Font changes for sidebar headers !

    Hi

    I started my blog with the default theme then soon after changed to a custom theme. Note the new theme only uses index.php, which has all the sidebar stuff embedded in it.

    Anyway if I try to create a new heading name, the heading in the sidebar is always a new font! It’s quite annoying. For example, check out my blog (noodleandspam.com). In this example I’ve just added the wp_list_pages function to show pages. But the header is in a different font to the rest of the headers?

    Here is a code snippet:

    <?php wp_list_pages(‘title_li=<h2>Noodle And Spam</h2>’); ?>

    <!– START ARCHIVES –>
    <li id=”archives”><h2><?php _e(‘Archives:’); ?></h2>

      <?php wp_get_archives(‘type=monthly’); ?>

    <!– END ARCHIVES –>

    Both “archives” and “pages” are using the font <h2> as far as I can tell (though I don’t know php), why are they showing up in different fonts ?

    Thanks for any help
    al

    I renamed my theme’s style.css to a different name and this had no effect on my blog. So it seems the style sheet isn’t even being used ?

    I’m using WP 2.0.3 and the painted-desert theme.

    Any help much appreciated !

    Need to change:

    <li class="pagenav"> to <li id="pagenav">

    You don’t have a pagenav class, only ‘id’.

    Hi Yosemite,

    Thanks for the reply. I can only find a reference to “pagenav” in style.css though and it doesn’t look like your text. Also as per my comment above, as far as I can tell WP isn’t even using my style.css file as removing it doesn’t effect anything.

    Any one have any ideas?

    Yosemite was referring to the index.php file, not the stylesheet.

    And your website DOES use style.css. You must have made a mistake when you ‘deleted’ it.

    Hi there,
    Thankyou so much for your reply. Well, I renamed the style.css file in the currently utilised theme directory to another name. Still, my website works.

    I also tried making changes to style.css and they had no effect.

    My index.php also doesn’t contain a reference to pagenav:

    # grep pagenav *
    style.css:li#pagenav h2{
    [~/www/noodleandspam/wp-content/themes/painted-desert-1]#

    Any ideas? Could my website be using files for this from a directory other than the theme directory?

    Have you cleared your browser cache and hard-refreshed (CTRL + F5) after making the changes?

    Thankyou you were all quite right, it was using style.css and I wasn’t refreshing properly.

    I’ve also modified Yosemite’s advice and almost got the desired output:

    (from index.php):

    <li id=”pagenav”><h2><?php wp_list_pages(‘title_li=Noodle And Spam:’); ?></h2>

    …however now the header is in bold but the actual page links are also in bold, unlike the other sections.

    Unfortunately this template didn’t have the pagenav stuff in index.php, I had to add it in hence I’m having this trouble.

    How can I set the header to <h2> but keep the page links under the header the default font without bold ?

    Thanks for the PHP help so far.

    Anyone know how I can change the code above so the title_li header is one font, and the page links are a different font?

    First, remove the <h2> and </h2> tags in your index file. They’re useless, and they should be used for headings anyway, not the entire list.

    In your CSS, refer to the title as li#pagenav h2 and refer to the page links as li#pagenav ul li.
