Hi guys,

As suspected, I have a list of questions that requires your assistance please. Please note that I am NOT technical and therefore unable to mess around with code.

I've been using all these items quite happily for some time using the previous version of EasyBlog, but EasyBlog 5 is proving extremely frustrating.

1. I have been using a .png file to sign off each blog post for almost 2 years. It has a transparent background and no border, but when I insert it into my blog post, it has a border (even though the block option is clear). How to I remove this border? I have had to sign off my latest post with plain text, which is not my preference.

2. I am unable to change the font used by the headings below level 2. I am using the rt_voxel_responsive template and I have set my font (Template Manager/Edit Style) to a Google font "Josefin Sans". It has changed the font everywhere else, including Heading 1 and Heading 2, but Heading 3 onwards are reverting to Arial. I have tried using a standard font and the same is happening. The style is not applying itself to headings below Heading 2.

3. Is it me, or is there no "undo" (Ctrl Z) facility??

4. How do you link images to the post before publication? I used to do this by copying the URL during the preview and adding it to the image, but it seems the preview no longer links to the post.

5. Where do you change the image's alt information?

That's it for now.

Thank you!

Sue
Hi Sue,

I am sorry for the late reply for this.Kindly please find my response to your inquiries below:

Can you provide us your Joomla back end and FTP access, so that we can further assist you on this.

3. Is it me, or is there no "undo" (Ctrl Z) facility??

Correct me if I am wrong, As I understand here it is for compose entry.If it is yes.
Yes, the undo function can be use.

4. How do you link images to the post before publication? I used to do this by copying the URL during the preview and adding it to the image, but it seems the preview no longer links to the post.

Hmm, there is no way we can linked the image to the post before publication, because the link for preview is different.

5. Where do you change the image's alt information?

Unfortunately, we cannot change the image's alt information currently.

Hi Fahli. Thanks for your responses. I'm disappointed that we can't link to our posts before publication (this really helps email subscribers) but I'm actually stunned that you can't change the image's alt information.

Thank you Arlex.

I remain without solutions to the issues with my image and the heading fonts, per items 1 and 2 above. Can you assist?

Hey there,

I am really sorry for the delay of this reply as it is a weekend for us here.

It seems like that was a bug for the heading block should be allow to change the font size, family and etc.

I still investigate this issue in my locally.

By the way, if you needed this solution, I already applied following css in your current template ( JoomlaFolder/templates/rt_voxel_responsive/css/template.css )

/* temporary hack for easyblog heading h1,h2,h3 */
div#fd.eb .ebd-block[data-type="heading"] h1 {
font-family: 'Josefin Sans' !important;
}

div#fd.eb .ebd-block[data-type="heading"] h2 {
font-family: 'Josefin Sans' !important;
}

div#fd.eb .ebd-block[data-type="heading"] h3 {
font-family: 'Josefin Sans' !important;
}

/* hide the border from the image block */
div#fd.eb .eb-image-viewport {
border: 0px !important;
}


Can you give it a check is it work fine now? This is temporary solution, what you need to do is if you insert [heading] block in your blog content, you just select which size e.g. h1,h2,h3 , then save the post.

Above css will change the h1,h2,h3 to use font family : Josefin Sans
