• I just noticed the mobile version of my site presents as slightly different. The font of the header is different and the color of the navigation links. Any ideas why ?

    I looked at https://www.beamoonbaby.com on an iPhone 5s and I see some of the differences you mean.

    It looks like the plugin (or other tool) you’re using to change the font of some of your elements is using a font that is not available on my phone – here’s the CSS it’s adding:

    .gftitle_customized {
        font-family: Symbol !important;
        font-size: 55px !important;
        font-style: normal !important;
        font-weight: normal !important;
        text-decoration: none !important;
        text-shadow: 0 0 11px #0b1033 !important;
    }

    As I don’t have the font “Symbol” on my phone, the browser’s default fallback font is being displayed instead.

    p.s. Just a tip: it’s always a good idea to post the link to your site with every question you post so it’s easier for volunteers to help. They look for unanswered questions within a big queue, so they may not see your other question where you posted the URL. ??

    ok cool, does that mean theres nothing i can do to alter the mobile display (if it doesnt have ‘symbol’ font?) – is there any way to change the default font of the mobile browser to something else – not symbol if that one isnt available but something more appealing? thanks x

    The right way to add custom fonts to a site is to enqueue the font in the theme so that it gets loaded. That way you’re not relying on the viewer’s device having a specific font installed.

    You can enqueue fonts in different ways, such as by using a Google Fonts plugin:

    Or using one of the non-plugin methods outlined here:
