I cannot change font sizes in Wordpress

GeorgR. · 01-23-2009, 07:21 PM

I have NO IDEA whatsoever how to change the font sizes in WP with the built-in editor.

I edit a post and there is NO way to increase the font size or even set the font style. Am i missing something? I dont get it.

I see the H1, H2 tags, but those dont really help. Where is that option?

You can either use headings in the drop down box where it says paragraph or give this plugin a try:

WordPress › TinyMCE Advanced WordPress Plugins

Go into the html editor....You can see it in your
screen shot.

Top Tab on right

<span style="font-size: 9pt;"> TEXT </span>

(Change the number to what ever size you want.)

-or-

You can use header tags (which you should use for relevant keywords/SEO)

<h1> TEXT </h1>
<h2> TEXT </h2>
<h3> TEXT </h3>

If you want a site wide change, the best and easiest way is to change the font tags in the themes style sheet.

thanks, this might do it!

Its still beyond me why this essential feature is not part of TinyMCE or accessible from WP?

IM Reporter, sure. But i want this WISYWIG.

Thanks for raising this question - there's quite a few issues I've got with changing the standard WP set up and this will help.

You can change the fonts in the Style Sheets...

Get this for starters
Firebug - Web Development Evolved

That plugin for firefox will show you exactly what to change in your style sheet.

The Tiny MCE Advanced plugin is the way to go for the quickest and easiest way to edit text sizes. Try the HTML code first.
