Change the font size of title on post pages

    I have tried various ways of changing the font size of the Title on post pages, which is too large, such as using Firebug to find the CSS code and then use a plugin or child theme, without success.

    My site is https://www.pcbuyerbeware.co.uk/ and the theme is Expound. I contracted the author but he wasn’t forthcoming with the css code that his theme uses.

    The following is all there is in the Style.css page:

    /* Expound is based on Underscores https://underscores.me/, (C) 2012-2013 Automattic, Inc.
    */

    @import url(‘css/reset.css’);
    @import url(‘css/expound.css?v=20140129’);

    The missing part of the url is https://www.pcbuyerbeware.co.uk/.

    I wasn’t able to use Firebug in Firefox to locate the css code.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Since that is a commercial theme, we ask that you please go to their official support channel, so you can get support from the people who know it best.

    Forum volunteers are also not given access to commercial products, so they would not know why it is not working properly. Other community members who may have faced your issue might be able to help you but your best bet is your product’s developer. Keep in mind we encourage you to use the official support venues, as it allows the developers to be aware of issues with their code and gives back to the community in a more robust way.

    If you mean the top title ( https://i.imgur.com/8rCV5b9.png ), looks like this is the CSS:

    .single .site-content .entry-title {
	font-size: 44px;
	line-height: 54px;
	margin-bottom: 20px;
}

    Specifically, it’s the .entry-title one. So, at the bottom of the theme’s style.css after the @import lines add:

    .entry-title {
	font-size: (whatever)px;
}

    Thanks, Mark. It worked. I added the entire code to Custom CSS provided by the Jetpack plugin and reduced the font size to 20px. It looks much better – the same size as the title size on the pages.

    Tara, I posted this problem here because the theme’s developer did not respond. Expound is a free theme, not commercial and as such does not provide support. You can only email or tweet the developer. Anyhow, Mark found the relevant CSS code that I failed to find using the Firefox Firebug add-on.
