How to change Fonts in Modernista Theme

[amandafuller]

Hi there
I have just bought the Modernista Theme from Pretty Blog Themes and am helping a friend to set it up.

Just wondering if anyone can please let me know how I can use google fonts in the theme for menu titles and sidebar/widget titles?

I haven't installed the theme yet as I am waiting for the domain to finish registering, but the link to the theme's demo page is included.

Any help would be SO appreciated!

Hi Amanda

You certainly can use Google fonts. If you know the ones you want to use, what I tend to do is enqueue them in the functions.php file and then do a find and replace in style.css to switch out the original font and add your new one.

Go to functions.php in your theme editor and find the line that looks like this:

wp_enqueue_style( 'google-fonts', '//fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Lato:400,700', array(), CHILD_THEME_VERSION );

Say you wanted to add Open Sans to the mix, change that line to this:

wp_enqueue_style( 'google-fonts', '//fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Lato:400,700 | Open+Sans:100,300,400,600,700', array(), CHILD_THEME_VERSION );

So add a |, then the name of your new font (with a + if it has more than one word), then the : followed by the weights you want to add, separated by ,.

There are probably plugins available which give you access to all of the Google Fonts in one go. I haven't looked into this.

Thanks
Dom
