Changing Font

[Andrew Phung]

Hey Bill,

Any suggestions on changing the font on the epic theme?

[Bill Robbins]

Andrew,

I generally recommend a plugin called Fontific. It works with Google’s web fonts to allow you to rather easily choose new fonts for your site.

The way it works is you enter a “selector” into the top left hand of the plugin’s configuration page that corresponds to what you’d like to change. Here are a few of the selectors that are used in the Epic theme you might be interested in working with:

body — normal paragraph level elements.
h2.widget-title, h3.widget-title — widget titles
h1.title, h2.title — blog post titles
#text-logo h1, #text-logo p — Site title

If you run into any trouble, let me know,
Bill

Worked perfect! Thanks so much!

[Bill Robbins]

No problem. If you need anything else, just let me know,
Bill

Fontific is working great for me! Thanks for the recommendation.

I’m not too savvy, so it took me a little while to understand it.

After installing the plug-in
Appearance > Fonts
+New font rule
Enter selector here

h1, h2, h3 – for heading, etc.

Bill, can you tell me how to change the font in the navigation menu without affecting the font elsewhere?

David,

Thank you for your business first of all. For navigation menu items, here’s the selectors you’d like to use:

For the light style that’s included with Epic:

body.light header.primary .menu li a,
body.light header.primary .menu li a:visited

For the dark style:

header.primary .menu li a,
header.primary .menu li a:visited

That will let you target just the navigation menu items with Fontific. If you have any trouble, let me know.

Enjoy your holiday,
Bill
