Hello Preston,

Sorry for late reply to this,

Could you mind provide us your backend and FTP access so we can access to your site to check on this issue, and provide some screenshot which part of your font face you would like to change it? Please advise

Thanks, but no need to actually make the fix for me. What I need to do is remove:

#discuss-wrapper {
font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Gisha', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'Lucida Sans', Lucida, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif;}

So that the font family will inherit from my site's template. My question is what is the best way to override this so that my change will remain when I upgrade?

Hello Preston.

You're welcome.
Regarding with your question, you can refer on our template overriding documentation >> http://stackideas.com/docs/easyblog/customizations/template-overriding
Hope this helpful.

Thanks, Arlex. I'm comfortable with the override process and how to use it when adding CSS to style.css.

My question is how do I use the override process when I want to remove CSS in the style.css, not add to it?

Again, I'm trying to remove this: #discuss-wrapper {
font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Gisha', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'Lucida Sans', Lucida, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif;}

So that EasyDiscuss inherits font attributes from my site template.

Hello Preston,

I'm Sorry that late reply to this,
Actually you can add this code in your template file, example : now your side is used this template file >>
JoomlaFolder/templates/meet_gavern/css/template.css

div#discuss-wrapper

{

 font-family: inherit;

}

So you no need to remove the css code from the theme file. Hope this help.
Please let us know if you need further assistance.

Perfect, Arlex. This is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks so much!

Hello Preston,

You're welcome. Thanks for getting back to us that is work prefectly and reporting this issues to us.
We will add this fixes in next release version.

Hi Alex

Would like to hang in. I think I have the same problem. The wireframe theme overrides my template css. If I deactivate the "font-family: inherit;" item in the media/com_easydiscuss/themes/wireframe/css/style.min.css the styling is correct again (see attached image).

There is a note in style.min.css saying that this file should not be edited as it is automatically generated. How can I prevent the inherit command? Removing it from style.css doesn't work...

Thank you very much and kind regards, Stefan

Hey Stefan,

Do you mean Easydiscuss page header title styling?

If yes, If you check again that css code #ed h1, #ed h2 .. we actually added specific class name with those h1/h2/.. tag so it prevent template override our Easydiscuss h1/h2/.. tag default styling.

If you would like to use back your template h1/h2/.. styling, you have to override it back e.g. :

#ed .ed-head__title h2 {

	font-family: yourtemplatestyling !important;

}

Hi Arlex (sorry wrote your name wrong in the first place)

Thank you for your reply. It's not just the heading title as you can see in the attached screenshot (sorry to not put a clear screenshot in the last post).

I've deactivated multiple options which all would we correctly backed by the template styling. The template is yootheme PRO and I would rather not override multiple items in a static css file. If I change something in the template I have to alter the css file too. I would like to have a more dynamic approach (if possible).

Is it not just possible to tell ED or the browser to not use those specific css items from ED but those from the template (I think that's not possible, but maybe you know something )...

Thank you and best regards, Stefan

By the way EasyBlog is handling the CSS correct (from my point of view) as there are the titles are in the template font.

Best regards, Stefan

Hello Stefan,

To override the EasyDiscuss font family to same with your template, you will need to re-declare the font family.
e.g.:
Insert css codes below into /templates/yoo_peak/styles/dove-custom/css/custom.css
[gist type="php"]
#ed {
font-family: 'Josefin Sans';
}
[/gist]

Hi Chang

Okay, thank you. Can you then please take a feature request that your products, especially ED, EB and Komento, should better respect the template styling regarding page header and fonts? Don't know if this is easy to achieve . Maybe a template that just leaves those stylings to the template. Something like a minimalistic theme...

Thank you and kind regards, Stefan

Unfortunately if allow template styling override into our extension styling, our extension stylesheet file size will become larger and some part of the styling will get messed up.

It would be best is use custom css to override it back your template styling.

Hi Arlex

Okay, thank you for the clarification.

Best regards, Stefan
