Can't get Typography Manager > Target Element > Custom to work.

I can see you've added my-cust-title-large class to the paragraph, but I don't see the CSS you are supposed to add.

I checked customizer > additional CSS and your child theme style.css.

So you are missing this step: https://generatepress.com/forums/topic/change-font-on-a-specific-paragraph-container/#post-2208450

Hello Ying,
Ow yes now i understand.

Thing is I have no clue of CSS so what should I typically add there?
Just the font I want to use and it's weight? Effects like a shadow? Or also size? Color? I mean what is the minimum required? Since I can set the font type, weight, size etc in the customizer. No special effects like a shadow whatsoever.
I just want to use:
Font:Graphik, weight:300, size:18px, line-height:1em, letter-spacing: 0,2em, all Uppercase. But nothing else.

Thank you.

Hi Thierry,

If it's Font related - like font-size and font-family, you can follow the step here: https://generatepress.com/forums/topic/change-font-on-a-specific-paragraph-container/#post-2207259

So in your case, go to Appearance > Typography, and do something like this but something to your preference: https://share.getcloudapp.com/6quGvxoG

Hey Fernando,
i'm confused as to where i should define how that text should look:
- With Customizer > Additional CSS?
- Or with Customizer > Typography > Add Typography > Other > Custom > and then use the options provided there?

I mean, i now, just for the sake of testing, added
.my-cust-title-large {
text-shadow: 2px 2px 8px #FF0000;
}
under Additional CSS.

But when i go to Customizer > Typography i can't use any of the settings provided there while when i read this article i had the impression it should be possible. But it looks like it's not. So should i create that completely and only with CSS and not bother with Typography settings under Customizer? Or is there still something i'm missing here?

Thank you.

The typography system allows you to set font family, font size, font weight, letter spacing, line height, text-transform.

If you want to set the above styles for the custom selector .my-cust-title-large, you can, like this:

But if you want to add text-shadow or other effects, it will require CSS.

So in your case, add this CSS to customizer > additional CSS:

.my-cust-title-large {
text-shadow: 2px 2px 8px #FF0000;
}

And all the text blocks that have this class added will have the text-shadow.

Ying, Fernando,
we're running in circles and sure it might be due to my ignorance but as i said, when i do as shown in the screencast you just added in you last answer, that does not change a thing. No matter what i do, that text does not change at all.
I don't want to add any shadow or whatsoever. Can you please either show or explain every step by step, or alternatively fix this for me since i provided you with admin credentials?

No matter what i do, that text does not change at all.

You missed a dot in the customizer, please check my screenshot and reply carefully, there's a dot in front of the class!

Perfect! Now it works. Yes i missed that dot indeed, but as i said in a previous reply, i have absolutely no clue of CSS so i had no idea that dot was intended or important. As i said, my ignorance.
Thanks for your time and support Ying. Case closed :)

You are welcome :)
