You and your people should spend those hours yourselves updating your Kit Editor so the paying public can simply use what they paid for and get on with their blogging. For $25 a year and more, I should have to spend so much time on this. Now I’ve spent hours on TypeKit trying to get it right. I moved my blogs from self-hosted to to simplify my blogging and not have to spend hours on installations. When I did once email you to ask for all the selectors I needed, you (or someone else there) said something to the effect of, “You should just be able to declare selectors for HTML and BODY and have them cascade from there.” Would that it were so simple! I used TwentyTen before that, which came out in June 2010, and you still haven’t added that to the Kit Editor. It’s been months since WordPress changed its most popular themes, and yet your response continues to be “if you need help, just drop us a line.” I use Coraline, one of the top themes that came out in August 2010, and you still haven’t updated the Kit Editor to support it– oh, wait, I just checked and now I see it– five months after it came out. Mandy, I’m sorry, but it is unacceptable for a company like yours to charge a minimum of $25 a year for a service (more than I pay for my blog) and not keep it up to date. like I said, every THEME has a different stupid name for its headers, etc. Some of my CSS is below, but you will need your own modifiers. It would be SIMPLE to put a really helpful how-to together, but they just dont bother! Life is strange and people stranger.įor examples of my customization with Trajan and my favorite, Adelle. Then i check the style. TypeKit themseleves are HORRIFIC as far as explaining anything or providing support. First i try the plugin you recommend font-uploader, i uploaded and chose the font for headings and nothing happens. Then with you webpage open, you can use the menubar in developer tools to see EXACTLY the css name of your headers, text body, block headers, menu, you name it!
In Firefox, get the DEVELOPER TOOLS add-on and install it in Firefox (its free). To find your specific CSS big pain though, because there is not “standard” nomenclature in WordPress. I modify everything: menu, block headers, sidebars, etc. With this nifty plug-in, you can put in all the css modifiers you want.
This control panel will show up on SETTINGS panel in WordPress. You need to install TYPEKIT FONTS in your WordPress.
You can get Typekit to work in ANY WordPress website… But dont rely on their useless control panel, which doesnt even show up on ANY of my WordPress site dashbaords.
