Decreasing the font size?

Thanks for reaching out Donna. As long as you’re using WordPress 4.7, you can change the font size by adding some custom CSS within the customizer. Take a look at Method 1 of https://www.wpbeginner.com/plugins/how-to-easily-add-custom-css-to-your-wordpress-site/ for details on how to do this.

The CSS you’ll need will look something like this:

.board-member h3 {
  font-size: 15px;
}

You can change the font-size to whatever number you’d like to make it smaller or larger.

Let me know how that works for you.

Hi Jonathan, thank you for the wonderful link on how to work with this new feature in 4.7. It worked for changing the list of names for the board members but not for the Title. The title is header 1 and I changed your code from h3 to h1 and it still remains huge! Here is a screenshot of what I am referring to. https://www.sandowngardenclub.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Screen-Shot-2017-01-04-at-7.49.56-AM.png

Hi Donna,

The h1 you’re referring to is actually the page title used by your theme. You can see the same h1 being used at the same size on https://www.sandowngardenclub.org/about/ and https://www.sandowngardenclub.org/services/. A lot of themes now are using large page title headings like those so it’s easy for the user to see where they are on a site. While I wouldn’t recommend making it smaller across the board, you could adjust it with this CSS:

h1.page-title {
  font-size: 15px;
}

It’s worth noting too that your theme uses different font sizes based on the width of the screen (phones, tablets, computers, etc.). If you set the font size using the code above you’ll be setting it on every device size which may not be the best approach.

Yes, your code worked but prior to this I did some detective work and tried the below code which also worked. You are the most responsive forum moderator I know!! Thank you.

Can you tell me how to reduce the line spacing between the board members? Maybe I’ll figure it out before your respond. If so, I will post back.

.page-title {
font-size: 26px;
}

I just love this new CSS feature in WordPress.

Hi, I have decided to deactivate the plugin because it won’t list the committees separately therefore it is not necessary to answer the last question and you can close this topic.

Thanks for letting me know Donna. Good luck with the website!
