Add Font Codes in Additional CSS section
Copy this import URL. Now go to your website and paste this code in the Additional CSS section. Now click enter. Now enter a tag for which you want to change the font family. For example, If you want to change the font family for the paragraph. Then type P and open and close curly bracket.
Then inside the curly bracket, Type the font family. So to type the font family, Go to Google Fonts. And copy the font family. And Paste it here. As you can see, this code is properly changing the font family of the paragraph. You can also add other tags to change the font family.
For example, if you also want to change the font family of H4. Then enter comma and type H4. Then this will change the font family for both: paragraphs and heading 4. But Heading 2 shows the old font family because you have just added two tags: paragraph and heading 4.
You can also visit the article page and scroll down to the code section. And copy this code. This code will change the font family of the whole website. Now go to Google Fonts. Copy import URL. And replace this URL. Now go to Google Fonts again and copy the font family. And replace the font family.
This time this code is changing the font family of the whole website. Now I will show you the third way to change the font family. So I am going to undo all the changes. The third way to change the font family is the theme file. So go to the Appearance, Click on theme editor.
Style.css Customization
Now select the style.css file. Now go to the written article page. Scroll down to this code section. And copy this code. Now go to the theme file and paste this code. Now change the import URL and font family with the font family of your choice. Ignore this message.
And Check update anyway and click update file. Now view your website. This website is still showing the old font family because it’s showing from the cache file. So try to clear the cache and refresh the page. Or try to open this website in another browser.
I am trying to open this in another browser. As you can see, this code is working but only on the headings and paragraphs. Not on these fonts. So to change the whole font. Go to the theme file. And add important with an exclamation mark after the font family.
