I’ve used Page Builder and Vantage on this website for over 10 years and have not experienced this problem. All of a sudden when I enter special font and size formatting, it will not retain this special font information when I upload the change. Even if I leave all coding as it has been for over 10 years and just change one letter in the text, it will reject it. Here is an example of one of the simpler formatting in the text field:
aR12, aR12-T3, aR12-T4 Conditioner
There are dozens of pages with this type of formatting where it works just fine. But as soon as I try to upload even a simple change like taking the “s” off a word and not touching the coding, it will strip that coding. Has there been some kind of recent change that I need to accommodate for?
LOL the text submission stripped the code from my example. here it is with brackets:
[aR12, aR12-T3, aR12-T4 Conditioners]
I was able to employ a workaround by substituting the Editor Widget for the Headline Widget and add it to the page. So this is definitely a headline widget-related problem. I have dozens of pages where this headline widget is on, so it would be greatly desirable to have a solution for the headline widget. It just doesn’t want to accept any kind of html formatting, even something as small as a line break.
Hi Picolat,
Thanks for getting in touch. Can you please paste a copy of the full formatting you’re using into a Pastebin? This will allow me to run some tests using the specific markup you’re using.
With that said, it sounds as though you may be using HTML to set the custom font – that would also explain why it was filtered from your reply. Older versions of this widget were unfortunately flagged as vulnerable to exploitation due to allowing more HTML than they should have (it’s quite an old widget). I’ll see if I can modify it to allow for standard content formatting HTML and I’ll confirm that once I have a copy of the code being used.
Depending on your usage, consider switching to the SiteOrigin Headline widget for new pages/content. You can modify the font list to include your custom fonts using PHP, so it’ll make it easier to apply fonts and change them out.
Kind regards,
Alex
Sorry for the late late reply! Here is my link to pastebin:
I DO use the Headline widget, but just on that one page I tried the Editor widget and it worked (uploaded my font formatting). That was my temporary fix.

Hi, thanks for the markup. I can confirm the feedback Alex sent above. Unfortunately, the Vantage Widgets required a security tightening which results in markup being removed. Apologies for the hassle. What you could do is switch to the SiteOrigin Headline Widget if and when an edit is needed. If the SiteOrigin Widgets Bundle is activated you can go to PluginsSiteOrigin Widgets to activate the Headline Widget and then insert it via the Add Widget button in Page Builder.
Hi Andrew, I don’t think you understood that the Headline widget IS the widget causing the problem with not uploading font formatting. Did you mean I should switch to Site Origin Editor? And can you explain why you can’t do a workaround for this as Alex suggested above? Alex quote “I’ll see if I can modify it to allow for standard content formatting HTML and I’ll confirm that once I have a copy of the code being used.” Thanks.
Hi, there is a Vantage Headline and a SiteOrigin Headline. In testing, the
SiteOrigin Headline is able to handle the required markup and changes to it. The two widgets are separate. Alex unfortunately wasn’t able to find a workaround for the Vantage version.
Hi Andrew, I did not know there were two headline widgets! I understand now. I tried the site origin headline widget out and it worked. Thank you so much for the clarification, I can work with this solution.
Super, glad to hear the Widgets Bundle SiteOrigin Headline handles the markup. Apologies for the hassle and thanks for your understanding.
Cheers
Andrew
