Plugin: S2 Framework Mod – Font & Formatting Problem

I installed S2 Framework, and seem to have set that up fine.

I found some php code which allows a non-paying level user to read part of the article, and then there’s a message directing them to register if they would like to read more.

This is the code, which goes in the child functions.php file:

<?php
add_shortcode('dw-post-more','dw_post_more');

function dw_post_more($atts,$content){
	extract(shortcode_atts(array("level" => 0),$atts));

	if(current_user_can("access_s2member_level".$level)){
		return do_shortcode($content);
	}
	else {
		return '<span style="font-family:Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;color:444444;"><a href="'.S2MEMBER_MEMBERSHIP_OPTIONS_PAGE_URL.'">The rest of this article is for paid subscribers.  Click here to subscribe.  If you are a paid subscriber, you may not be logged in.</span></a>';
	}
}
?>

I’m using a 2012 theme, with all my changes in a child theme. 🙂

The big problem I’m having is that any content inserted within the shortcode for this mod is formatted in the wrong font, colour and size. I added the “span style” html because otherwise the message came out in the wrong font too!

The shortcode is [dw-post-more level="1"]EXAMPLE CONTENT[/dw-post-more]. So in this example, the EXAMPLE CONTENT wording appears in a smaller, different font in a different (lighter) colour.

I simply don’t know how to get the content inside the shortcode to format like the rest of the page. The only solution so far is to manually set formatting html for every paragraph on the page – which is long winded and very time consuming. I’m sure there must be a better way.

My site is http://www.inspireyourdog.com

Although – as you’re not subscribing you can’t see it – you can see the sort of font and size that appears on the paid for content if you go to the contact us page – because that font and size appears for the Contact Form – which is a plug in.

I hope I’ve given all the correct information, and hope someone can help me from pulling my hair out – I’ve spent the whole day trying to figure this one out! 😀

Thanks for reading.
