I've been playing around with a K2 test site and I'm really, really impressed with it but I'm trying to figure out what is happening when I add a "read more" to an item. The text before the the read more is larger -- like <h1> size large -- and then text after the read more is normal size (as it should be.)

Example #1, with "read more" (and broken text):

Example #2, without "read more" (text is normal):

Example #3: this is what the HTML code looks like for example #1:

URL for the page (Example #1): test.newriverwv.com/lodging/item/3-accommodations-slopeside-at-winterplace

I don't see any weird in the HTML and I also tried using a different template but the result was the same.

Any help figuring this out would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

The larger text is the introtext (the lead).
The rest (after the readmore) is the item's full text.

When you do NOT insert the read more, then all text is being treated as normal text.

Thanks for the reply and info, but is there a way to make the introtext look he same font size as the rest of the text and and to loose the bolding? I don't see anyway within K2 or Joomla of getting rid of the The BIG font and bolding in the introtext. I hope there is because the huge and bold characters really is NOT the look I'd want. Thansk.

I don't see anyway within K2 or Joomla of getting rid of the The BIG font and bolding in the introtext, e.g., changes to font size made with the editor get over-ridden, etc.

I hope there is, because huge and bold characters is something I do NOT want within the item's description.

Thansk.

You can remove all the introtext's (.itemIntrotext) styling from the k2.css file.
Remember to override the k2.css file.
Copy it from the /components/com_k2/css/ folder and paste it to your template's /css folder.

Thanks very much! That did the trick.

You 're welcome :)

One thing to add is to make sure to change the relative paths listed in k2.css for the various image files to match where k2.css is moved to. Before doing this the first thing I noticed was that the rating star images disappeared.

for example from this:
To this:

Hey there,

You can move the /images/ folder in your template's folder.
