[1.10.x] Font Size Problems After Move/Upgrade

1 May 01, 2008 18:19    

My b2evolution Version: 1.10.x

I just moved my website to a new host and upgraded to 1.10.x from 1.9.x. I have custom skins and intergrate a blog on my main page using a stub file. All went rather smoothly, that is everything looked OK using Firefox, but when I checked with IE, font size on my main page is huge. All were OK using 1.9.x on old server.

I moved all of the files from my old server that I knew were customized, though I don't remember a similar problem before.

I've been trying to figure this out for a couple of days, but not having any luck. I use the Firefox CSS plugin Firebug to help troubleshoot the CSS. I've fiddled with the CSS and cannot get anything to effect how IE displays. I may have some fundamental problems with the CSS, but it all worked before the move.

Another twist is in Opera, the blog part of the page is OK, but the text just above the div that holds the blog is huge.

Here is the URL for my main (problem) page that uses the stub file:

www.waynealumni.org

Here is another blog page that is OK:

www.waynealumni.org/blog/

Any help would be appreciated.

You must delete this part from _main.php and find another way to include your own text in header.

Now you have 2 <head> and 2 <body> sections which make your page invalid.

Yes, I see said the blind man! I think I can figure it out from here. I'll let you know when I get it fixed.

Thanks so much.

I love it when customization that includes removing the link-back messes up a blog.

I thought it might be the problem, but after I started to look at the files on the old server, I didn't see anything that was different. I tried anyway, to ensure there was only one body and one head tag, but no help.

I'm still looking, if anyone has any ideas, please let me know.

Open and compare _main.php files from skins/WayneAlumB and skins/WayneAlum.

Bad code is in skins/WayneAlumB/_main.php

Thanks for the replies. It wasn't the _main.php, they are different due to the placement of each blog. But it got me to compare my old index.php with the current one.

The problem was a stray <h2> tag above the b_stub div, leftover when I added some temporary code before the blog was moved to the new server.

I should have paid more attention to the clues - changing the CSS had no effect on IE, and Opera had problems with that section.

The browsers these days seem to work similarly when presented with good html, but the results are more unpredictable when trying to handle bad html.

Thanks again.
