    I’ve spend about 6 hours trying to figure this out, and I’ve found out how to do this with SOME text. It’s hard to decode the CSS to figure which part changes what part of the site.

    Can somebody please look at this contact page, and tell me how I can darken the letters? With the background I want, the grey letters are unusable.

    Is there a cheat sheet somewhere that tells you which css handles what part of the fonts of the site?

    Thanks!

  • Hi wayne..

    which font you want to change ? [Sentence de-capitalized]

    “If you’d like to book a consultation or an …. …. ” this one ?

    Hi Wayne,

    In your Style Sheet (style.css) you have:

    body {
    text-rendering: optimizelegibility;
    color: #959595;
    font-family: “Trebuchet MS”,”Arial”,”Helvetica”,”Verdana”,”sans-serif”;
    font-size: 12px;
    font-style: normal;
    font-weight: normal;
    line-height: 20px;
    margin: 0px;
    }

    Change to:

    body {
    text-rendering: optimizelegibility;
    color: black;
    font-family: “Trebuchet MS”,”Arial”,”Helvetica”,”Verdana”,”sans-serif”;
    font-size: 12px;
    font-style: normal;
    font-weight: normal;
    line-height: 20px;
    margin: 0px;
    }

    It is exactly the same code except the color declaration is changed to black. You can change this to what ever colour you like.

    Hope this helps.

    @adam: Thank you contributing to the forums but please do not encourage people to edit theme files directly. At best, they will lose all of their changes when they update the theme. At worst, they could bring their site down. They should be recommended to create a child theme or use a custom CSS plugin for their changes.

    Changes are fine but ask @wayne to do those in the child theme

    Thank you for everybody’s amazing helpfulness. I so appreciate. I did put the code in a child theme. Come to find out, the problem of the code not “obeying” me was Cloudflare. I had to put it in development mode, and flush the cache. So if you’re using Cloudflare, take note and do this, or you won’t see your changes.

    Here I go again fighting the tiny font size of body text of a new page. I dread small fonts, especially for older people like me.

    This time the tiny text is in my FAQ. I thought the above solution globally took care of all the body text of the site to make it readable. Apparently, I was mistaken.

    In this maze of CSS, can anybody tell me where to increase the font size of the text for the answers on my FAQ page? I’d totally appreciate it!

    Sorry if you feel that you’re being picked on a bit here, vibhorp, but can we also ask that you not capitalize your sentences? It’s just that it can be interpreted as shouting.
