times',
        "'Century Gothic', 'Apple Gothic', sans-serif"    => 'Century Gothic',
    );
    
    return array_merge( $font_stacks, $new_font_stacks );
}
add_filter( 'builder_filter_style_manager_general_font_families', 'customize_font_stacks' );
function customize_font_sizes( $font_sizes ) { 
    $new_font_sizes = array(
        '37px'      => '37px',
        '37%'       => '37%',
        '37pt'      => '37pt',
    );
    
    return array_merge( $font_sizes, $new_font_sizes );
}
add_filter( 'builder_filter_style_manager_general_font_sizes', 'customize_font_sizes' );

Useful tips and forum links

• See this forum topic on permissions. Summary: "Anyway I discovered the css files being created in wp-content/uploads were being created with rw rw — permissions and as soon as I changed the file permissons to be rw rw r it all worked perfectly."
• If you are using 1&1 hosting, create a single line .htaccess file with this code "AddType x-mapp-php5 .php" and upload it to the root. Source

Scope/Limitation

It is not possible to apply one set of styles to the complete module or individual widgets of a module differently than other modules of that type. i.e., the styles that you set to widget bar modules will apply to all widget bar modules. Ex.: You will not be able to apply say, a blue background to just one widget bar module while the rest of them have been set to say, a red background via Style Manager. For such changes, style.css has to be edited manually.
