In reply to Duha. Make sure that the plugin and the theme you're using are both updated to their newest version. Then try deactivating all plugins besides Easy Google Fonts and check if the icons then show up.

In reply to Zoey W. If you use a caching plugin then make sure to clear your site's cache. You may need to also clear the browser cache on your phone, and then you will see the new font displaying.

Thank you! This easily changed the font on my site on my computer, but when I view it on my phone the font has not changed. What am I missing!?

In Comment / reply to Blackhawk, using this without the plugin and afterwards host them local using the plugin Simple Custom CSS and JS, create a folder fonts where you put in your local woff and woff2 files gives even a extra speed boost.

This was EXACTLY what I was looking for. Such a simple guide!
I didn’t use change the theme font since I wanted to keep the header and main text font styles separate but it was easy enough based on your instructions.

In reply to Lisa. Hey Lisa, Easy Google Fonts actually comes with this functionality. In the tutorial, I showed you how to change the font site-wide by using the Theme Typography section, but Easy Google Fonts also comes with a Default Typography section that includes controls for just the headings and paragraph elements (screenshot).

Thanks Ben! This was super helpful and I have successfully changed the font on my site. Pretty proud of myself 🙂

Now I want to update the headings and quotes to different fonts. Any chance you could do a part two letting me know how to do that? Thanks so much for your helpful post.

In reply to Joshua. Is this in regards to the website in your comment? If so, you can use this CSS to keep the menu icon from breaking: .fa { font-family: "FontAwesome" !important; } A lot of themes (mine included!) use an icon font called Font Awesome. What's happening is that the font used for the icon changes and then there isn't a glyph in the new font for a hamburger menu icon. The above CSS forces all Font Awesome elements to always use the Font Awesome font.

Hey Ben,

This is a great tool but I’m having trouble with my menu. I can’t change it’s font by using the default typography settings. I CAN change everything by using the theme typography settings but then my hamburger icon changes to a square outline.

How can I change my menu font without losing my hamburger icon?

Wow Ben! Thanks for this post. I am only relatively new to WordPress and was wracking my brain trying to figure out how to change the font. Being used to the very advertised drag and drop website builders like Wix and Weebly I had no idea if fonts could even be changed in WordPress themes so I did a google search and, luckily for me, your post came up.

I am building a new website. I had already selected a font for labels on Averly and I wanted the same style to continue on the website. I followed your instructions to install the Easy Google Fonts plugin. Lo and behold, there was the font I needed!

Thank you very much! I have now bookmarked your page for future reference and perusal.
