Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Adding Webfont to ThemeI truly appreciate your help. However, I did solve this problem.
In case anyone needs to know how to do this, feel free to message me but here are the steps:
1.) Upload font files & css file to C-Panel
2.) Customize the paths
– it come stock with webfonts/’fonttitle…’ but you have to change this for A) the link in head (webfonts/…), B) the css sheet that you are linking (in this case MyFontsWebfontsKit.css customize each @font-face path withing this sheet, and C) in your style.css (each @font-face once again, same as your myfontswebfontskit.css)
3.) Reference the css file in the <head>
– in my case this was my header-single.php file just like this:
<head> (..this is already there)
<link rel=”stylesheet” type=”text/css” href=”wp-content/themes/dt-armada-child/fonts/MyFontsWebfontsKitCustom.css”>
………other stuff your theme has
</head> (this is also already there)
4.) use @import in style.css (put the @import code at the very top (make it first) of your style.css file
5.) use @fontface in style.css (under whatever you already have on your style sheet put your @font-face code there
6.) apply font settings in style.css (now apply the font! in my case, I used:body, p, h1 h2 {
font-family: MulberryScript-Regular;
}One of my main mistakes: getting the correct file paths (I didnt have to include my actual url just src: url(‘wp-content/themes/your theme/fonts/font file title.ttf’) etc….. same went for the link in head
Another main mistake was that I had my font setting like this
body, p, h1 h2 {
font-family: ‘MulberryScript-Regular’;
}I used firebug to figure out that I dont need the ” around my font here. It actually caused it not to work!
Happy WordPressing! ??
