Gibberish – Homepage Menu

[David Bozard]

Hello,

For some odd reason, the titles to some of my menu headings on my home page look like gibberish or some sort of Russian slang. If I refresh the page it fixes itself, however, every time I go to the homepage for the first time this happens. What is causing this issue. I’ve attached a screenshot for reference. Thanks in advance!

Hello David,

That is most unusual. I noticed the font trouble right away in Chrome, but didn’t run into it in Safari or Firefox. I ran through some of the various fixes for Chrome’s font irregularities that have come up over the years, but none of them seem to fix the initial load issue.

I did try one thing that seems to work though. We can change how the font is loaded onto the site. If you’d like to try that, here’s what to do:

1. Go to the Appearance section in your WordPress dashboard and choose Edit.
2. From the list of files on your right, choose header.php.
3. Find this line:

   
   </head>
   

   and right above that, add this:

   
   (Be sure to copy that code directly from the support site and not the notification email).

4. Save your changes.

That seems to have fixed it at least when I tested with your content locally on my computer. If that doesn’t do the trick, you may want to go with a different font.

Let me know if I can help,
Bill
