    Hi.

    I’ve been using OceanWP and Elementor for the past few weeks and really like it. However, within the Customize area, I just noticed that I cannot specify font sizes in % or em. I only have the px option in the child theme I’m building. I see that % and em are available at the _page_ level when editing with Elementor, but shouldn’t there be a more global option? Isn’t % or em font sizing necessary for making a theme responsive? What am I missing? Is the option right there and I don’t see it? Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you,

    Forrest

    Hello, yes, in a future release, I will directly put a text field instead of slider so you will be able to add px/em/%.

    When will this be happening? It seems critical for making a theme responsive.

    You can change the font size for desktop, tablet and mobile so there is nothing critical 🙂
    In the typography section, if you switch the customizer to tablet or mobile, you will see that you can add another font size.

    Yes, but only in px, not % or em’s. This isn’t truly responsive and makes designing a site much, much more work.

    I will try to fix this but it is a little complicated as users already use the Typography settings.

    Unless I’m missing something, this is a really big deal. As it stands now, one will have to design and test three pages for every one page, if it was responsive. And even doing that, the pages are only specific to three page dimensions. Phones and tablets with different resolutions and screen sizes will all render things differently. This is the whole point of having em or % typography to be responsive to the display device. Other themes seem to be able to offer responsive typography in one form or another.

    As I said, I will update the Typography settings, I just need to think how I will do so the users who already use the font size, line height, etc.. will see no changes or errors.

    If you use Elementor to create your page, you can use % or em.

    Yes, I know of the Elementor option. That is what I will do for now. The problem is that is on a page by page basis, not site wide. Thank you.

    You’re welcome 🙂
    I will check how to do this without breaking the settings for the users who already use them.

    Not on the side wide but you can create a page template then apply it to each new page you’ll create now onwards
