    Hi!

    I am wanting to change out the font in the body of the Home Widget sections and blog posts for the Parallax theme to the font in the title section of the widgets.

    Here's my site: http://InspireAwesome.com

    Thanks for your help!

    Body text in Home widgets and blog is font-family: 'Sorts Mill Goudy'
    Title (header) fonts are font-family: Montserrat, sans-serif;

    To do the swap on the body text, add this code to the bottom of your stylesheet.

    body {
      font-family: Montserrat, sans-serif;;
    }

    Adjust as necessary for size, etc.

    Thank you! Totally helped.

    Also, how can I change the color of the title on Home Widget 1 and the button color? If I'd like to make them black for instance (and only on this widget - not all the widgets...) how would I do that?

    .home-section-1 .widget-title {
      color: black;
    }
    
    .home-section-1 a.button {
      color: black !important;
      border: 3px solid black;
    }

    Hi Tom,

    I wanted to change the font from Sorts Mill Goudy to Montserrat but only for the SideBar Widgets but maintain it as the font for the body for the rest of the site. Is this possible?

    Thanks!

    Place this code in the bottom of your child theme stylesheet:

    .sidebar  ul,
    .sidebar  li,
    .sidebar a,
    .sidebar  p {
        font-family: Montserrat, sans-serif;
    }
