for all that space around the masthead, did you look at the padding settings in Masthead > title/logo?
that other button is to access social media. Those settings are in Social Media

Hi Rod,
I’m also getting all sorts of weird borders appearing as I try and stabilise the masthead area on my site. I think the issues I am having around the template for Essay is being affected by the same bug. I have decided not to try and make any more changes as despite saving settings, settings are being applied that I did not set.
The same may be happening here. Previously well behave and published pages are getting uncalled for borders.
My social medi button settings are also changing in presentation with regard to columns.
I reset them and save the changes and then annoyingly thet reset.

Thanks for the info.
It’s very frustrating to continue. Just when I had something I could live with, and I exported the template, I tried one change (the nameplate image). All the borders, paddings are back to some kind of default value!
If I were you Pierre, I’d just wait for Ben and Matt to find the error. No point in giving yourself hassle. I’m sure the cause will be found soon enough.
Less frustration that way, and you only dig yourself into a big hole tring to fix a leak you have no control over.

You are so right!
Silver lining: Having to change all those settings back over and over again gets you really familiar with where things are
That’s one way to put it…
I’m still chugging along. now on the social media button. Trying to implement the Instagram icon but all I get is a solid black button. The link works but I would like the Instagram logo. I put an Instagram logo in the img folder created to add images to the site. But the link doesn’t seem to be recognized.
Don’t worry about that green background. I often colour the different areas of a page to better understand their size and relationship to other areas on the page.
Make sure that your button colors work together. Background and text color should not be the same. And you don’t need the quote marks for the Icon name
Got it. Chose RED as the color but the icon is so small. Is there a way to have a “real” looking icon?
Yep, you can add the font awesome codes for sizes. You can even change the particular instagram icon being used.
Here I changed the icon and doubled the size:
This is what it looks like (I left the others at the default size):
I just searched the Font Awesome site for Instagram and got this:
Thank you Rod. It works as you said.
But, I’m stopping work on this project out
of frustration. As soon as I wrote “instragram-square fa-2x” and saved…you guessed it: all borders and padding reverted back to how they were.
Hope a solution is found soon.
Me too!
@Ben, I have mysterious borders being set also, not of my making. Visible in Firefox and Chrome. These borders are clearly visible in my Essays that were previously OK. This all started for me once I created a new private essay with the same template that had been used before. Settings around the masthead keep changing without my input and now the images are being presented with borders, again, not of my choosing.
Social media button options also keep setting themselves.
Hope that helps?
Masthed and image formatting borders
I’ve tried Firefox Developer and Chrome on a Mac and Edge on a PC: same mysterious resetting of paddings and borders to what seems to me as default values. It’s very frustrating to change whatever and have these settings change from custom to default.
I am trying to upgrade Okapi pages by creating a similar design in Pangolin.
But, it’s two steps forward and one step back all the time.
Matt and Ben are on it
Hi Pierre,
Problem fixed. Click on Reinstall all in Backlight Modules.
Thank you Matthew and Ben for swiftly addressing this issue. I have updated all modules. But two sites I manage were already updated, including the site discussed on this thread!
Did you click on “Reinstall all” for those two sites?
I just did and trying to get rid of that social media icon, I get reset borders and padding again!
Cleared the template cache also. Will now reset everything, exit and come back. Maybe this will work.
UPDATE: Seems to work fine now. Thanks again!
I’ll be starting a new topic about a bilingual site and how to best create it but still relating to this site.
