I am using the Vantage Premium theme as a parent theme. After updating to 2.3.3, I immediately noticed that all of my fonts were smaller, on all devices. I was able to fix that problem by simply reentering the font size information under: Appearance > Customize > Fonts.
I also noticed that the search icon had disappeared from the header. It appears in version 2.2.3. I know because that’s what I used to develop the site and it’s still installed on my sandbox version.
In searching this forum, I read that the search icon now uses a font. If that’s the case, how do I access it and update my search function?
Hi Tim
As far as I can tell, the issue is coming in with changes made in your child theme. It appears as if you’re using custom header code with the old search icon HTML class.
This should be a very easy fix though. In the header file of your child theme, change the line that looks something like this.
To this:
The difference being that the search icon class has changed from icon-search to vantage-icon-search. We added the prefix to prevent possible conflicts with other plugins.
Please let me know if you need any help doing this.
Okay Greg,
I’m a bit confused. I did not find that line of code in my header.php, nor in the header file of the parent theme. Instead, it was located in the index.php, of the parent theme, as the very first line. It even appears above the comments in that file… before the actual “get_header” code appears. This is really weird.
I’m not sure what the reasoning is behind this. I don’t want to change the index file, or even create one for my child theme, if this is not where this line of code should reside.
Hi Tim
Can you send a copy of your child theme to [email protected] so I can take a look at what’s going on? Be sure to include a reference to this thread to make sure that support email gets assigned to me.
Done.
Please let me know if you need anything else from me and Thanks!
Hi Tim
Thanks for sending that through. The line Greg is referring to can be found in your child theme in the /parts/masthead-logo-in-menu.php file.
Hope that helps. Let us know how it goes.
Thanks so much Andrew and Greg. That resolved the issue.
Thanks again for the help and the quick response.
Awesome, glad to hear you made progress there.
All the best.
