Increasing font size for pages and posts

You’ll need to contact Elegant Themes for help — these forums don’t support commercial themes.

Unfortunately their forums have not been helpful, and I believe that the support I’m seeking goes beyond the specific theme to simply using WordPress.

What would your suggestion be regardless of theme?

A suggestion for a CSS style edit?

A suggestion for a plugin?

Hi Jkern,

You can open and edit your style.css and find out this code:

html, body, div, span, applet, object, iframe,
h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, p, blockquote, pre,
a, abbr, acronym, address, big, cite, code,
del, dfn, em, font, img, ins, kbd, q, s, samp,
small, strike, strong, sub, sup, tt, var,
b, u, i, center,
dl, dt, dd, ol, ul, li,
fieldset, form, label, legend { margin: 0; padding: 0; border: 0; outline: 0; font-size: 100%; vertical-align: baseline; background: transparent; }

You can change the value of “font-size” from 100% become any number you want (e.g: 30px – remove the %)

p.s: sorry mod, i just want to help

suggestion for a CSS style edit?

The above suggestion is fine, however, be aware that your changes to theme files will be overwritten (and lost) when the theme is updated. It’s much better to use a custom CSS option or plug-in or a child theme to modify your theme.

Thank you for the suggestion shinning. That’s helpful. I’ll give that a try.

WPyogi, that makes sense. I’ve been working on creating a child theme. Haven’t quite figured out all that I need to keep in mind before I actually do it, but I’ll get there. I’m reading as much as I can about it so I’m not thrown by anything quirky that might happen.

Thanks everyone.

Be careful if you leave a Child Theme for later, as some servers are set to update themes automatically.

Good point. I’ll try to do it as soon as possible.

Right now, if they updated today or next week, I already would have some work to do, but it’s still do-able. I’d just rather not have to start over since creating a website this way is extremely new to me.

Thanks!
