Thank you for building this great plugin! I love the flexibility. Question for you.. Is there a place that where I can see what each of the loaded fonts look like? The names don’t reveal too much about them.
Thank you,
Mike
Actually, I found this site.
http://www.google.com/webfonts#ChoosePlace:select
Maybe should be referenced on your site. Its sortable and you can put your own text in. Thank you!
The text in the “your CSS” section does not stay. And the changes I made dissapeared. Please help.
I’m having the same issues, went back to edit and the ‘Your CSS block is empty.’ Would love to be able to edit. Or can you point me in the direction of where it’s saved???
Sorry to report that your instructions as listed are not sufficient to make the changes work. Looks like a click and save and we’re good to go, but that’s not the case.
Love that you have the font appearances, that’s a huge improvement over other google font plugins, but the click and save appearance is only half complete for us less than professional CSSers. Hope that you’ll take it the distance!
Agreed, there are some steps missing. Perhaps it has to do with what version of WordPress we are using.
Lizatom would do well to put a step by step (with screenshots) onto this page. Looks like I’ll go elsewhere for fonts.
