Post title size.

If you look at the HTML source code you’ll see that your sticky post has a class of sticky. So you can use:

.sticky entry-title {
font-size: 30px !important;
}

instead and that will make only that title bigger.

Hello, thank you so much but after adding the code to css, nothing changed. I reduced the px down and there was a change, so the code seems to change the font size but still on all post titles?

Am Ilooking in the wrong place?

First make sure you have a valid Child Theme.

Look at step 3.
You need to import the styles over.

I double checked and I do have a valid child theme.

Why aren’t you importing the styles over?

Edit: Oh you are, but why have you got that massive stylesheet? What’s going on?

I am not sure what you mean, sorry. Oh, I think you mean there is so much in it. When I first got the child theme up and running, I was advised to copy and paste the parent style.css into it to make changes to rather than keep adding code, apparently saving time? I am a complete novice but thanks to this forum, I am gradually learning. So please excuse me if I’ve messed up big time?! In regards to importing themes over, I thought I had?

Sorry, you have been misled.

You’re using a browser developer tool, like Firebug, right? That exposes the CSS for you and then you write new CSS to override what has been exposed in the developer tool.

You shouldn’t be editing the theme’s originating styles, they shouldn’t even be in your Child Theme.

Keeping the original styles in your Child Theme means:
– You have a hard time debugging CSS; it’s harder to differentiate between CSS you’ve made and CSS that originally resides in the theme.
– You’re duplicating code.
– There’s more chance for your styles not to work, because of the duplication of code in combination with CSS specificity.

Thank you. I am abit lost. Should I start afresh with a clean css?

I’ve noticed I’m being particularly harsh tonight, don’t take this personally if you are.

Should I start afresh with a clean css?

I don’t know, it depends on how much modifications you’ve made to your Child Theme’s stylesheet. I don’t want you to undo all your hard work.

Yes, I use Firebug. So I’m thinking delete the parent css and just add changes. Luckily I know what changes I made and code I added so if you agree I start afresh, it will not be difficult.

By starting afresh, I just mean deleting all the code underneath your @import line in the CSS. You leave your CSS modifications though.

Once I have done that, is there an answer to my problem with making my first post title font larger than all other post titles?

Ok I will do that.
