Post titles in Shaan theme

    Hi

    I am starting a new blog with wordpress code in Microsoft Webmatrix. It is not yet hosted as I am still developing it locally. I am using a modified version of the Shaan theme and I am having some trouble fixing the post titles.

    First of all, I cannot get the font to change from the original one. I have replaced every instance of [font-family: etc etc] with [font-family:Georgia,Tahoma,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;]. This (the latter) is what I would like to use, however making these changes has produced no effect on the website. Am I missing something?

    Secondly, the theme does not appear to produce a title in the form of text (you can’t highlight text in a post title). I would like the post titles to be displayed as text on the website for east of copying and searching. How would I go about accomplishing this?

    Again, since I have not yet hosted the website (hopefully it will go up in the next week or so), I cannot link you to it, but the Shaan theme is available for free and that is the basis of the site’s code.

    Thanks

    Hi there!

    I just recently bumped into the same problem and asked for guidance. I learned that the problem is that the creator of the theme uses HTML5 Canvas code for a wrong purpose.

    In any case, you can configure the font of these titles in wp-content -> themes -> shaan -> includes -> cufon-customizations.js

    If you look at the “includes” folder, you’ll find that it also includes the fonts that the “cufon-customizations.js” -file utilises. I just removed the whole “includes” folder and now all my titles are plain accessible text.

    I hope this helps.

    Thanks a lot!

    Rather than deleting the whole thing (might be useful later…) I just replaced the font name:

    Cufon.replace(‘.post-title’, { fontFamily: ‘#####’, fontSize: ’36px’ });
    Where ##### is whatever font I might want

    This changed the font and I can now highlight it properly.

    Just out of curiosity, did you find any reason that I should get rid of the whole folder or was that just to avoid messing with it at all?
