Changing the font size on my wordpress theme

Jayson L · 11-14-2009, 10:12 PM

How do I change the font size on my wordpress theme on both the pages and posts? I have went in and made some changes, but nothing seems to happen. I appreciate any help. Here is the site: www.mymichiganautoinsurance.com

Thanks,

Jayson

Look for the theme style sheet (extension css) probably in a directory called css.

You should see something like this:

body{
font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 110%;
}

Changing the percentage may be the easiest if you want the same change across the site. If there is no font-size you could add a percentage here. Test it and see if it works!

You may find that the fonts are specified throughout the style sheet, you can change these if you want to change only some of the sizes.

Hopefully this will work, if not come back with more information & questions

yes and a easyier way to figure out what to change is vew the page source of your site.. find the text you want to change check the "style" or "ID" and then find that code or # in your css file and start changing

Its weird that more people dont talk about this topic. But after lots of searching I found a killer easy to use plugin to allow you to change the font family, size, etc with just a few clicks. Its called the TinyMCE advanced plugin. You can get it here: WordPress › TinyMCE Advanced WordPress Plugins
