Font size option on toolbar has disappeared

  • Hi,

    Until very recently I could easily change the font size of the text in the blog I’m publishing from the toolbar. The other options still seem to be on the toolbar. Please can someone advise me on how I can get it back?

    Here is a link to a screenshot of the issue: https://www.caratsdirect2u.com/v/Banners/Wordpress.bmp
    Thank you in advance for your help.

  • Probably the plugin you were using to change the font size has been disabled. Try enabling it back.

    If you need more features in your WYSIWYG editor, then consider installing one of these:

    WPgeeks,

    Thanks. I have just installed Visual Editor Font Size version 0.2 to my WordPress (4.1). I still don’t see the option to change font on the write screen. Any advice?

    Thanks,

    Hi Eliot,

    The Visual Editor Font Size Plugin just lets you change the font size in the visual editor. As quoted by the plugin author himself –

    This setting doesn’t affect the font size your users will see. It affects only you.

    We installed the Plugin, and we too don’t see any option to change the font. It is because

    • It has to be enabled by clicking on Screen Options.
    • Then as shown in this screenshot, (you will need to scroll down a bit) you will find the highlighted section.
    • So, now you will be able to increase or decrease the font size for your own viewing inside the WYSIWYG editor. That’s all the plugin does.

    So, we guess, there’s some misunderstanding here. What exactly are you trying to accomplish?

    • Change font size for yourself in the visual editor (that is what the plugin you installed – Visual Editor Font Size – does.)
    • Change font for the front-end of your website so that site viewers can see it

    If you’re trying to accomplish the latter, then as we said before, please try using one of these.

    Thank you WPgeeks.

    I did in fact mean the latter, that I want to be able to edit the font in the front end.

    So I added Advanced TinyMCE Visual Editor and then, as i couldn’t see an option for editing font size, I added Font Size Editor and I still can’t see it.

    Any advice?

    Thanks

    Okay, noted.

    • Hoping that you have installed TinyMCE plugin and activated it correctly.
    • Do you atleast see these options (Screenshot 1)? If yes, then TinyMCE is installed and activated correctly.
    • The Font Size and Font Family options have to be added via settings.
    • Go to Settings > TinyMCE Advanced > Drag & Drop them
    • Here’s how: Screenshot 2 > Screenshot 3
    • Then in the editor, you’ll see it like this (Screenshot 4).

    PS – If all this didn’t help, then please upload snapshots of what you see or any errors you experience.

    I cannot see in the menu font or font sizes. Do we need a plugins to have fonts and font sizes. wouldn’t it be standard in the menu?
    Thanks.
