  Hi there, I checked your site and see that you have successfully added custom CSS. If you have further questions, please let us know.

  Hi sacredpath, Thank you for your quick response.

  Say, it’s a mobilization page and we would love to use a brush-like font (to evoke this “banner look”).

  I was only able to change the background color of the front page, not the subpages.

  Do you know how I could go about it? Best, i

  Ok, we can get you there. If I go to your call for action page, are you wanting to change the color of the white area at the top, or do you want to change the orang color at the bottom?

  On the fonts, this can get tricky. On web sites, the first place that browsers look for fonts is in the website files themselves, or calls to internet-based fonts. If the font specified is not there, it then looks to the fonts installed on the visitor’s computer, and if it isn’t there, then it will substitute its own serif or sans-serif font. We can only use the custom fonts listed at Appearance > Customize > Fonts, and you can only specify two fonts, one for headings and one for the body text. We may be able to set one of those to a script font for you so that you can use that one, and then override the other places that font shows up with CSS. I’d need a little more in the way of an example page and a better idea of which text on that page you are wanting to use that script font on. It may be that it can be done within an image that is then uploaded and inserted either into your page content or with CSS into another page element.

  Looking forward to hearing back from you on this.

  Ah, I will look into this. Thank you so much!

  Do I have access to source files (@script)? I would like to track digital engagement events on petition pages. To this end, I would need to include a tracking script. Would you know this by any chance?

  Sunny greetings,
