It just did it again! I set the horizontal navigation in the Masthead and…all that orange!
Of course, all the borders are back at 24px.
This has been happening to others too. I’ve had it happen to my test sites as well as my main site. You might have noticed that the padding around the masthead reverted to 125px too, as well as some settings in the Layout, Footer, etc.
You may see setting like this as well, with the slider in the middle, yet the numeric value at 0.
If you nudge the slider you might see around 125px for the padding and 24px for borders.
I’ve alerted @Matthew to this.
You mean I am not alone? I was starting to feel guilty. Of course, reverting the navigation back to disabled solves nothing. I’ll have to review all borders and padding settigs again!
I’ll get back to this tomorrow.
I’ve changed things as simple as album template text and had things go bonkers.
It might be worth exporting your templates as you work, just to have a saved copy to import if needed.
(I just tried it, it works great)
I’ve saved the TEST template once I “cleaned” it up of all those orange borders. Good.
But, here is a new one: I change the aspect ratio of the Primary Masthead and low & behold, more orange borders. But this time, the border settings are at 0 !!!
It’s going to be painful to keep working on this project.
I restored the template to it’s defaults. Bold move, I think. Maybe the “bug” got zapped? Not so fast. Orange borders appeared as soon as I started editing the template. The sliders are at midpoint but the box says 0. And that black frame on the nameplate, how come? Still have not found. Going ahead with the editing…
That’s what’s been happening. I’ve been finding that once I leave the template and then come back to it, all those problems will come back upon saving the template again.
You can import and apply the exported template and everything should go back to what it was before. Unfortunately, making any more changes and saving them can cause everything to go nuts again.
Ben and Matt are looking into it.
I don’t know why, that’s something for Matt and Ben to figure out.
The orange color is probably coming from you main color settings. But those big fat borders (24px) are coming out of the template from various places. The one around the masthead is probably from the title/logo section of the Masthead control group.
I disabled the masthead than but it on again and…no more black background!
The orange tint is my doing: I wanted to spot all borders in order to remove them.
I now coloured the masthead area in yellow. Trying to shrink this area to a more manageable size.
And those buttons beside the navigation. One if for the language switch but what is the other one?
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.
TomO
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:
And sizing:
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.
