Table Formatting – Can’t Get to “Small Text”

    Greetings!

    I have the need to frequently update, and re-upload, a table into our Member Contacts page.

    –> Temporary password for this page, for your use: Hello_60093

    I love that in WordPress, I can simply cut and paste from my Excel sheet into the Editor, and a standard Table Block is formed. The text is overly large for good display. So when I edit (under Block–>Styles–>Typography) and choose “Small,” it looks great in the Editor window:


    However, it does not appear the same way in the published page. Something in the published page style settings seems to be “overriding” the style settings in the Editor.

    I am a real WordPress noobie but maybe there is something I need to do or learn to get this right. BTW, when I try to insert and use the “Flexible Table” block, I can’t cut/paste Excel sheet cells into it, otherwise I would have tried that block.

    Many thanks for any advice!!

    Hello,

    Faith theme was released in 2017 as a “classic” theme. I generally don’t test it with the Block Editor and the features that come with it.

    Having said that, your issue can be easily fixed.
    Go to Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS and add this code:

    .post-single table th,
    .post-single table td {
    font-size: inherit;
    }

    Tables should now prioritize the font-size that you set via the Block Editor.

    Best regards,
    Dumitru B.

    Hello Dumitru,

    Thank you so much for taking the time to provide that snippet of CSS code! That worked perfectly.

    Have a wonderful day.
