At times a user will not like how the theme he used has styled his text or wants to customize texts or paragraphs for personal use.
This article will simply guide you on how to easily change fonts on WordPress to your desired tastes
Customizing fonts on WordPress
There are a good number of ways to customize fonts on WordPress. This include
Adjusting the Paragraph Headings
Paragraph headings are subheadings that make it easier for people to scan through your posts or pages.
To adjust the paragraph headings click on “all posts” from the “post” menu which is accessible from the dashboard.
You can choose to edit any post you want. To add a paragraph heading simply highlight the text and on the paragraph block click on the “heading”. This allows the user to add a subtitle or headings to his text.
Once you are done click on publish to activate the changes you have made to your text.
Using the Block Editor
This is another method a user can use to adjust the size of the text in his WordPress website.
To do this you have to click on the paragraph area and by the right-hand side of the screen you will see an option denoted with ” text settings”.
The text settings allow the user to select the size of the text which could be small, normal, medium, large, or huge. It also allows you to add custom sizes to your text.
When you are done with these changes simply click the upload button to save your changes.
Using a Font plugin
Font plugins also help to customize texts on WordPress. A plugin such as the Tiny MCE advanced plugin can help you do so
If in the case your WordPress website doesn’t have it you will have to install it via the plugin section on the dashboard plugin
After installing and activating the plugin click on settings and then on the “Tiny MCE advanced” to make the adjustments to your text.
The tiny MCE advanced with interesting options which can be used to customize texts via the block editor settings.
Once you are done with the changes head straight to the bottom of the page click on “save changes” and return to the post you want to edit.
On that page click on the add block button and search for a classic paragraph. Then click on the text you want to edit and change the font size from the drop-down menu options.
Using custom CSS
This method is mainly used when a user wants to change the entire text on the website, unlike the other methods that deal with individual texts.
Click on customize from the appearance menu on the dashboard. Once on this page simply select the button that says “additional CSS”.
The use of CSS requires coding and is dependent on the theme used. Let’s say you want to change the font size to ’16px’, you can choose a different font size by simply typing in the code
p {
font-size:16px;
}
Note that the above applies to paragraph texts only.
If you want to change the font size of a heading simply replace the” p” in the code and replace it with h2,h3, h4, etc. depending on the heading you want to change. Example
h2 {
font-size:32px;
}
After the changes make sure you click on the publish button to activate the changes
I hope this article has done a great job in highlighting the steps to take so as to customize fonts on your WordPress website.
