Unite Theme - Font Customization Not Working

Unite Theme
1

Hi there,

I have the following CSS to change the default font:
body {
font-family: helvetica, sans serif;
font-size: 12pt
}

It’s not working however. The font is serif.

I thought it might be due to having installed the TinyMCE Advanced. So I removed the font feature of that plugin, but nothing has changed. I hesitate to remove the plugin altogether, as it has features that I definitely use that are not a part of Wordpress’ offering. And I’m concerned as to what would happen to the entire site.

What is the default font of the Unite theme anyway?

Hello there,

I hope you are doing well today.

The theme’s default font is Helvetica.

You can use the following CSS code to change the font by going to Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS and pasting it there.

body {
    font-family: serif;
    font-size: 16px;
  
}

Best Regards,

Sorry, you have misunderstood me. I want sans serif.

I took out the CSS for making the font helvetica, as I didn’t realize that helvetica was the default font already. In the dashboard, in visual, the font is sans serifi, however, after publishing the font turns to serif. So strange.

That’s why I had to install TinyMCE Advanced, to get the sans serif that I wanted, but it’s a nuisance to have to change the font inline for every paragraph I write.

Here’s a page to look at. test page – Chicago Community Teaching Center

When looking in firebug, I clearly see that helvetica is lined out, but I have no idea why.

Resolved. The selector was: .entry-content, not body.
