Hope to stop text displaying all in uppercase?

    I’ve noticed several places where TwentySeventeen displays text all in upper-case. I would like to have this display in the same case as the original text, rather than it being overridden.

    The places I am looking to alter are:

    • A the top of a blog post – the date, and the name of the author
    • At the bottom of a blog post – the list of categories, and the list of tags
    • In the sidebar – the title of each widget
    • At the top of a page – the title

      • blog post and sidebar example
      page example

      I’m using a child theme, and am reasonably okay with making customisations to the theme, but I’m not sure what I need to alter. Could somebody please guide me to what I need to change in order to have these sections display as per the original text?

    To override the upper case text, you would need to insert your own CSS in to the Additional CSS section of the theme:

    tag.class {
text-transform: none;
}

    Thanks Morgan, I appreciate the pointer.

    Unfortunately, I can’t get this working. I’ve added the above to my CSS, but it doesn’t change anything on the site. I’m obviously doing something wrong, but I can’t work out what! Would somebody be able to look at what I’ve done and suggest what I need to change? current CSS

    As I understand it, I would need to apply this CSS to each element that I want to change. I was wondering if there is there a “master” element that I could simply apply this to once, and have it apply to the whole site? Or will I need to do each element individually?
