Customizing WordPress Post Titles

• July 21, 2014

I really like the WordPress twentyfourteen theme. Except for one thing: the presentation of post titles in all-caps. Fortunately it’s pretty easy to change it to something more aesthetically pleasing. I decided to use small-caps as a compromise between the theme default and the raw title as entered by the user.

To make the change select Appearance → Edit CSS and enter

/*
I really dislike the twentyfourteen theme converting titles to uppercase.
Instead capitalize each word and use a small caps font to achieve a 
similar result that is easier to read.
*/
.entry-title {
    text-transform: capitalize;
    font-variant: small-caps;
}
