Font Size and Color Change

By chemdata, 10 years ago. Last reply by Andrew Misplon, 10 years ago.

I was trying to change the color and font size of the pages. Your documentation stated “Select the font style, size and color by navigating to Fonts.” However, I could not locate the Fonts part after Appearance > Customize >.

I then added the following to the style.css file in my vantage-child theme with no luck also.

/* Consistent fonts across all elements */
body,button,input,select,textarea{
color:#ff0000;
font-family:Arial;
font-family:"Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, "Lucida Grande", sans-serif;
line-height:1.5em;
font-size:18px;
word-wrap:break-word;
}

What do you advise. Thanks.

    Hi

    The expanded Customizer options discussed in the documentation are a part of Vantage Premium. You can upgrade for as little as $5. To view the offering head to Appearance > Premium Upgrade.

    If you’d like to stick to Vantage Free here are the selectors you can target:

    /* Body */
    
    body,button,input,select,textarea {
    	font-family: Arial, “Helvetica Neue”, Helvetica, sans-serif !important;
    }
    
    /* Site Title Font */
    
    header#masthead h1 { 
    	font-family: Arial, “Helvetica Neue”, Helvetica, sans-serif !important;
    }
    
    /* Heading Font */
    
    h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6 { 
    	font-family: Arial, “Helvetica Neue”, Helvetica, sans-serif !important;
    }

    Thanks. I added the suggested code to the vantage-child style.css file as follows:

    /* Body */
    
    body,button,input,select,textarea {
    	font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif !important;
    	color:#000ff;
    	font-size:13px;
    }
    
    /* Site Title Font */
    
    header#masthead h1 { 
    	font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif !important;
    	color:#0000ff;
    	font-size:13px;
    }
    
    /* Heading Font */
    
    h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6 { 
    	font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif !important;
    	color:#0000ff;
    	font-size:13px;
    }

    However the only one that changed font color was header#masthead h1. The other two kept the font color as it was.

    Try using !important for the color and font-size properties too.

    Andrew thanks again. Adding the !important corrected the problem.

    I guess I spoke to soon. It corrected the font size problem but not the color as the text in the body of the page did not change.

    Add this, should resolve:

    .entry-content {
    color: #666666 !important;
    }
