Changing fonts

Hi Paul,

Could I have you website url please?

thanks

Yes sure. It is https://www.natures-pace.com

Thanks

change from All Caps to regular text please add this CSS:

.site-title a {
    text-transform: none;
}

To increase font size in general on all content paragraphs, you can try this:

.entry-content p {
	font-size:1.5em;
}

let me know if that worked
regards
Imre

Thank you Imre

The first solution doesn’t appear to work but the second solution, to increase font size in general,does.

When I add the CSS, using the Plug-in Simple Custom CSS and hit the Update button it does change the site title from All Caps to regular BUT when I subsequently use the Plug-in to add some other CSS, (e.g. to perform the second solution) it knocks out the first piece of CSS i.e.the first solution is not getting saved/permanently

Fortunately when I re-try to add the first piece of CSS the second piece of CSS is retained i.e. the second solution appears saved/permanent.

Does the CSS, for changing All Caps to regular, need modifying to make it a permanent addition?

You don’t need to use an extra plugin for custom CSS.
You can just add it to Customizer / Additional CSS

Try adding all your CSS there and that should work.
Make sure the All Caps title override CSS is last.

Thank you for that tip.
I had been following different Forum threads which most suggest using the Plug-in. As a dabbler in web building I’d like to learn more about when to use a Customizer/Additional CSS versus Plug-in. Do you have any recommendations or know of any threads or articles please ?

Hi paulhuntnp,

It is not recommended to use a plugin if you already have similar functioning settings or fields or sections in your WordPress admin area. Plugins are used to make your task more easier,however they may create issues with proper functioning of your front end website and other compatibilities.

You can refer here what actually a plugin is and where to use it;

Thanks!

Thank you Rohan.
Changing font sizes and family do present a challenge. Perhaps I’ve unwittingly created one of the issues you elude to as somehow the font in Headers is different to main body/paragraphs and some posts (published prior to me changing font family) are still in different font family.
Any further help you can offer to enable me to achieve consistency with fonts would be appreciated.
1. How do I change Header fonts?
2. Do I need to re-do the older posts – presumably they are not automatically refreshed with the new font family?
Paul

Sorry Rohan when I say Header I mean Headings
thanks
Paul

Hey paulhuntnp,

You can use Easy Google Fonts Plugin for your theme.
Please refer the following tutorial on how to install and use the plugin;

Thanks!

Thanks Rohan
The font I needed is not in Easy Google Font and hence I have to use a different plug-in.
Am familiar with how to install a plug-in thanks. And I think I’ve now managed to use it properly to change the heading fonts.Thanks for your help.

Good to hear that paulhuntnp !
