# Child theme font setting

 * I have 3.2.17, with the google fonts as part of the theme, I have found that 
   I cannot choose my own fonts & text color for the titles. Is there any way to
   over-ride the theme on this one? I have tried using “!important” but even that
   fails. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks

 * Can you delete the link after, or is there any way to send it to you privately?
   This is a private family site. Never mind I will delete it in 10 minutes.
 * This site I cant change the post title color or font

 * Nope cannot do anything like that :/
    Don’t have moderator’s caps and cannot 
   share contact infos due to wp.org rules, and of course my privacy (:P). The only
   thing I can suggest is to use much stronger rules +, if needed, !important. So,
   for example, a page title:
 *     ```
       body.page article header h1 {
       font-size: 50px;
       font-family: Arial;
       }
       ```
   
 * You can test it live in the demo site on the page Gallery ( demo site uses Roboto
   google font for that)
    Or in the home:
 *     ```
       body.blog .entry-header .entry-title a {
           font-family: Arial !important;
       }
       ```
   
 * (demo site uses Fjalla for that one)

 * Anyway in “my first ..” post the color is blue, according to your rule.
    In uncategorized
   the post title color isn’t blue because is overridden by the “a” rule, so you
   need a stronger selector for that, but the category title is blue, always according
   to your rule, so it’s working 😉

 * I got the color to work, but not the font with that 2nd snippet. But at least
   the color changed.
 *     ```
       body.blog .entry-header .entry-title a {
       font-family: Love+Ya+Like+A+Sister !important;
       color: blue !important;
       	}
       ```

 * That page isn’t a blog page.. Is just a post page.. That’s why that code doesn’t
   work. The color works because it already worked .. 🙂 because a rule you have
   in your child them like .post h1 (as I sais in my reply above). About the font
   family.. Is that font in your px? Or do you load it on your website?
    For that
   page body.post h1
 * Should be enough…
 * Talk u tomorrow 😉

 *     ```
       .single-post h1 {
           font-family: Arial!important;
       }
       ```
   
 * works, but doesn’t work with your font-family, not here at least, where’s that
   font family?
 * p.s.
    body.post in my previous reply was wrong, since it doesn’t exist 🙂
