Customising font size and case

  • Dear All,

    I ask for your kind help, or signpost to an appropriate thread on this matter. I have purchased a wordpress template from ‘templatemonster.com’. I am admittedly rather new to this software and am currently trying to familiarise myself with the WP dashboard to customise my site. The problem I am up against, which seems to be a remarkably simple and obvious issue to resolve is modifying text ie size/ font & case.

    Is it the case with WP generally that you have to change this in the CSS/ Style sheet code and not through a simplified dashboard function- where it seems everything else can be customised?

    I was on a live chat with templatemonster.com for 90 minutes who were giving me convoluted instructions on how to modify text (or maybe I just dont get code yet). I asked them to perform the instructions they were giving me to see if this modified my main menu text but I could see no difference after refreshing my site inspite of them telling me they could see the change- in this case from size 18px to 10px. I want to make sure also there is no issue with the template I purchased in terms of integrating with Wordress

    Currently the text on my site is all in upper case and a font size that is too large- it seems that if case can only be changed on the CSS stylesheet, it can only be upper or lower?

    Any enlightenment would be truly appreciated, I thought WP was designed for the technophobe newbies like me! Maybe I’m not even at that level!

    Many thanks for anyones attention
    Ollie

  • Remember to press CTRL and F5 simultaneously when viewing an updated page/site. Or try emptying your browser cache. This should ensure that your web browser fetches a fresh copy of the page rather than serving up an out-dated copy from your own cache.

    Also disable/deactivate any caching plugin(s).

    Esmi, many thanks. Firstly the updates are now visible so in future I will do as you suggest above. However, is this standard procedure for WP in terms of modifying text appearance- still seems a little un user friendly considering what you can modify using simple dashboard functions?

    Thanks again for the tip!

    is this standard procedure

    It is the standard procedure when viewing any updated site in a browser – not just WordPress sites.
