Can’t Change Font Size

  • I’m using the White House theme, and for some reason it’s not letting me change font sizes with regular html code.

    The only way I can change the size is by using header tags, but I’d rather have more options.

    Changing the color works fine.

    Anyone have any ideas?

    Thanks!

  • There are thousands of WordPress themes – which means that many people won’t be familiar with your particular theme. So a link to your site where people can see the theme might result in more responses.

    Sure… here’s the site.

    I can’t see any reason why you shouldn’t be able to adjust the font size of your text.

    Me neither… it’s getting very frustrating, lol.

    As an example, here is the first bit of the code for that page.

    <font size=”20px” color=”#0000ff”>< strong>KIWI WELL DRILLERS NZ</font>
    <font color=”#333333″>
    ? Domestic ? Life style blocks ? Irrigation
    ? Farm supply ? Industrial ? Town supply< /strong>
    </font>

    As you can see, the size of the font definitely isn’t 20px.

    Am I just being incredibly stupid or should this be working?

    You’d be far better off editing your theme’s stylesheet to increase text sizes globally. Or using something lik:

    <span style="font-size:20px;color:#0000ff;">KIWI WELL DRILLERS NZ</span>

    if you want to adjust text sizes using inline style on a case-by-case basis.

    The code you put worked… thank you very much for that.

    Any idea why that would work and not the other method?

    Because font values (as far as I remember) used single digit keywords: font value=1 rather than px sizes.

    I actually tried using it without the “px” and it didn’t work either.

    Anyway, thanks for the help :).
