    Hi all

    Is there a way to change the font size for the textarea in “Write Post” (admin panel)?

    I tried changing textarea in wp-admin/wp-admin.css, I’ve also tried changing #content section, but neither had any effect at all. 15px and 35px text seem to be the same size here. ??

    The embarassing thing is, I have two installations, one of which I did successfully change the font size once, some time ago (but am now unable to do again).

  • What might be happening is that your textarea might have an ID or something, and there is a rule which is overriding your rules.

    So, you might have something like

    #post-text {
    font-size: small; }

    You might also have something like:

    #post-admin textarea {
    font-size: small; }

    Check for as many different references to the textarea as you can. Also, look at the source of the write post page to see if there are any other css files being referenced.

    Thanks for the quick reply.

    This is actually really embarrasing now. The real problem was FireFox somehow refusing to apply the new wp-admin.css (even though I restarted it and even though it did grab the new version). I cleared FireFox cache and it works as it should now.

    I don’t think I ran into this problem while playing around with theme style.css. I have no idea why wp-admin.css is treated differently. ??

    Sometimes browsers like to make things difficult for us.

    Eh, Microsoft?
