[http://www.unicorndesign.net/wordpress/?page_id=8](http://www.unicorndesign.net/wordpress/?page_id=8) i would like to change the font on the page. Do i have to target the page by targeting the ‘?page_id=8’? i mean do i have to include this page id in the css to target it * [esmi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/esmi/) * (@esmi) * [14 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/editing-css-6/#post-2498289) * If you get rid if the right-click disable, I might be able to help. * Thread Starter [elizabeth22](https://wordpress.org/support/users/elizabeth22/) * (@elizabeth22) * [14 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/editing-css-6/#post-2498302) * i guess i’ve got to go into my hosting account to do that, right? i’ll go have a look and see if i can find it. * Thread Starter [elizabeth22](https://wordpress.org/support/users/elizabeth22/) * (@elizabeth22) * [14 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/editing-css-6/#post-2498306) * ok that’s done. if you can help that would be great. * [esmi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/esmi/) * (@esmi) * [14 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/editing-css-6/#post-2498315) * That did it. If you start all of your new CSS rules with `body.page-id-8`, you will be able to change just the elements you want on that page and only that page. Try using Firefox with the Firebug add-on for this kind of CSS work. It’s a great tool.
