Changa One font not working

I pasted the link into my HTML and wrote the CSS exactly as he described, but my h1 is still the standard sans-serif font. I have made sure to save the HTML and the CSS and nothing has changed. Any help figuring this out would be appreciated!

I had the same issue but none of the above solved it. For me using Firefox I just cleared all my cache and then everything displayed ok.

Hello Robert

This is a common question popping up the forums. The browser does not like the pipe | inside the link. Change the pipe to the charter entity version, &7c So this may look like this, 700,800%7cChanga+One. This should solve the issue.

Ohh okay, so there was originally the pipe between Changa+One and Open+Sans in the link, what do I replace the pipe with?

I'm having the same problem as Robert, but Philip I don't understand your answer. What is "&7c"? Can you describe what symbol you're saying should replace the pipe (|) inside the link? Thanks.

That's precisely what you do, Remove the pipe ( | ) And put &c7 in it's place.

After I posted my last response, I decided to obviate altogether the need for the separation between the two fonts. I just pasted two separate links - one for Changa One and one for Open Sans. I'm completely new to coding, so this may cause problems down the line, but it works for now. Would still appreciate any help regarding the "&7c" issue in case my temporary fix does end up being untenable.
