how to change font size

  • The description on the site says you can change font size…but I cannot find that feature any where.

    When I post, the font for the titles (headline) is at least 48 — it’s massive and blinding and I’d like to make that smaller.

    Also, when you read a post, it displays the category archives (in large bold text), the post title (in same large bold font), then the archives again (in neat little blue folder / text format). That’s a lot of unnecessary text. Here is a link to see:

    How can I eliminate the first category listing of “category archives: news and events” as well as decrease the font size?

    Thanks ahead of time to anyone who can help!

  • To remove the first category listing, add this code to the bottom of your style.css file:

    h1.archive-title {
display: none;
}

h1.entry-title {
font-size: .825em;
text-align: center;
display: block;
}

    Does that help at all? Please advise

    Hi David, that’s a good reply. ?? But can you please refrain from the signature? That’s frowned upon in these forums.

    I love the simple solution you offered — thank you — however, before I insert your code in style.css file, I must tell you that that page is completely blank. Jolene is set up in sections only for editing, for example, 404-template, author template, comments php., BUT — there is a theme functions (functions.php). Do you think it would work at the end of this page?

    My apologies for the reservation, but I recently experienced the white screen of death from inserting wrong code / wrong place.

    Also, if you have any advice on how I may be able to change the font size. I went through the functions.php looking for it, but no luck. Maybe I missed it…

    Ah! I also forgot: do not add that code to your theme’s style.css file. Use a custom CSS plugin or create and activate a child theme.

    If you do modify the theme’s style.css then you will lose you changes when the theme is updated.

    Try undoing your changes and see if the site comes back.
