User Font Re-sizing

  • OK, I’ve searched Google and WP but can’t seem to find a plugin, if it exists, that’s allows users to change the font-size of a WordPress blog.

    i.e. Two A’s (A A) of different sizes appear at the top of an article which is common on many news sites (Wall Street Journal has this).

    Maybe there isn’t a plugin in but you may need to add code.

    Any constructive answers would be greatly appreciated as I continue my research.

    I might add I’m not looking for a sidebar widget as the particular theme I’m using does not accommodate widgets. I example above is primarily what I’m seeking.

    Thanks,

    Don

    Thanks for the link but unless my mind leaked out of my head there is no link to the plugin and it also seems you must use the author/developers themes with said plugin.

    I search his specific title and Devolux in WordPress to no avail.

    It’s unusual for a developer to discuss a plugin but not supply a link to it.

    Drilling down into comment we find this:

    Nicole: Hi!

    I love this text resizer…I can′t seem to find the download link for this particular plugin on your site. Is it still available?

    Yes, it is. But it’s not working too well, so I suggest that you download my theme and take all necessary files from there.

    They didn’t really write a workable plugin but want you to use their theme.

    As I wrote in my first post, I have a theme I don’t wish to change. Therefore, I will keep searching.

    Thanks for you help.

    Try this one small plugin – if you familiar with basics of php or html code, you can change the way it looks. Basically it adds + and – buttons over content part.

    Or also try this one, but read notes:

    The first link is “untrusted” as it doesn’t lead to a site in English that would explain what exactly your downloading. This is an invitation to a huge potential virus.

    The second one would not unpack.

    Thanks for your help.

    Note:

    To anyone attempting to answer my original question – please recommend only WordPress plugins that you have tested or use currently and prove to be reliable.

    Thanks again.

    javaman1 – First link is ok to dl, it has only 1 php file inside the zip archive – it’s ukrainian site, and it doesn’t mean that it’s untrusted (I’m from UA too).

    To answer your original question – I doubt you will find a PLUGIN for that, because you can write it by your own using 2-3 lines of code with jQuery help.

    I’m not interested in experimenting with the feature myself, and trial and error is part of the process. I just thought I would demonstrate the search function.

    Returns 1 and 2 seem on point. Certainly worth investigation. At least it may give you an idea what you’re searching for – widget or not.

    Interesting tutorial here, if you’re up to a little coding (due to your lack of widget accommodation): https://www.bloggermint.com/2011/08/how-to-add-instant-font-resizer/

    I understand “trial and error” I’ve been at it for years.

    Also, I don’t care of a plugin comes from Tim Buck Two I’m not downloading it if it’s not listed on WPs plugin area as a precaution. I’m certainly not prejudice concerning the Ukraine or anywhere else.

    I will not take a look at Clayton’s offerings and get back to this post.

    Thanks again.
