Need to change several font sizes in a tricky theme called Irresistible

  • I am using the “Irresistible” theme and managed to increase the font size of my post content. However, it also increased the size of the information line (post date, comments, category) and the information in the widget bars.

    I actually want the widget bar font to be smaller, along with the post date, comments, and category line, while keeping the post content font larger. Could someone help me locate the stylesheet line that I’m overlooking?

    Here is how the website looks right now: https://varpness.com/images/varpness1.jpg

    And here is a copy of the style.css file: https://varpness.com/images/style.css

    Thank you for your help.

  • A url for the actual site would be a lot more useful. Otherwise, all anyone can offer are guesses – at best.

    I have it in maintenance mode right now so visitors are not confused. I posted a picture of the website and the stylesheet file, so I’m not sure how the actual website would be any more useful. Perhaps I am just ignorant though.

    As you’ve already found out, stylesheets contain formatting instructions that “cascade”. In other words, styling near the bottom of the file can completely over-write the styling in the upper part of the file. Since the changes you want are quite specific, it’s only by examining the site and looking at the “cascade” that people can hope to give you some reasonably focused solutions. Pictures and a copy of the stylesheet aren’t enough.

    Sorry.

    Okay, I see what you’re saying. Thank you for educating me on that subject. ??

    I’m taking the website out of maintenance mode so you’ll be able to see how the cascading works. Thank you for looking into this for me.

    I kind of thought this would be difficult, because I can generally figure this stuff out on my own. It looks like I might need to add a font size tag for the line specific to my post content body, but I’m having trouble locating it.

    Is it preferred that I post my css directly into this thread, or is my link okay?

    In case anyone else reads this later, it turns out I need to add a few font size lines to the areas in which I needed to change. I basically increased the body font size (in this case I converted it from px to em). This made everything bigger, so I went into the individual tags and added a font size: 0.6em line which shrunk the parts that I didn’t want to be so big.

    I hope this helps future visitors who are working with the same theme.

    I need to increase the picture size in my site, but I don’t know how to do it.
