Your site title and tagline **are** in italics, it’s just that it’s hard to tell they are because of the “cursive” style you’ve opted for. If you remove this bit of code it’ll be more obvious that your text is italicized: `font-family: cursive;` * Thread Starter [born61](https://wordpress.org/support/users/born61/) * (@born61) * [10 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/editing-css-title/#post-6551842) * i wrote * .site-title a { font-size: 3.375em; font-family: cursive !important; font-style: italic !important; } * .site-description { font-size: 1.99em; font-family: cursive; font-style: italic;} * but with browser’ ispector i see * media=”all” .site-description { font-size: 1.99em; font-style: italic; } media =”all” .site-title a { border-bottom: 0; color: inherit; } * Thread Starter [born61](https://wordpress.org/support/users/born61/) * (@born61) * [10 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/editing-css-title/#post-6551843) * then i post * .site-title a { font-size: 3.375em; font-family: cursive; } * but nothing * Thread Starter [born61](https://wordpress.org/support/users/born61/) * (@born61) * [10 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/editing-css-title/#post-6551847) * i try all * site-title a:focus, a:active, a:hover, a:visited { font-family: cursive; } * nothing * Moderator [Kathryn Presner](https://wordpress.org/support/users/zoonini/) * (@zoonini) * [10 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/editing-css-title/#post-6551853) * This is what I’m seeing: * [⌊Name surname⌉⌊Name surname⌉[ * Could you upload a screenshot so I can see what the problem is? * Here’s a guide on how to make a screenshot: [http://en.support.wordpress.com/make-a-screenshot/](http://en.support.wordpress.com/make-a-screenshot/) * You can upload the screenshot – in a graphic format like JPG, PNG, or PDF – in your Media Library, and provide a link so I can see it, or upload it with a service like [Imgur](https://imgur.com/) or [Snaggy](http://snag.gy/). * Thread Starter [born61](https://wordpress.org/support/users/born61/) * (@born61) * [10 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/editing-css-title/#post-6551857) * you can see the jpg in the post7 [http://wpdev1.altervista.org/post7/](http://wpdev1.altervista.org/post7/) * Moderator [Kathryn Presner](https://wordpress.org/support/users/zoonini/) * (@zoonini) * [10 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/editing-css-title/#post-6551859) * Looks like your computer is displaying Comic Sans for the site title, which may not show italics as you expect. Intstead of just choosing a generic font family, I’d suggest you pick a specific font for more predictable results from device to device. For example: * `font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif;` * Thread Starter [born61](https://wordpress.org/support/users/born61/) * (@born61) * [10 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/editing-css-title/#post-6551862) * nothing i don’t undarstand * in ispector browser i see tagline ok media=”all” .site-description { font-size: 1.99em; font-style: italic; } * then why title not accepted italic? inspector is .site-title { font-size: 3.375em;} * problem is because title is a href? * the override is to href h1.site-title a { * or * h1.site-title { * 🙁 * [sacredpath](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sacredpath/) * (@sacredpath) * Automattic Happiness Engineer * [10 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/editing-css-title/#post-6551946) * Hi, I did the following using the web inspector in my browser. * ``` h1.site-title a { font-family: cursive,arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 3.375em; font-style: italic; } ``` * The cursive font has its own slant to the letters, and italic can’t be applied to that particular font. Given that cursive may not be supported on all systems, I’ve added some general fallbacks to the font stack. If cursive doesn’t load for a visitor, the one of the other fonts will load and the italic font style will be applied to those. * I would suggest using the same font stack on .site-description as well so that things will look consistent on all systems and browsers. * Thread Starter [born61](https://wordpress.org/support/users/born61/) * (@born61) * [10 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/editing-css-title/#post-6551964) * well i found * if i add css in style.css of thema-child it not work * if i add css in appareance css it work * my style.css child is /* * Theme Name: boardwalk-child Theme URI: [http://www.wpdev1.altervista.org](http://www.wpdev1.altervista.org) Author: Io Author URI: [http://www.wpdev1.altervista.org](http://www.wpdev1.altervista.org) Description: Un tema child Template: boardwalk Version: 1.0 * */ [@import](https://wordpress.org/support/users/import/) url(“../boardwalk/ style.css”); * ……. body.page .entry-thumbnail, body.single .entry-thumbnail { display: none;}….…..…. * Moderator [Kathryn Presner](https://wordpress.org/support/users/zoonini/) * (@zoonini) * [10 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/editing-css-title/#post-6551990) * Did you put the new CSS rules at the very **bottom** of your child theme’s CSS?
