Title: Learning CSS Coding Last modified: March 1, 2018 --- # Learning CSS Coding * [Ashleyma](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ashleyma2/) * (@ashleyma2) * [8 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/learning-css-coding/) * Hi, I’m wanting to make two small changes to my site. It seems that it is wanted for us to learn some coding ourselves. I am confused on how to do it really. If anyone knows any websites or how to’s that can make it simple? * On a side note, all I am wanting to do is to change the font on my site title and tagline, as well as make my footer transparent so that there is not that big grey bar down there… * Really for now, That is all I can think of wanting to customize on my theme… * Any help is greatly appreciated… Thanks… * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Flearning-css-coding%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US) to see the link]_ Viewing 6 replies - 1 through 6 (of 6 total) * Moderator [James Huff](https://wordpress.org/support/users/macmanx/) * (@macmanx) * [8 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/learning-css-coding/#post-10030121) * For adjusting fonts, I recommend [https://wordpress.org/plugins/easy-google-fonts/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/easy-google-fonts/) since it vastly simplifies the process. * We might be able to suggest some ways to make your footer transparent, but of course the site would need to be publicly accessible for us to provide specific code. * Overall, working with CSS is easy once you get the hang out it. There’s a lot to keep track of, but that’s why there are great references, like: * [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS) [http://www.htmldog.com/guides/css/](http://www.htmldog.com/guides/css/) * The hardest part about CSS is identifying the right selector to modify, but browser developer tools make that easy: [https://dailypost.wordpress.com/2013/07/25/css-selectors/](https://dailypost.wordpress.com/2013/07/25/css-selectors/) * Thread Starter [Ashleyma](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ashleyma2/) * (@ashleyma2) * [8 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/learning-css-coding/#post-10030324) * Thank you for your response… I actually didn’t expect one from anyone. I found some coding I copied and pasted to my custom css spot, and it worked for making the footer transparent. * I’ve tried some css coding that others had done for changing the title and tagline fonts, but so far nothing has worked. I’m going to take a look at your links here in a few. Thanks again… * The theme is “services” … If that helps, would love if you had an idea of code for the header and tagline fonts… Size and color is fine… * Moderator [James Huff](https://wordpress.org/support/users/macmanx/) * (@macmanx) * [8 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/learning-css-coding/#post-10030345) * For the fonts, I still recommend the plugin if you’re not comfortable modifying the code. * Adding new fonts without a plugin is possible, but a bit more complicated: [https://macmanx.com/2014/06/04/custom-fonts-without-plugins-for-wordpress-themes/](https://macmanx.com/2014/06/04/custom-fonts-without-plugins-for-wordpress-themes/) * Thread Starter [Ashleyma](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ashleyma2/) * (@ashleyma2) * [8 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/learning-css-coding/#post-10030417) * I up loaded the plugin. Does it allow for site title and tagline changes? It would be in the standard spot above the header. Most themes I see has a title and tagline spot. I’m not seeing how to do it for that. * Thanks again… * Moderator [James Huff](https://wordpress.org/support/users/macmanx/) * (@macmanx) * [8 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/learning-css-coding/#post-10030454) * Yes, the plugin should allow that, you do need to target the right CSS selectors though: [https://dailypost.wordpress.com/2013/07/25/css-selectors/](https://dailypost.wordpress.com/2013/07/25/css-selectors/) * If it’s still not working, recommend asking at [https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/easy-google-fonts](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/easy-google-fonts) so the plugin’s developers and support community can help you with this. * Thread Starter [Ashleyma](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ashleyma2/) * (@ashleyma2) * [8 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/learning-css-coding/#post-10030473) * Thanks again. I’m looking up a how to, and am just starting to play with the plugin. My head was a little, um well… I’m sure you know… Looks like I’m getting somewhere now with it… 🙂 thanks again for all your time and help on this… Viewing 6 replies - 1 through 6 (of 6 total) The topic ‘Learning CSS Coding’ is closed to new replies. ## Tags * [code](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/code/) * [css](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/css/) * [font](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/font/) * [footer](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/footer/) * In: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) * 6 replies * 2 participants * Last reply from: [Ashleyma](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ashleyma2/) * Last activity: [8 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/learning-css-coding/#post-10030473) * Status: not resolved ## Topics ### Topics with no replies ### Non-support topics ### Resolved topics ### Unresolved topics ### All topics
