Having trouble changing site-title font

  • I would like to change the font for my site title. The theme uses Alice, serif, and I have located the code in CSS.

    .site-title {
    color: #8d4700;
    font-family: alice, serif;
    font-size: 58px;
    font-weight: 400;

    But change the font here didn’t work. I changed “Alice, serif” to “Cormorant Upright, serif”. The result is that the font changed to something else. But it is not Cormorant Upright. In fact, no matter what I tried to change it to. It changed to this one other font, but it’s not what I specified.

    I then looked up plugins. And downloaded Google Font plugin. After installing the plugin, and navigating to Appearance>Customize>Typography>Theme Typography, I tried changing to all sorts of fonts, but it did not alter the site title. May be worth it to note that, using the plugin to alter body fonts does work.

    I would appreciate your help. Thank you so much!

  • Did you try putting “!important” ? like this

    .site-title {
font-family: Cormorant Upright, serif !important;
}

    Thanks for your reply.

    That didn’t work. Again, every time I changed the font to something other than Alice, the site title changed. BUT!! to some other font that I don’t know the name of. No matter what font family I put into the CSS, the site title changes to this other boring mystery font. That is unless, I put in Alice, then, it does show up with the Alice font.

    Hope this makes sense. Seems like there is some code in there that says, if it is not Alice, then it must be this xyz font, but I can’t find it.

    You sure you’ve put that CSS? I don’t see it in your site. You can use plugins like “Custom CSS” for putting random CSS like that.

    Change your theme to default WordPress theme (like – 2016) and revert back to your theme OR disable your plugins one by one and see if it resolves the issue.
