Ugly font layout after premium upgrade

I just upgraded to Pitch premium, which worked mostly fine, but seemed to have messed with the font layout on the start page. Before the upgrade everything looked like it should.

Probably a CSS issue, I would guess. Help greatly appreciated.

    Short update: After a bit of testing, it turns out this is a conflict between the theme and a plugin called “Advanced Excerpts”. When excerpts used in theme are created (for slides etc) while the plugin is active they appear different. This probably happened during the update from basic to premium.

    Disabling the plugin solves the issue, but that’s not an ideal solution. Maybe there is an easy way to override the “Advanced Excerpts” CSS.

    Thanks in advance for looking into this.

    Correct name of the plugin is “Advanced Excerpt”, sorry.

    Hi Allesroger

    Thanks for reaching out.

    You can perhaps give manual integration with Advanced Excerpt a try. I’ve prepared a child theme for you. It can be installed from Appearance > Themes > Add New: Upload Theme.

    https://siteorigin.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/pitch-child-advanced-excerpt.zip

    If you have any problems you can use your hosting File Manager or FTP to delete the child theme from /wp-content/themes/ on your server.

    With the child theme installed go to Appearance > Editor and edit loop.php. On line 34 you’ll see:

    <?php the_advanced_excerpt('length=320&length_type=words&no_custom=1&ellipsis=%26hellip;&exclude_tags=img,p,strong'); ?>

    The query string is where all the options are. Further info can be found here: https://wordpress.org/plugins/advanced-excerpt/faq/.

    If you remove all the query paramaters the end result on line 34 would just be:

    <?php the_advanced_excerpt() ?>

    Let us know how that goes. Hopefully helps.
