Troubleshooting Common Redux Framework Typography Field Issues

If you're using the Redux Framework to manage your WordPress theme or plugin options, the typography field is a powerful tool for controlling fonts. However, several recurring issues can cause it to malfunction. This guide covers the most common problems and their solutions, based on community reports and fixes from the Redux Framework team.

Common Problem 1: Field Doesn't Save When 'font-style' is False

Symptoms: When you set 'font-style' => false in your typography field configuration, the field fails to save any data. Revisiting the options panel tab might even cause a blank screen or JavaScript errors.

Solution: This is a known bug that has been addressed in newer versions of Redux Framework. The recommended fix is to update to the latest version available from the official GitHub repository. If a general release isn't available, you can try the beta version where this issue has been resolved.

Common Problem 2: Font Weight & Style Dropdown is Empty

Symptoms: If you disable the font family selector by setting 'font-family' => false, the 'Font Weight & Style' dropdown may appear empty, even if Google fonts are also disabled ('google' => false).

Solution: This is another edge-case bug that the development team has fixed. To resolve it, delete your current copy of the Redux Framework plugin and download the latest version directly from GitHub. This ensures you have the most recent patches.

Common Problem 3: Font Size Copies to Line Height

Symptoms: When you enter a value only for the font size, that same value is automatically copied into the line height field.

Explanation: According to the Redux Framework team, this behavior is by design to prevent unpredictable results. The official recommendation is to always set explicit default values for both the font size and line height in your field configuration to avoid this automatic copying.

General Troubleshooting Tips

  • Check Your Code: Ensure your field arguments are correct. For example, the argument for line height units is line-height-unit, not line-size-unit.
  • Debugging: If you encounter a blank screen or JavaScript errors, open your browser's console (F12) to check for specific error messages. This can often point to a conflict or a specific bug.
  • Reporting Bugs: For persistent issues not listed here, it's best to report them on the Redux Framework GitHub issue tracker, where the developers can address them.

By understanding these common pitfalls, you can effectively troubleshoot and configure the typography field to work seamlessly in your projects.
