Menu font not changing
-
This is a great plugin! everything is working fine but for some reason the font on my menus won’t change. I have a main menu, and a number of sub menus on different page templates. All my fonts have changed except for these.

Hi Madtang,
Did you know that you can create custom font controls using this plugin by going to Settings > Google Fonts? This would allow you to override the navigation styles that have been applied by your themes stylesheet. Do you have a link to your website that I could see, then I will be able to give you a set of example instructions on creating a font control.Sunny
That would be amazing. The site is uvarts.com
The Google fonts plugin is not installed on this live site, but on a local copy i am working. everything is basically the same though.
Hi Madtang,
Here are the instructions on creating the navigation control- Log in to your WordPress admin area and go to: Settings > Google Fonts
- Click create new font control and give your font control a name e.g Navigation and click the Create Font Control button. (If no other custom font controls exist then it will take you straight to the add new control screen)
- Once you have created your new font control enter the following text in the Add CSS Selectors input box: #mainmenu li a (Press tab after each selector)
- Click the Save Font Control button
- Visit the customizer and you will see your new font control which will allow you to control the site navigation
The instructions are the same for each font control that you would create. The only difference would be the name of the control and the css selectors that it is controlling. If you don’t have any CSS knowledge any basic developer should be able to give you a hand with it.
Let me know how you get on. Cheers
Sunny
Hi Madtang,
How did you get on with the instructions above? If you need any help just give me a shout. CheersSunny
Hi Madtang,
As it has been over 7 days since I have heard a response, I am going to mark this post as resolved. If you need any further assistance just shoot me an e-mail to support@titaniumthemes.com cheersSunny
I’m not able to change the Menu font on my website either. Website is mindynolt.com, which uses Hemingway Rewritten. I was able to change my title font by slightly tweaking the instructions you gave in another topic, but can’t seem to make it work here. Thanks.
JaredHi Jared,
You just need to create a font control for your navigation
Instructions on creating the custom control
- Log in to your WordPress admin area and go to: Settings > Google Fonts
- Click create new font control and give your font control a name e.g Navigation and click the Create Font Control button. (If no other custom font controls exist then it will take you straight to the add new control screen)
- Once you have created your new font control enter the following text in the Add CSS Selectors input box:
.main-navigation a, .main-navigation a:visited
(Press tab after each selector) - Click the Save Font Control button
- Visit the customizer and you will see your new font control which will allow you to control the navigation
I hope that helps Jared, let me know how you get on.

Thanks so much! That works perfectly. One other slightly related question. In my title font CSS selector I entered h1.site-title, which changes the font, but isn’t changing color. Am I missing something?
Thanks again!
JaredHi Jared,
Yes, that selector should be:h1.site-title a
Try that and let me know how you get on. Also I was wondering if you could rate this plugin on WordPress when you get a moment. ThanksSunny
That works great! I can change the color now. Thanks! Will do.
Great, glad you’ve got it working!

Hey guys,
I’m also using Hemingway Rewritten. Does anybody know how to make it so the page titles don’t appear on the actual pages, but instead only on the menu?
Thanks!
BrettHi Brett,
I’m not familiar with the theme so I couldn’t answer that for you. Your best bet is to contact the theme author or view the support threads for that particular theme to see if anyone can help you there. CheersSunny
Hello,
I would like to customise the font of my blog titles and I am using the Hemingway theme too, can anyone help with what to write in the css selectors when creating my font control?
Thanks in advance
Kate
Hi Kate,
Can you post a link to your website so that I can help you out with this. CheersSunny
