    Hi,

    I am new to WP and am using twenty sixteen. I would like to change font styles and size without playing too much with css.

    How do I do this?

    Regards,

    Steve

  • Hi SteveFromAus

    Unfortunately the is no such easy options to change font style and size without playing with CSS. You must play with CSS to some extent to do so.

    Thanks!!

    At least specify where you would like to change font styles and size, since there are different font styles and sizes for different parts of the theme

    Hi Fernando_

    Ok you need to find that particular class or element in style.css and change font-style: and font-size: attribute if already exits within that class or add that attribute to that particular class you want to change.

    Best Regards!!

    Thanks,

    I am a bit confused though. I am running a child theme, when I go into the editor, style.css has no content. However, for the parent theme, there is a complete style.css. I thought the idea of a child theme was to prevent problems with updates, or do updates have no effect on the parent style.css? Which style.css do I edit, parent or child?

    I am using firefox/firebug addon to identify where changes need to be made.

    I have installed simple css plugin to assist, although I have no issue with editing style.css directly.

    Hi SteveFromAus

    You need edit files of child theme.
    I strongly recommend you not to make any changes in parent theme or main theme.

    Best Regards!!!

    I’m not editing (AFIK) any parent them files. The child theme is the active theme and all edcits are done via simple css. However, I note no additions are made to the chils style.css file, but all changes are reflected on my site.

    Regards,

    Steve
