CSS Tips & Tricks

Google Fonts is a collection of web-ready fonts to use on your website. See Getting Started with the Google Fonts API and A Beginners Guide to Using Google Web Fonts for tutorials on using Google Fonts. Once you’ve found a font to use, follow the directions below.

Adding a Google Font to Your Website

  1. Find the CSS @import code. You cannot use the HTML or Javascript code.
  2. Add the @import code to the Custom CSS section in the WordPress dashboard. Make sure the @import code is on the first line of the Custom CSS section. Do not include any <style> or </style> tags.

  3. To change the font of the content text, use this code, making sure to add in the Font Name where indicated. If the font name has a space in it, use a space character, not a plus sign. (i.e. ‘Unica One’ instead of ‘Unica+One’).
    body {
       font-family: 'FONT NAME';
    }

    To change the font of the headings, use this code:

    h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6 {
       font-family: 'FONT NAME';
    }
  4. Click “Save CSS.”
To hide the title on the homepage, add this code to your Custom CSS:

body.home .page-header {
   display: none;
}
To hide the author byline and publish date on posts, add this code to your Custom CSS:

body.single-post time.published,
body.single-post p.byline.author.vcard {
   display: none;
}

To hide only the author byline, add this code:

body.single-post p.byline.author.vcard {
   display: none;
}

To hide only the publish date, add this code:

body.single-post time.published {
   display: none;
}

comments-closed

To hide the “comments are closed” notification at the bottom of posts (example: Markup: Text Alignment), add this code to your Custom CSS:

body.single-post #comments {
   display: none;
}
Breadcrumbs
Breadcrumbs appear above the page title and sidebars.

To hide breadcrumbs on all pages and posts, add this code to the Custom CSS:

.breadcrumbs {
   display: none;
}

To hide breadcrumbs on only pages, add this code:

body.page .breadcrumbs {
   display: none;
}

To hide breadcrumbs on only posts, add this code:

body.single .breadcrumbs {
   display: none;
}
Landscapes - A site with a centered logo
A site with a centered logo.

In order to center the logo in the header, Full Width Site Title must be set to Full Width in the Customizer. This will remove the search bar and any content in the Header Right widget area of the header. Then add this code to your Custom CSS:

.header-logo {
   text-align: center;
}
