Not able to change font-size

Each popular link you have also encloses its text in a span element, like this:
<a><span class="wpp-post-title">link text here</span></a>

The class wpp-post-title has 3 css styles: font-size, font-weight, line-height, which are applied after the <a> style which you’re trying to change.

So, you can remove the span element from the links or remove the styles from the wpp-post-title class or style the wpp-post-title instead of the <a> element.

Hi, thanks. That’s what I was looking for.

Also, can you help me remove the line-height?

I’ve tried adding line-height:normal and line-height:1em

But it doesn’t go away.

Line height isn’t something that you can really make go away, it’s similar to font-size in that way. Text has to have a font-size and, in a similar way, it has a line-height.

So, in this situation, you should choose a line-height that makes sense (i.e. looks good). Try putting in different values to see what works for you.
Here’s some info you might find useful: https://www.w3schools.com/cssref/pr_dim_line-height.asp

I can’t use negative value?

Oh yes, you can ??

I’m trying but it’s not working??

When I try changing the line-height of the class wpp-post-title to
line-height:3em;
or
line-height:-2em;
both work for me.

(I’m using firebug, by the way, to make those changes on the fly and see them work.)

It doesn’t work when I add -2em?? And I’m using Firebug too.

Does it not work when you try to change the css files or when you’re using Firebug?

I had to remove body {line-height:1.5} ??

Everything is fine now.

Thank you!
