EJ W. where do we report obvious bugs for this one?
Logan E.
·

Yeah, currently unable to preview the quick-start templates at the moment:
Keyur P.
·
·
Yes, however, I feel there is a higher priority bug I found that will frustrate users.

It completely nuked all the design settings I had on my template...

not sure if that's what Keyur P. is referring to here

Yeh and it's inconsistent on when all of my template setting vanished and when it works.

EJ W. I've been tweaking my template for over a year... I really hope the old settings are saved somewhere or it can be rolled back, because I don't remember all the settings, fonts, etc that I had before

Not sure if this happened to anyone else, but the new newsletter editor has basically overwritten my previous settings: changed the colors / fonts / padding, and I'm starting basically from scratch with a draft newsletter due to go out soon. 🥴

Maybe y'all should roll this back for now, 🔒[private user]?

Yup, experiencing all of these issues, too. 😬

Yeah same here…

thanks!!

Please next time before a feature rollout this big give some warning before nuking how everything works - which is pretty inconvenient if you need to send out something that day. I also think this should come with a "hey we just changed how newsletters are designed" pop up walk through" when you load up beehiiv since the change.

oh... had not this realized this til now, but all previous posts on the website are also completely messed up too. Where are the global settings that apply to all existing posts?

I also just lost the draft I prepared today..apparently it wasn't automatically saved per usual!
Tommy C.
·
·
Don't know if it's to do with this change but I can't edit the Font Family on a new Automation Email, its just stuck on PT Serif
Tom T.
·

I also lost my previous post style 😕. Also - I don't know how these changes affect post webview. There is an info that I need to use "webiste builder" - what option I should use? The information is totally incomprehensible to me what, where and how I should set.
Tom T.
·
·
So I should go to EVERY post and MANUALLY change post style? Because after your update the styles changed and looks ugly in all of my posts.

https://www.productacademy.pl Examples:
Quotations have different interlines
Headers have diffrent interlines
Table of contents have different interlines
Tom T.
·
·
I'm not sure. Colors and fonts are probably OK. Maybe the font size of headers, but I'm not sure.

Bug after Bug - this is how editor works in Safari (Macos)
Fernando C.

🔒[private user] so how do I change the formatting of the 2 recent posts? Yeah the older ones seem to have the right formatting
Tom T.
·
·
🔒[private user] on pages the interlines in headers are also broken. 1 hour ago (I worked on this page today) the interlines were smaller.
Fernando C.
·
·
🔒[private user] so big thing to know, the second I go into an edition it automatically updates to this broken formatting. That's why the first two are the only ones with this formatting
Fernando C.
·

I mean if you want to go ahead and fix it, I'd appreciate it. Thanks! 🔒[private user]

So, one of my publications is fine: https://newsletter.loopwp.com/ The other is not, and all posts have been updated to a new style: https://newsletter.allabout.email/p/issue-182-all-about-email
Simon H.

From a cursory glance (it’s 8:30pm in the UK) the font for the second publication has changed. The font styles in the second publication should be the same as the first (I used the old Beehiiv defaults for both publications).
Headings should be: ‘Trebuchet MS’,‘Lucida Grande’,Tahoma,sans-serif
Body should be: ‘Helvetica’,Arial,sans-serif

Might anyone know why this update has indented my author icon and byline in the email header, and i can't see to get it to be flush with the email headline?
Simon H.

So…if it helps anyone else, and in case you missed it earlier. One of my publications was fine, but the publication that wasn’t after the Beehiiv newsletter 2.0 internal migration had all the fonts messed up (which I’ve now fixed), and there was a random additional default template created. Beehiiv has confirmed that the 👇second default template should not be there, so keep an eye out for details in the video. https://www.loom.com/share/8c6d9a0af72f4ab4b0bdc2d9875c742a?sid=172f7701-4ba7-4af7-81e3-2382ecfd85dc

yeah, 10 px. but no matter what i change the padding to (whether zero or 10), it still floats wayyy indented. sorry this might be a stupid question, but it's been driving me nuts the past 20 minutes, lol.

Tom T. ^ We should wait for Steven's feedback, but just noting that these are custom pages, not posts, which is why they may be behaving differently. As far as I know the update today did not effect custom pages.

Happened to us too. Had spent hours setting up a design, then opened the "new" newsletter design tool and POOF it all got set to default. NOT COOL
Tom T.
·
·
I know how my pages looks like. I don’t know what you changed with this update, but it’s definitely affected my pages and posts
Tom T.
·
·
I’m waiting for your update. These pages sales 20-30k$ monthly so I need to know if you will fix it, what should I do or if I should handle it on my own.

Gotta say this is probably the worst roll out I've experienced with any product in awhile and I'm shocked there wasn't a revert.

I have a complex newsletter written that's showing fine in the editor but totally wrecked in web-preview and emailed preview. Is there a way to turn off the overriding style settings on a post? I need to schedule this pretty soon. I could manually fix the overrides but I can't find the global style settings... Am I missing something?
Angela H.

Respectfully, I know this is a huge step up, but messing up previous newsletter design settings is as frustrating as people are highlighting above. I made the mistake of trying to fix something that had been changed in one my newsletters that was written and scheduled before release, and it messed up the formatting of the entire email. Really hoping this can be resolved quickly.

I'm having the same issue as everyone else - the new editor completely reset all of my styling and formatting. This is incredibly frustrating
Mike P.
·
·
I even rolled back to a previous version of the newsletter from 20 hours ago and it updated it to the boilerplate styling when I preview the issue
Mike P.
·
·
Neither. I just duplicate the old issue every week and create a new one
Mike P.
·
·
Never had a need to create a template since my newsletter stays the same format every week
Mike P.
·
·
This is a big miss. I don't want to use a template
Mike P.
·
·
I just tested it as well and the formatting has been reset
Mike P.

Sure
