Hi,

I’ve set up an under construction page and loaded a particular font through typekit.
I’ve then customised my site using the appearance options, changed the fonts and they show up great on the site but they are not changing on the under construction page. I really want to open up the letter spacing on the holding page because it’s very tight.

The site is http://www.vinnovate.com.au

Thanks!

Hi there,

Please add following code in Customize -> Custom -> CSS :

.x-under-construction h2 {
    font-family: Lato, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif;
    letter-spacing: 0.125em;
}

Hope that helps.

Hi there!

It helped with the spacing but not so much with the font.
How can I change it to a font I’ve loaded through typekit?

Thank you!

Hi there,

Thanks for updating. Which font you have loaded through Typekit? Please name the font-family name. Also since under construction is a temporary page, you can ignore this and complete your site. Lato looks good enough for a under construction page I guess.

Cheers!

I’ve loaded Proxima Nova through typekit.
It’s not really worrying me but it is something I’d like to fix. It’s the brand typeface and it would be good for their brand name to actually appear in the correct brand font.

Hi there,

Thanks for updating. It seems the font was not loaded correctly or might not work on a under construction page. If you want, we can have a look inside. Would you mind providing us with login credentials so we can take a closer look? To do this, you can make a post with the following info:

– Link to your site
– WordPress Admin username / password
– FTP credentials

Yes! Brilliant!! Thank you so much for your help.
Not a coder in any way, shape or form so it’s really great to have some extra help!
