How to change the font of WordPress Site for free ( any theme )

Are you using a good theme but you don’t like its font? Themes are standardised. So, you may or may not like the font used in the theme. So, you can change it.

Some themes like Astra provide features to change the font, font size etc… But most of the themes don’t provide these features.

So, let’s change the font of your WordPress site.

Font changing Plugins

You can use a plugin called “Use any font” to change the font of your website. This plugin is a paid plugin. You have to pay $9.99 to download this plugin.

This plugin also can’t support all the themes.

So, I don’t recommend it as there are many other ways that are simpler and easier than using this plugin.

Change the font in headings

Do the same process again. But in the last step, change the star to h1, h2,h3 etc… and add a property “font-weight: “.  Enter the font weight you selected in Google Fonts.

FREE Code

My code looks like this ( for headings and body )

*{
font-family: 'Inter', sans-serif;
}
h1, h2, h3, h4, h5,h6,h7{
font-family: 'Inter', sans-serif;
font-weight: 800
}

Font: Inter
