Wordpress Add-on font style not pulling through

Good morning,
I have installed the WP add on thanks and I am assuming it is something I have not checked somewhere but the font style I set for my basic pages - Raleway- is not coming through to the Blog page.
Any advice will be gratefully received as always.


Regards,
TomO

Re: Wordpress Add-on font style not pulling through

How are you applying Railway? Is it through custom CSS?
If so, is Custom CSS enabled in the page template being used for your WordPress theme?

Re: Wordpress Add-on font style not pulling through

Hi Rod,
custom-css is applied across the site but that does not control Raleway font.
I have a Google fonts statement filled in at the top of the typography section of the page template being used for the WP theme and all my other pages for that matter and the Prepend font familyw/ has Raleway populating the combo.
I have cleared template cache etc many times as I usually do when making changes.
It is just the blog not picking up the font style -  the colours and menu  etc OK. You can spot the difference jumping back to any other menu page - look at the W in OWENS.
This is on live as in the link below.

Grim here in Suffolk - just the day to do back end stuff....

Re: Wordpress Add-on font style not pulling through

Google has changed their fonts site; make sure you're using the newer code, that uses quotation marks for attribute values, rather than apostrophes. I found the same problem shortly after release, and the first update will allow both new and old syntax styles. In the meantime, just go copy the newer version of the <link...> element.

Re: Wordpress Add-on font style not pulling through

Thanks Matt,
Will give that a go.
Very big thanks from me for you and Ben pulling all this stuff together. I've said it before but BL is so much better for making changes to the website. A huge step forward that lets me make more tweaks than i ever used to in the CEn days

Re: Wordpress Add-on font style not pulling through

i just switched my WordPress theme to one where the page template is using a Google font (Lato) for the headings. But what I'm seeing is the fall-back Gill Sans font.
So it looks like you may have found a bug for Matt to squish.

(all fixed with the updated link from Google Fonts)
