    Hello,

    Can someone please tell me how to change the fonts on my site please (https://s642706034.websitehome.co.uk/) (waiting for domain name transfer)

    I had this hosted on wp.com and exported and imported to new host, however the fonts didnt come across.

    I installed Google Fonts and changed H1 – H6 to Oswald

    However some text such as site title and Blog post title have not changed.

    Ive tried to learn how to read CSS and I can make changes in chrome but they are obviously not perm

    If i untick:

    a {
    /* font-family: ” !important; */
    color: white;

    Then all my fonts change to the correct one.

    However that part of CSS is apparently in (index):41

    I cant find that anywhere, have been looking for 3 days.

    Or can I enter some CSS in the Appearance > Edit CSS page that will somehow override the above code?

    Someone please help before I scrap the site completely!

    Thanks in advance

  • Hello,

    Could you please use this CSS code?

    .entry-title {
font-family: georgia;
}
.site-title {
font-family: georgia;
}

    You can add this in a Child Theme style.css file or you can use a custom CSS plugin.

    Please let me know if you would like to change anything else.

    Thanks,
    Alex ??

    Ok so following on from your post I have installed ‘Simple CSS plugin’

    I have then gone to Customiser > Simple CSS

    Entered the code provided above but again, nothing has changed?

    Any help much appreciated

    Hi @shaggyshoogz,

    You’re right that the following CSS is causing the issue with your fonts:

    a {
    font-family: '' !important;
    color: !important;
}

    That CSS, however, is not being added by the theme itself. Did you make any edit to the theme’s style.css file? If not, that CSS may be being injected by a plugin.

    If you’re not able to pinpoint exactly how that CSS is being added to your site, then try adding the following via Appearance > Edit CSS to “disable” it:

    a {
    font-family: inherit !important;
}

    I havent got a child theme, i tried to follow a guide but it made zero sense, i have to somehow install a second copy of wordpress no?

    For the purposes of adding CSS, Jetpack’s CSS module is all you need. A child theme would be needed if you’d like to make further changes to the theme’s HTML/PHP.

    In case you’re like to make such changes in the future, I find the following guides to be clear and good introductions to child themes:

    I’ll be happy to help if any questions come up along the way too.

    Siobhan, I could literally kiss you right now. 4 days and all it took was a line of code!

    Ive still absolutely no idea where that code is coming from, the only plugins ive installed were ones to try and override it, such as jetpack, google fonts and simple css editor.

    Im now going to tackle trying to change the navigation bar font on my own…so look out for a post from me in a few days when im pulling my hair out haha

    Alex, thanks to you as well, i appreciate your help.

    Cheers

    I’m glad that helped out! I’ll mark this thread as resolved but we’ll be happy to help with any new ones you may open. ??
