Header 5

Usage

Open Appearance β†’ Customize β†’ Styles β†’ Header 5 to configure the fifth step on your heading scale. Defaults mirror Header 4 β€” Alternate font, uppercase, bold β€” but you can diverge for a distinct meta or sidebar heading voice.

Applies to <h5> elements and the H5 visual style (is-style-h5) in blocks and templates.

When to use it

  • Sidebar, footer, or filter panel headings that should stay smaller than card titles (H3).
  • WooCommerce or archive templates that expose H5-sized labels.
  • When you need two uppercase label sizes β€” tune Header 4 and Header 5 as a pair.

Tips

  • If H4 and H5 look identical, change Color to Muted on one level for subtle hierarchy.
  • Mobile Size matches desktop by default at this scale β€” only adjust if labels wrap awkwardly on phones.
  • Prefer Styles β†’ Tags for clickable filter chips; Header 5 is for semantic or visual headings, not pill navigation.
  • Visual presets do not change HTML outline level β€” pick the block's actual heading tag for accessibility when it is offered.
