@jac Not hard to do (potentially) but it would mean changing the loading order of the plugins. Let me have a look.
Many thanks mate.
I think the issue falls as one widget is global and the other is situated under categories.
@jac Unfortunately, no. It’s the loading order of the plugin. I’ve changed it, but it doesn’t seem to have any impact, so the only “fix” is to remove the recent cards widget or place it elsewhere.

Thanks for trying mate.
That’s fine with me for it to be placed elsewhere.

@jac Ok. If you check your site, you’ll see it’s been moved to drafts for the time being so won’t be displayed.

@phenomlab Thank you, is there any way to change to a bolder font? or does this include google fonts again? I do have one in mind but need to add it.

https://fonts.google.com/?preview.text=Stockport County&preview.text_type=custom&preview.size=53
well… there’s a few. I wonder if these can be mixed and matched? One for titles, one for categories etc?

Yes, you need to target the text itself - see below (900 = heavy, 600 = bold, 400 = standard, 300 = light)
.PageHero-title { font-weight: 900; } -

@jac They can, but you will impact the loading speed of your site with too many fonts. Best to pick 2-3 max.

Trying to find out how to add this - <style>
@import url(‘https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Alfa+Slab+One&display=swap’);
</style> as the title font. hmm! -

You should place that line at the very top of your custom CSS file.

Really sorry to bother you mate.
I’ve just tried the instruction above. Unfortunately it comes up with an error when adding the code.
I’d like to see and know what I’ve done wrong
. Possibly a { missing or something? Just purely speculation which isn’t always a good thing

I also notice an alignment issue of the text and how to remove the other title that shows underneath? Clearly a work in progress so I do apologise and thank you for your patience.

Fixed. This is because you had
@import url(‘https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Alfa+Slab+One&display=swap’);When it should be
@import url('https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Alfa+Slab+One&display=swap');I’m guessing this was a copy/paste ?
This happens all the time ! -

Yes, see below
This is caused by your text being too long to fit in the allocated space. There’s a couple of choices here
- Make the text size smaller
- Enlarge the size of the viewport to accommodate
I personally wouldn’t recommend the second option as this isn’t really a fix and will look dire on mobile devices.

@jac said in NodeBB customisation:
how to remove the other title that shows underneath?
Primarily, with CSS, so
.topic [component="post/header"] { display: none; } However, this may cause a conflict, so using this small function below (goes in Custom JS) will do the same thing but be more specific for the target
$(window).on('action:ajaxify.end', function (data) { if (window.location.href.indexOf("topic") > -1) { console.log("This is a topic, so hide the stock header"); $('.topic [component="post/header"]').hide(); } else { // Nothing to do } }); -

That’s fine mate, make the title text smaller then would you say? either that or go back to how it was if it’s easier and just change the font etc?

A more elegant approach would be this
.Hero { min-height: 70px; } This way, we set the height minimum to 70px to get the same height when the text fits without issue. When the text is longer, the same
<div>will expand to fit. So, you go from this
To this
I also added these two
mediaqueries to handle the text size on mobile devices (it’s huge otherwise and looks, well, nasty)@media (max-width: 767px) { h2.PageHero-title { font-size: 1.8rem !important; } } @media (min-width: 1200px) { h2.PageHero-title { font-size: 3rem; } } I think this looks better. It’s active on your site now.
