I’ve now tried everything to get CMS2 and formatting to work the way I want, and I’m unsure about the way forward.

1. I’ve deleted everything I added in Elements regarding CMS (blog), except for the articles (MD files) I’ve written.
2. I’ve rebuilt everything step by step following the CMS2 Part 1 video.
3. For headings in the blog I’ve used TEXT and body TYPOGRAPHY.
4. I’ve created my own Custom Typography for the blog.

**Result:** The blog loads, but doesn’t display according to how I set up the Custom Typography.

Since I’m not having any issues with Custom Theme Typography on my websites, I assume that your setup may not be configured correctly.

Could you show all the settings you’ve applied for **Paragraph** , **H1** , **H2** , and **H3**?

Also, please show whether you’ve configured the correct settings under **Font Family** — meaning whether you selected the correct font type and what your Font Family setup looks like.

Otherwise, without access to the project, it’s always difficult to say what exactly is causing the issue. If you want, you can send me the link to your project file via private message, and I’d be happy to take a look.

And now that I’ve just noticed it — it could also be because you set the wrong `<base href="/blogg/" />`.

Since your blog posts are actually located under `/blogg/innlegg/`, try using:

`<base href="/blogg/innlegg/" />`

We were able to solve the problem.

It was a combination of an issue with the `<base href="" />` tag and a not entirely optimal `.htaccess` configuration, which we have now adjusted.

Once @mrTablet has uploaded the new version to his server, it should work as intended for him.

I want to say a huge thank you to @Pegasus for helping me fix the issue with my blog. Thank you so much!

I sent him my project file, and he sorted it out in no time. Fantastic 👏 💪
