Styleguide – Custom Fonts and Colors

Description

Quickly and easily edit fonts and colors in your WordPress themes using the WordPress Customizer so that you can get live previews before saving the new settings.

Perfect for giving your website a unique look without having to hire a designer or make code changes yourself.

All default WordPress themes are fully supported and support for more themes will be added in the future. All other themes can customize fonts.

Styleguide uses a carefully chosen selection of the top 45 Google Fonts to give you a lot of options for personalising your site.

Features

• Choose from a varied selection of the top Google fonts in any theme
• Additional themes (listed below) support editing colors
• Filter fonts based on character set – great for non latin languages such as Russian
• Developer functionality for adding support to other themes, and for adding additional fonts.

Supported Character Sets

Styleguide supports fonts that have a variety of different character sets. This makes selecting a font for your language super easy. The supported character sets are:

• Cyrillic
• Devanagari
• Greek
• Hebrew
• Latin
• Vietnamese

By default Styleguide uses Latin. To limit the font choice to those supporting your character set you should go to Settings → General → Character Set and select your set there.

Supported Themes

• Kent
• Bromley
• Romero
• Puzzle
• Chronicle
• Broadsheet
• Lens
• Monet
• Mimbo Pro
• Opti
• Adaline
• Twenty Ten
• Twenty Eleven
• Twenty Twelve
• Twenty Thirteen
• Twenty Fourteen
• Twenty Fifteen
• Twenty Sixteen

Developers can add support for their themes quite easily – see the ‘Other Notes’ tab for more info.

If you’re in the market for a WordPress theme then you could check out my Premium GPL WordPress themes site here: https://prothemedesign.com/

How To

After downloading and installing the plugin you can go to the Customizer (Appearance > Customizer) and edit fonts and colors in the ‘Colors & Fonts’ panel.

Adding Theme Support

Styleguide allows any theme to add support through the add_theme_support command. For examples check out the theme-styles directory.

I have added an example of a basic implementation below. This code would be placed in your themes functions.php

function prefix_add_styleguide_support() {

  // for properties check out the included theme styles as seen here:
  // https://github.com/BinaryMoon/styleguide/tree/master/theme-styles
  $properties = array(
    ...
  );
  add_theme_support( 'styleguide', $properties );

}

add_filter( 'after_setup_theme', 'prefix_add_styleguide_support' );

Extra Fonts

Styleguide currently offers developers a filter for adding additional fonts. You can use it as shown below

function my_fonts( $font_list ) {
    $font_list['Cormorant Infant'] = array(
        'name' => 'Cormorant Infant',
        'family' => '"Cormorant Infant", serif',
        'weight' => '400,700',
        'sets' => array( 'latin' ),
    );
    $font_list['Poppins'] = array(
        'name' => 'Poppins',
        'family' => 'Poppins, sans-serif',
        'weight' => '400,700',
        'sets' => array( 'latin' ),
    );
    return $font_list;
}
add_filter( 'styleguide_get_fonts', 'my_fonts' );

Fantastic little plugging well done

Brown_kid0082 October 17, 2018

There is only one font that works on my WordPress from this plugging but it’s all I need as it has made the whole fonts on my site much more appealing and classy to look at. More importantly, it hasn’t altered the performance of my site. Great work!

works fine on customizr theme

vanzillatwenty June 5, 2018

Although it is not on the list of supported themes it does work. It is useful to check font changes on the fly – I have the free version of customizr which is all i need and this was an easier fashion to check out more fonts, since the ones it comes with is limited.

works

came across the plugin as I’m using MONET from the same developer. Obviously integration is great there, and a huge plus is a very reachable, quickly responding and very helpful support !

Does what it says on the box

SecretaryESVGA September 3, 2016

Author very responsible to queries. Works well no problems. I’d like more fonts but hey can’t have everything.

Perfect.

Easy Peasy Fonts

Brent Logan September 3, 2016

Styleguide makes it easy to use Google web fonts on your WordPress site. If you’re using one of the supported themes, I recommend it.
