Check Appearance -> Editor- > style.css (check right bottom list of theme file) * This should give you some idea on changing size, font type etc: [http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_font.asp](http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_font.asp) * [WPyogi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpyogi/) * (@wpyogi) * [12 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/forever-theme-customization-1/#post-4331214) * **[@wongpk](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wongpk/)** – what happens to those changes when the theme is updated? * **[@scrawford85](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scrawford85/)** – don’t modify theme files as your changes will be lost when the theme is updated. CSS changes can be safely made using Custom CSS – in this case, you can use JetPack’s Edit CSS. * Since there are multiple places for fonts in the theme, what specifically do you want to change? * Thread Starter [scrawford85](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scrawford85/) * (@scrawford85) * [12 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/forever-theme-customization-1/#post-4331216) * This is all confusing. Is there a simple way to accomplish this? * Thread Starter [scrawford85](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scrawford85/) * (@scrawford85) * [12 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/forever-theme-customization-1/#post-4331218) * I just want to make all of the text darker or slightly bolder so that it’s easier to read, but I don’t want all of the text to look **bold**. If that makes sense. * [WPyogi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpyogi/) * (@wpyogi) * [12 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/forever-theme-customization-1/#post-4331222) * Try adding this under Edit CSS: * ``` body, button, input, select, textarea { color: #000000; } ``` * Thread Starter [scrawford85](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scrawford85/) * (@scrawford85) * [12 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/forever-theme-customization-1/#post-4331226) * That seems to have worked for the main text. Can I do something similar for all of the titles and headings? As well as the site title and tagline? * [wong](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wongpk/) * (@wongpk) * [12 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/forever-theme-customization-1/#post-4331227) * [@wpyogi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpyogi/): Ah… Correct, forgot about that… * [@scrawford85](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scrawford85/): Try to add your necessary CSS class. Try this tool: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mhb4n0yGYT4](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mhb4n0yGYT4) * Check for more CSS if needed: [http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_font.asp](http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_font.asp) * [WPyogi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpyogi/) * (@wpyogi) * [12 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/forever-theme-customization-1/#post-4331282) * Looks like you got this figured out?

That worked! * [stevenabrown](https://wordpress.org/support/users/stevenabrown/) * (@stevenabrown) * [11 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/forever-theme-customization-1/#post-4331427) * I’m trying to change the size and color of the titles of my pages (HOME, ABOUT US, ETC and make them larger before clicking on them. Any help would be appreciated.
