 * Hi, I’ve looked on all of the support topics here but couldn’t find the right
   answer to my question. I want to do the following to my wordpress site.
 * 1) Change all of the widgets from the black background and white font to a white
   background with black font, like the menu bar
    2) Change the menu and widget 
   font to match the Gloria font found everywhere else.
 * My website is [http://www.emmaandree.com](http://www.emmaandree.com)
 * Thanks!

 * Hi there, You will need to add some custom CSS to achieve this.
    Install and 
   activate [this plugin](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-add-custom-css/) then
   go to “Add Custom CSS” on your dashboard and paste this
 *     ```
       .widget-title {
           background: #fff;
           color: #000;
       }
       .navigation a {
           font-family: Georgia, Palatino;
       }
       ```
   
 *  in the box.
 * Let me know if this helps

 * I’ve copied and pasted both and neither are working. I also tried to replace .
   widget-title with the custom name of the widget, but that didn’t work either.

 * However I’ve decided I want to keep the menu font the same and just change the
   font of the text in the widgets “About me” and “Subscribe”
