Having the same issue. How did you fix it? Menu down arrow and the home breadcrumb icons don’t render properly.

Hi,
Facing the same problem. The above CSS is also not working. Any help/suggestion will be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Ari..

If you don’t make child pages, the problem will go away.

[jnjewlz]

Prince Silvesten, I’d appreciate the info on how you fixed yours. Air, were we able to find anything. Thanks, Walt but I need child pages.

You’ll only get that issue if you access your site from a different URL domain than the one WordPress is configured on. This is a browser security limitation and not theme-related.
See http://webfonts.info/mozilla-firefox and https://developer.mozilla.org/En/HTTP_Access_Control and http://enable-cors.org/index.html for further information.

Testing the site in WordPress’ customizer renders the same result as it is displayed through an iframe.

Make sure you always use the right URL when browsing your site or enable cross-origin resources on your server/site.

Zed, thank you for your clarification in this matter. Nevertheless it is interesting that my page (still under construction) was working fine until the update and now, after installing version 1.2, every menu link with children is “decorated” with a black right-to-left arrow. Why was Firefox not reacting to this before – somehow this must be connected to the update, irrespective from any “CORS” stuff. By the way, site access only takes place via the URL registered in WP as well. Any idea?

This may be related to my post http://www.cryoutcreations.eu/forums/t/have-the-elusive-font-characters-been-moved-around

Do you have any hard coded CSS (e.g. in a child theme) that is defining what character is displayed after the menu item? I found that in successive versions this has mysteriously changed – apparently because of a change in the Elusive font that is used for symbols (which seems to me to be a very unusual thing to do if my interpretation is correct).

[Achim]

David, I am not using any child themes. Additionally I never defined any character to be displayed after the menu item either, at least not that I would know of … Nevertheless the change of the Elusive font sounds interesting. Maybe this explains as well why all the breadcrumb symbols are broken after the update.

[David]

My guess is that you’re effectively seeing the ‘opposite’ of what I’ve been seeing. We prefer to keep all our CSS in one file because it improves performance, so have to merge in the Tempera CSS manually each time we do an update. I was seeing the odd character in the menu because it appears that the font has changed and our existing CSS was pointing to the old character position, which now has a map marker in it. After merging the new CSS the correct down arrow appears.

In your case perhaps you are using a new version of the theme’s CSS but picking up an old version of the font (since you’re seeing a different character). My guess is that there is a cached version of the old font somewhere – either on your host’s filesystem or in your browser. I would suggest clearing your browser’s cache in the first instance, then going in via FTP and checking the date and time of the files in the theme’s fonts directory in case the update didn’t complete properly.

Hello,

I have the same problem since the last Tempera update. I’m using a child theme. In Firefox and Chrome, there is this weird symbol next to each menu item, instead of the down arrow of the previous version.
I don’t know how to get rid of it, or to get the down-arrow back.
Thanks for your help.

[Christine]

Sorry I forgot to put the printscreen to illustrate

[ensi]

Yes that’s the name for me… I was working on a very nice website, i did the last update and now i’ve got an ugly arrow near each item in the menu… and I find any way to disable it !
Please, help !!!

[Christine]

I have found a way to remove the ugly symbol. It’s not completely satisfactory because I would have liked to get the down chevron symbol back, but at least it works.
It’s simple: instead of a symbol, you put nothing.
So in the Tempera misc settings -> custom css, you paste this code:

#access > .menu > ul > li > a:not(:only-child) span:after {
    font-family:"Elusive";
    content: '';
    position: absolute; 
    right: 5px;
    top: 10px;
    z-index: 251;
	-moz-transition:all .2s ease-in-out;
	-o-transition:all .2s ease-in-out;
	-webkit-transition:all .2s ease-in-out;
	transition:all .2s ease-in-out;
} 

Since the content tag is empty, nothing is displayed. Probably it’s not necessary to paste all this code (it comes from the original tempera CSS), but I don’t want to mess up too much.

[Christine]

sorry for the code, this way is clearer:

#access > .menu > ul > li > a:not(:only-child) span:after {
font-family:”Elusive”;
content: ”;
position: absolute;
right: 5px;
top: 10px;
z-index: 251;
-moz-transition:all .2s ease-in-out;
-o-transition:all .2s ease-in-out;
-webkit-transition:all .2s ease-in-out;
transition:all .2s ease-in-out;
}

Hi,

Ever since the update, I have also had this problem. The nice V symbol has been replaced with a thick ugly back arrow. I also need child pages, and I’m very sorry Zed, but this is theme related. I access the site through one and only URL, so i really don’t understand how what you said would make any difference, Please fix it. For now I will try Christine’s solution.

[Zed]

If you’ve updated to 1.2, font files did get moved around. Force a refresh in your browser (Ctrl+F5 or Ctrl+R) to correct the fonts (and javascript code for that matter).

If you get weird squares instead of the characters, my previous answer still applies.

Hi,
When updating to 1.2 I had the strange arrow on Firefox while on IE I had a strange symbol like the one which shows location on a map. Moreover I lost the slider on IE (?!).
I refreshed both browsers (Ctrl+F5 or Ctrl+R) just like Zed said and everything came to place.
Thanks Zed!!
