How to find font element to edit in css WordPress

  • SOLVED

Hi Guys

This is a basic question about changing the font size.

I cannot find the correct body font element in the css file to edit. When I look at the paragraph with Firebug I see the the font is declared in the body class within the page source (which is strange)

Where do i find this html to edit it? I have looked at all the php files in the editor but no joy

Here's a quick video to explain

I hope that makes sense :)

the css inline is probably add by a jquery script

Steve Watson comments:

Yes i'm using the Chrome equivelent to Firebug but do not understand what I am seeing, hence the question...

Sébastien | French WordpressDesigner comments:

I see "data-twttr-rendered" on body
you have probably a jquery adding a css inline on your BODY
maybe a jquery twitter script

Sébastien | French WordpressDesigner comments:

you can add this in your css

body[style] {
font-size: 14px !important;
}

Hello Steve,

Check your theme settings, hope you can find an option to change font size in theme settings.

Hariprasad Vijayan comments:

Did you find an option in theme settings to change font size? "intrepidity" them have an option for changing font size in theme settings you can change it from there. Or still need to over ride css?

Let me know if you need any help in it.

Hi Steve,
It seems its creating dynamic or it is statistic given in header.php.
Please double check it.
also you can give the code depends on your choice.
for eg :
body {
font-size:14px !important;
}

the important will overwrite the new style css.

You can change for example the rule for .entry_content


.entry_content{
text-size:13px;
}

.entry_content p{

To change that text add font-size:your size here:

.entry_content {
clear: both;
font-size: your size (ex. 12px)
margin: 0 0 0 84px;
}

Hi Steve,

I went through your screencast, I found, That you are using intrepidity theme. In this theme, In header.php you can see below code:
$body_css .= (get_option('tbf1_font_size')) ? 'font-size:'.get_option('tbf1_font_size'). ';' : ''; here you can change it to
$body_css .= (get_option('tbf1_font_size')) ? 'font-size:13px;' : '';

Please review and let me know if you were looking for anything else.

Thanks.

Ryan S answers:

I've check your video and here's what I can suggest, add this code into your theme style.css file


.entry_content p{ font-size: 16px; } // you can play the font-size to suit your need


If the above code didn't work, just simply add !important rules

.entry_content p{ font-size: 16px !important; } // more info can be found here http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/cascade.html#important-rules



See screenshot attached

.entry_content {font-size: 14px;clear: both;margin: 0 0 0 84px;}

OR

p {

font-size: make your font size (ex. 14px) !important;

}
