I have the following problem

I made my templates, i have made entries and everything works fine.

The problem is that certain parts of the page (like the description or the main text of my article) are not styled properly from css classes (much smaller fonts) when the content is dynamic (i.e. from the entries) and they are styled properly if i write some static words through HTML.

It seems when the content is from EE the fonts become small which means that the css styles are not applied.

Any idea how to solve this please?

HELP!!!

I use EE 2.2.2

You can see in the link below that the text below title is fonts 12 while it must be 19. And the text of the article is also 12 while it should have been 15

Hi Isthmos,

I’m sorry you aren’t seeing the results you expect for your styles. What is happening here is that you have your styles applied to the tag in your html. That’s perfectly acceptable, but ExpressionEngine is also wrapping your content in tags when it displays. You can change this by changing the text formatting option for the channel field that contains this content. Go to Admin-> Channel Administration-> Channel Fields. Click the Group Name for the group that contains this field, then click the field label for the field you want to change. Look for “Default Text Formatting for This Field” under Field Options. Set the drop down to “None”. Now, in your templates, make sure the field name is between the tags properly:

{excerpt}

Where {excerpt} is the shortname of your field.

I hope this helps!

Cheers,

i ‘ve already done this but unfortunatelly i don’t see such an option “Default Text Formatting for This Field” drop down to “None” for Wygwam that i use for the main text of the article .

Any suggestion to fix it?

Anyone to help me?

Since WYGWAM is adding your p tags, i would wrap your excerpt with a div

<div class="txt16">
{excerpt}
</div>

and then in your css, have your p tags inherit their size from .txt16 (I would recommend renaming txt16 to excerpt, but that’s a different discussion):

.txt16 p{
    color: #333333;
    font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;
    font-size: 16px;
    line-height: 120%;
}

Thanks for help

well now the font size is proper but there is no separation in the paragraphs.

Look here the text of the article

Any suggestion?

You just need to add a bottom margin to the p:

margin: 0 0 20px;

Well not it works.

Thank you Barrel so much for your time and your help!!

Isthmos,

Just want to be sure that everything is working now? There seems to be a typo in your last post - I suspect that not should be now. Is there anything else I can assist you with?
