Adding to this, the font i want to change it to shows up on the customise theme page, but isn’t visible when viewing the actual website.
What theme are you using?
Some themes offer a customizable css option to change such things, while others require you to create a child theme first.
If you are using a paid theme, you should be able to get help from the theme author on their support forum. If you are using a free theme found here in the wordpress.org theme repository, we should be able to steer you in the right direction.
Thanks for the reply.
Im using the twenty fourteen theme, but I’ve made some changes to the css, not creating a child theme.
Ive tried using various plugins to try to change the font, but none of them seem to have worked.
Currently using the “styles” plugin, it shows the font i want to use when i edit the theme on the customise page, but this doesn’t actually show on the main site.
Okay. The first thing you’ll want to do is restore the uncustomized Twenty-Fourteen theme. If the only file you re-wrote was the style.css file, you could download a fresh copy of the Twenty-Fourteen theme to your desktop and open up its style.css file, copy it and paste it into your site’s Twenty-Fourteen style.css file (replacing the one you overwrote). Alternatively, you could delete the Twenty-Fourteen theme from your themes folder and then just re-download a new copy of it to your themes folder and hit “activate,” but you may lose some settings.
At that point, you’ll have two options: either try to change your theme’s fonts via one of your plugins, OR create a child theme for Twenty-Fourteen and apply your font-family changes in the child theme’s style.css. You can learn to make a child theme here on the codex.
There is also a support forum specifically for the Twenty-Fourteen theme here, where you may find a thread that has already answered a similar question. Cheers!
