 * I am trying to style my FAQ page the same as the other headers and font on the
   website. I am having extreme difficulty trying to get any results from this change.
   Also, I am using custom google fonts to style the website. Is it possible to 
   do this? If not, can I at least change the colors to resemble the rest of the
   site?

 * You can do all of those things that you want relatively easily. How are going
   about trying to edit those styles now?

 * Hi John,
 * I’m trying through the style.css file but anything i try doesn’t work. I am able
   to change the size of the title font in the arconix-faq.css file under the /*
   FAQ Title but that’s about it. I am only some-what familiar with css programming.
   Am I editing the wrong files?

 * Hi Allen,
 * The best way to make **safe** changes to the plugin’s styling is to copy the `
   arconix-faq.css` file (or create a `arconix-faq.css` file) in the base of your
   theme directory alongside your theme’s `style.css`. My plugin will load that 
   stylesheet in place of the one that comes with the plugin so you can edit to 
   your heart’s content and not worry about losing those changes when I release 
   updates.

 * Hi John,
    Am experiencing same problem. New to WordPress, and not familiar with
   css at all really, although with trial and error can work things out! Really 
   want to be able to change font and size on the FAQ and the answers, with a downloaded
   font. Looked at the css file, but wouldn’t be sure exactly what to change, and
   don’t really even see where font is indicated! Any guidance would be hugely appreciate….
   really want to use your FAQ plugin as have got along with it the best, but would
   love this extra knowledge! Regards

 * Hi Ian,
 * Thanks for using my plugin. Have you copied my `arconix-faq.css` file to the 
   base directory of your theme? It’s not completely necessary in your case, but
   it would probably make it easier. Otherwise you can add the styles to your theme’s`
   style.css` file, but you’ll need to add `!important` flags in certain spots to
   override my defaults. If you let me know which way you’re going to go, I can 
   provide additional guidance.

 * Hi John,
    Thanks for the reply. So, have copied the arconix-faq.css file to the
   same location as the themes style .css file. So I am now trying to edit that 
   to produce the right results! Its not too much that I am after really – just 
   changing font and sizes of the categoty titles, questions and the answers. Not
   much else really. Regards Ian

 * To change the FAQ group title you’ll edit the “term title” section (I’m going
   to update that section header in the next release to be clearer). To change the
   FAQ title, edit the “FAQ Title” section and the content will be “FAQ Content”
   or “Accordion Content” depending on whether you’re using the toggle or accordion
   config.
 * Does that help?

 * Hi John, Thanks for that.
    Sorry, for slow reply…been away over weekend.
 * I have uploaded the file to the theme directory as suggested and have had success
   in editing the title by doing the following:
 * /* FAQ Title
    ———————————————————— */ .arconix-faq-title { background: url(../../
   images/toggle-open.png) no-repeat left transparent; cursor: pointer; font-size:
   16px; font-family: “velocity”, sans-serif; padding: 0 0 0 30px; position: relative;}
 * Which is exactly what I was after! But I am struggling to apply changes to the
   group description (that you said was term title section) as well as the content.
   For the description I assume you mean to edit here?
 * /* Term Title
    ———————————————————— */ h3.arconix-faq-term-title { margin: 20px
   0 10px}
 * So, I have tried the following but am not sure what I am missing:
 * /* Term Title
    ———————————————————— */ h3.arconix-faq-term-title { margin: 20px
   0 10px font-family: “velocity”, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; }
 * Wonder if you can help? Feel like I am almost there!!
 * Many Thanks.
 * Ian

 * do you have a link to a live site where I can see the styles applied? My guess
   is there’s some kind of specificity (priority) conflict.

 * Yep, its here

 * Like I said, its mostly the group titles I want to edit….
 * Thanks

 * You do have some specificity issues going on where the theme is overwriting any
   styles you set… specifically line 94. Because the theme author is prefacing his
   h3 styles with a #content, and ID selectors (#whatever) are highest priority,
   you’re seeing that issue. Either you’d have to add the same/higher specificity(
   e.g. `#content h3.arconix-faq-term-title {}` ) or you’d have to work with the
   theme author to edit the theme to be less specific.
 * Make sense?

 * Hi John,
 * Well, kind of makes sense! I would rather go for the first of the two options
   you suggest, but I have no idea how to do that. Can you give any pointers?
 * Thanks

 * Sure… This may take a bit of experimentation to get right, but where you have
 *     ```
       h3.arconix-faq-term-title {}
       ```
   
 * in the `arconix-faq.css` file, replace it with this:
 *     ```
       #content h3.arconix-faq-term-title {}
       ```
   
 * All you’re really doing is adding the id selector `#content` before the `h3` 
   tag. That will hopefully give you enough specificity to overrule what’s happening
   in the theme’s `style.css` file.
 * Give it a shot and let me know.

 * Hi John,
 * Dont think so…
    Changed it to this:
 * /* Term Title
    ———————————————————— */ #content h3.arconix-faq-term-title {} {
   margin: 20px 0 10px font-size: 12px; font-family: “velocity”, sans-serif; }
 * But the formatting I have tried there also doesn’t get applied….

 * There was an extra set of brackets and you forgot a semicolon:
 *     ```
       #content h3.arconix-faq-term-title {
           margin: 20px 0 10px;
           font-size: 12px;
           font-family: "velocity", sans-serif;
       }
       ```
