All the widgets are having same formatting

Hi,

First of all thanks for creating such a wonderfull plugin. It is so easy and powerful. Better than many paid alternative.

I am having a problem while using it though. I am using the Canvas theme (Wootheme) on my blog. In the canvas theme, there is a default option for formatting the widgets (i.e. font color, size, font-family etc). It is a setting which can’t be switched off and can only be changed to the desired output. So what happens is that when I create a paragraph and a two rows using Siteorigin’s Pagebuilder, the entire content adopts the inbuilt formatting of the widgets as defined in the theme settings. As a result, my entire blog post is appearing as if a widget from the sidebar has been made bigger in size and posted in the middle.

In short, please tell me how to control the formatting of the widgets I create using Pagebuilder ? I am not a css expert.

Regards,

Eklavya

    Bumping this cause there has been no response to this or my other thread about the same issue.

    In Woothemes Canvas there is a widget setting page that overrides all the text in your widgets. See the screencast here:

    http://screencast.com/t/EiHg6TX3Dl7

    As you see from the video… this CSS here:

    .widget p {
      font: 300 13px/20px "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif;
      margin-bottom: 15px; }
    
    .widget h3 {
      margin: 0 0 0.8em 0;
      padding: 0 0 0.8em;
      font: normal bold 14px "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
      color: #555;
      border-bottom: 1px solid #e6e6e6; }

    Affects all of your widgets that rely on text in them..as well as your Hero Widget for the h3 tag. and probably others.

    In addition to the widgets screen in Canvas admin, there is also a typography screen as seen here:

    http://screencast.com/t/kSJ64FHI8

    Now if there was a way in a child theme CSS to turn off the above “widget CSS” and let the typography settings be inherited by all of your widgets… then maybe we could have the ability to format your widgets.

    Notice I said turn off the widget CSS and not override because all that would do is create new settings that affect all your widgets…we need to be able to format individual PB widgets independently.

    If you think using widget class IDs would work, please show us a detailed example of how you could set it up from start to finish.

    I realize this is a lot of stuff about one particular theme, but from my weekend reading your forums, I think this is something happening across other themes, even the ones you sell.
