How to Change Custom Fonts

To add custom fonts in WordPress, you can follow these steps:

Find the font you want to use and download it to your computer.
Upload the font files to your WordPress site. You can do this by going to your WordPress dashboard and navigating to Appearance > Editor > functions.php. Add the following code to the bottom of the file:

@font-face {
    font-family: 'Font Name';
    src: url('path/to/font.ttf') format('truetype'),
         url('path/to/font.woff') format('woff');
    font-weight: normal;
    font-style: normal;
}

Replace ‘Font Name’ with the name of your font and ‘path/to/font.ttf’ and ‘path/to/font.woff’ with the location of your font files.

Save the file and refresh your site. Your font should now be available to use in your theme.
To use the font in your theme, you will need to add CSS code to your stylesheet. Go to Appearance > Editor > style.css and add the following code:

body {
    font-family: 'Font Name', sans-serif;
}

Replace ‘Font Name’ with the name of your font.

Save the file and refresh your site. Your font should now be applied to your site.

Custom Web Fonts in Twenty Twenty Three Theme (Method 1)

If you’re using the default Twenty Twenty Three theme in WordPress, here’s how you can set the Arabic font:

Choose an Arabic Font: Select the Arabic font you want to use on your WordPress website. You can find Arabic fonts from font websites or perform an online search.
Install the Arabic Font: Download the font files to your computer. Typically, fonts come in a zip file format. Extract the font files from the zip folder.
Create a Child Theme (Optional): It’s recommended to create a child theme before making any modifications to the Twenty Twenty Three theme. This ensures that your changes won’t be overwritten when the theme is updated. You can follow the WordPress documentation to create a child theme.
Upload the Font Files: Connect to your WordPress website using FTP or through the hosting file manager. Navigate to the child theme directory (e.g., wp-content/themes/twentytwentythree-child) and create a new folder named “fonts.” Upload the Arabic font files (e.g., .ttf, .woff) to this “fonts” folder.
Edit the Child Theme’s CSS: In the child theme directory, locate the style.css file and open it with a text editor.
Add Font-Face CSS Code: Inside the style.css file, add the following CSS code to define the Arabic font face:

@font-face {
  font-family: 'YourFontName';
  src: url('fonts/fontfile.ttf') format('truetype');
  /* Add more src lines if your font has multiple file formats (e.g., .eot, .woff) */
}

Replace ‘YourFontName’ with the desired font name and ‘fonts/fontfile.ttf’ with the relative path to the font file within the child theme’s “fonts” folder.
Apply the Arabic Font to the Website: To apply the Arabic font to specific elements, such as headings or paragraphs, you’ll need to target those elements in the CSS. For example:

body {
  font-family: 'YourFontName', sans-serif;
}

Replace ‘YourFontName’ with the font name you specified in the previous step. You can target specific elements by using their corresponding CSS selectors.
Save the Changes: Save the style.css file and upload it back to your WordPress website, replacing the existing file.
After following these steps, the Arabic font should be applied to your Twenty Twenty Three theme. Remember to clear any caching plugins or CDN caches you may be using to see the font changes take effect.
