Hi there
It seems that the post titles in Polestar are set to h1, which doesn’t work for me, I’d like them to be h2 (which is WordPress convention). How can I adjust the CSS to make this happen?Hi 🙂
Are you asking about single posts and pages?
h1is correct for the post title in that case. Here is _s as an example, perhaps the most vetted WordPress theme there is:https://github.com/Automattic/_s/blob/master/template-parts/content.php#L16
Hi Andrew
Cool, I have been looking in the Polestar template for that sort of setting but it isn’t as clear as the example you’ve given me.
I have h1 text embedded into a parallax image as my page header and I use a different font than the one I’d like to have as my post titles, so making post titles h2 is a good fix. Is it possible? I assume there’s some custom css I can use?Thanks for the information. The link I sent isn’t a setting, just the source for a theme using
h1as post titles. CSS can’t change HTML markup. Please, send me a link to the page concerned and I’ll take a look.Here is the same line in Polestar: https://github.com/purothemes/polestar/blob/develop/template-parts/content.php#L37.
Super, thanks for the details.
h1is correct on the single post page though. I’m not following why you’d want to change it. The page needs oneh1tag.So every page needs at least one use of h1?
I want to change it because I’m a type nerd and want my post headers to be Source Sans Pro like the rest of the post and only use Raleway bold for the header images… it’s a bit clunky in the lower case mode for post titles :}Sure, add to
Customize > Additional CSS:.site-content .entry-header .entry-title { color: #2d2d2d; font-family: 'Source Sans Pro'; font-size: 29px; }Adjust the colour value and font size value as required.
Every page needs an
h1tag, ideally, yes.Almost there — how can we add something about taking out the extra letter-spacing, which is still inherited from the h1 text (and looks way too spacy)? It’s doing what I want though, thanks!
Sure. The letter spacing is being added by Easy Google Fonts plugin. One option is to remove it from the EGF settings, unless you need it elsewhere. The way it’s been added to Easy Google Fonts means it will impact every
h1tag in the site. The theme isn’t adding the letter spacing.Or you can add it to the Additional CSS rule:
.site-content .entry-header .entry-title { color: #2d2d2d; font-family: 'Source Sans Pro'; font-size: 29px; letter-spacing: normal; }letter-spacing: normalThanks. Yes, I realised when I added it (the spacing) that it was affecting every h1 tag, but it works very well on the headers. It’s going to be good to have this bit of customising! Many thanks again, Andrew.
