Changing Fonts in Your WordPress CSS Style Sheet
Changing fonts in your WordPress CSS Style Sheet is the most effective and reliable way to control the fonts in your WordPress theme for your WordPress web site. If you are a person that creates WordPress sites for your clients, changing fonts in your WordPress CSS Style Sheets is an essential skill. The strange thing is that most people that actually sell WordPress creation services lack CSS skills and just kind of fake it with their clients.
In our previous video, we shared how to use the inspect element function in any browser to find the css that will control the classes, ids, or html tags that need to be targeted when changing fonts in your WordPress CSS Style Sheet. This video actually goes into the style sheet and shows you how to get the job done.
The real challenge of Changing fonts in your WordPress CSS Style Sheet, is targeting the correct div, class or html tag, or groups of divs, ids, and html tags.
I have found that when you use plugins to change for instance the H1 tags in a site, the plugin will do just that. The plugin may change the H1 tag through out the site. The problem is that perhaps you only want to change the H1 tag on the left Widget, and not the right Widget.
I have found that when changing fonts in your WordPress CSS Style Sheet, a major font that I will change frequently is the anchor tag that controls the attributes of links through out the WordPress Theme. Links ( the anchor tags indicated by the “a” in html and css ) are all over a page or post. Some are in the Header, some in the Footer, some in a Widget, some in the page or post itself. In this situation, rarely do you want all link attributes throughout the page or site to be the same.
