I am new to html, new to WP, and new to BFA, so thanks for indulgence if this is a stupid question.

When I change the Font Size & Face setting in the Page Menu Bar options to:

14px "comic sans ms", arial, sans-serif

and save it, the only thing saved is:

14 px

but the font change does take effect. But if I resave the options page again, I lose my font settings, and only get the 14px.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

You need to have the CSS styles in the proper format.

14px "comic sans ms", arial, sans-serif should be:

font-family: Comic Sans MS, arial, sans-serif;
font-size: 14px;
color: #000000;

The semi-colons are critical.

I put a color in, but I guess you can leave that out and it'll be whatever the theme's default is.

Thanks for your quick reply, but I am afraid your solution didn't work. Tried several variants on using the font-family: and font-size: tags, with and without semi-colons, and had varying results that weren't successful.

Your example didn't enquote Comic Sans MS, so the font wasn't recongnized with that syntax.

P.S. I was just following the sample syntax adjacent to the entry field.

I wonder if WP doesn't like Comic Sans for some reason. Did you try some other font faces?

the comic sans face actually works, and I am using it elsewhere on my site with no problem.

I think the problem is in the code for the options page.

This is a bug, thank you for finding. To fix it in your version edit functions/bfa_theme_options.php
