The present home page has a list of posts, the last one titled “what, more?”, which I’m imagining going to another page with its own list of posts. So the second page is “nested” in that it doesn’t show the list of posts from the first page — and it has its own list. The Nested Pages app doesn’t seem to do that…

I guess that’s not an easy question. I found a plug-in called Nested Pages, but haven’t yet figured out if it can do what I’m envisioning. So far not…

I’m actually trying to increase the border, so tried adding larger numbers to your code above, but this didn’t work — it just expands to the default size, but no more.

I’m also trying to reduce the white space on either side of the text, and that probably will require some other tweak.

Any tips?

TIA…

Thanks for the tip. It looks like 23 is potentially easier to use, but the default settings mangled the site pretty well. Learning curves everywhere!

Ah — so maybe I should switch to a newer easier to use theme?

Another helpful person had me add this in the custom CSS:

/* Post title size */
.entry-title {
font-size: 1.5rem;font-family: times new roman; font-weight: 500;

…but I later realized that there are instances of large bold fonts throughout the theme – “leave comment”, “next post”, etc. I just tried defining the h1 etc. in the custom CSS, but that didn’t change anything. So is there a newer theme where one can universally adjust these fonts?

Thanks for your help!

Thanks Kathryn! I’m learning stuff! ??

So this is amusing – an hour later, I look at my site, and the font is reduced. While working, I’d been checking on both my PC and cell phone, even clearing my cache, but nothing changed. Is it possible that my ISP is caching stuff as well?

Anyway, the change worked, but I should add it into the “additional CSS” file as you suggested. As a last favor, could anyone tell me what I would add to that file?

Thanks so much for your help!

Not clear what the “CSS Thelma provided earlier” is – thelmachido suggested a change specific to cell phones, but I’d first like to reduce the font universally. I understand your suggestion, but don’t understand why my change in the theme editor isn’t working. And I don’t know what I’d add in Additional CSS to universally reduce the title font…

Thanks – the search function worked on the link you provided! But changing it did nothing. ??

This line would seem to be the one I’m looking for, but it’s not what thelmachido cited, and changing it does nothing.

.entry-title {
font-family: Montserrat, “Helvetica Neue”, sans-serif;
font-size: 18px;
font-size: 1.75rem;
font-weight: 700;
line-height: 1.25;
margin-bottom: 1em;
}

I’m actually in the theme editor. I assume this setting would be in style.css, but I looked in all the other files as well. I may simply be missing it, but the search function in Firefox isn’t helping – it’s not flagging text that’s obviously there…

The “find in page” function in Firefox clearly isn’t working right…

Okay, I’m feeling exceedingly stupid, but cannot find “2.5rem” anywhere. The search function in my browser isn’t finding it, and I’ve scrolled through every file in the theme editor till I’m cross-eyed. ??

I didn’t find the phrase “2.5” anywhere in the theme. Any clues for a clueless newbie? ??

I’d like to reduce it universally, though it’s biggest on my phone. I don’t know if there are “viewport” settings somewhere that would only apply to the phone…
