Wordpress and CSS

jaybaker · 03-11-2010, 03:56 PM

Hello warriors,

I have a client that wants their menu items font increased to 16pt. I have tried various spots in the actual css for the theme with out any results. You can see the site at http://www.lighthousesolutionsnow.com/
I looked in the page source and see classes as seen below but nothing in the css file.

Code:

<li class="page_item page-item-3">

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Edit:

Oops, Sorry about the "parked" domain deal. I was in a hurry to answer a clients call and didnt realize I forgot the last bit.

One of the problems with editing someone else's work is finding the correct CSS element to edit.

If you're using Firefox you may want to add the Firebug add-on.

Once it's installed you can click the 'inspect' icon (second from the left) and then hover your mouse over the area you want to change.

Firebug will display the CSS element (div or class) and you can then go and find that element in your stylesheet to edit it.

Cheers,

Martin.

The site is parked.

You can use Firebug extension for firefox as what Abledragon said. Really it helps a lot when working with CSS.
