  I’m trying to add custom fonts to my theme. I have converted the fonts, uploaded them to my file manager, placed them in the CSS with the file path, and integrated where I want them. I have also tried this on the parent theme and my child theme, but nothing changes. I have tried two different fonts, but neither work. What am I doing wrong?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  both the Premium and Business plans have an extra pre-defined set of custom fonts available under the Custom Design part of the upgrade. See here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-fonts/

  These Google fonts can be used free of charge on any theme.
  https://en.blog.wordpress.com/2015/07/31/free-google-fonts/ and you will find them in the customizer https://en.support.wordpress.com/customizer/

  If you are referring only to the text inside of your posts and pages you can make some changes without an annually renewable upgrade.

  For changing font families, colors and size in text in posts or pages either post by post or page by page by coding into the Text ie. HTML editor see http://wpbtips.wordpress.com/2009/07/11/formatting-text-pt-5/

  For changing font colors in text in posts or pages either post by post or page by page using the #4 icon (Select text color – change the text color) in Row 2 the Visual editor. http://en.support.wordpress.com/visual-editor/#row-2

  To display the second row of icons, first select the toolbar toggle icon at the end of row 1 and click it. https://i0.wp.com/en.support.files.wordpress.com/2009/08/kitchensink.png
  Then see here https://en.support.wordpress.com/visual-editor/#text-color

  However, if you want to make any font changes to blog titles or widget titles then you need the premium upgrade bundle that includes the custom design upgrade in it.

  See here for details on purchasing an annually renewable upgrade http://store.wordpress.com/pricing that contains a custom design upgrade required for CSS editing:

  Note 1: Once you have the required upgrade you can use this link https://en.forums.wordpress.com/forum/css-customization#postform so you can create a thread that will appear in the CSS Forum where you will get the help you need with CSS editing.

  Note 2: You can also post there prior to purchasing an upgrade to get an answer to whether or not what you want to do can be accomplished via CSS editing.
