    I am unable to change the top menu font. It was working via Appearance> Customize>BoldTheme Settings. I then load the Google fonts plugin and a few other and now the menu font won’t change even though I deactivated those plugins and the font has been changed in the customizer. Can someone please help me figure out the problem?

    Thanks so much!

  • It sounds like you are looking at a cached page, either your own browser or on the server.

    This style is currently applied to your navigation menu:

    
    body, 
    button, 
    input, 
    select, 
    textarea { 
        font-family: "Fjord One" 
    }
    

    Is that not what you want? What do you want/ what code isn’t working?

    You should also consider @stilman-davis’ point that your website is cached. Caching is the act of saving old copies of your website to the public.

    Hi, interestingly, when I changed the “body font” it did change. But note that there is a “menu font” which is what I was trying to make happen. Possibly this is a translation issue on my part–I take “body font” to mean int eh main body of the site or content that is not sa title of any kind. In any case it did change–I just see this as being a problem down the road when I add content.

    Also, can you please tell how it’s possible to save an old copy to the public? When I change something and “publish” it doesn’t that save it to the public and overwrite previous versions?

    Thanks much for your assistance! : )

    “body” underlies the “div” areas on the page, it is the basis of everything. If you define the font for the “body” everything on top of it inherits that property. So your “content” will inherit the font defined for “body” and so on. You can define the font for each “div” differently, but if you don’t, the font defined for the “body” will be the default.

    The cache is what browsers find sometimes, depending on the set-up of the browser and/or the server. This can be an “old version” because the cache needs to be updated when you make a change, that is – when you “publish” a change. Once you have published, that should be the current content that the server should produce for your visitors, unless of course the server or the browser is running a cache.

    Whether it is your intention, you are using server-side caching for performance reasons – and that’s why your website is serving old copies of the page to the public.

    This is in the code of your website:
