    Hi,

    I cant’t figure out how to change the font size on posts, page content etc. I tried changing this under /* =Global:

    textarea {
    	color: #404040;
    	font-family: 'Lora', arial, sans-serif;
    	font-size: 50px; /* pixels are needed for IE 8 and lower :( */
    	font-size: 5.0rem; /* Snooka explains font resizing using rem - http://snook.ca/archives/html_and_css/font-size-with-rem */
    	line-height: 1.6;
    }

    Previously font-size was 16px and 1.6rem but changing it to 50/5.0 changed nothing.

    I hope someone can help 🙂

    Are you using a Child Theme or Custom CSS/Styles plugin?

    Not using any custom CSS/Styles plugin but I am using the theme style called Green if that’s what you mean with Child Theme (I’m new to WordPress and this is my first website). I did check green.css though and there was nothing in it about fonts.

    Once you find the CSS modification to resolve your issue, implement it within a Child Theme‘s stylesheet, or a Custom CSS Manager plugin. Otherwise you’re likely to lose your changes once the theme updates.

    Okay thank you I will. I just need to solve the issue first though 🙂

    I got it resolved by changing font-size under /* Reset from 100% to 100%. I think I’ll just not update my theme though. Unfortunately I’ve done a lot of modifications already.

    At some point that will likely become problematic — as you may run into security or compatibility issues as WP evolves. So not a good approach in the long run.

    I see. I guess I will procrastinate it then lol.

    Thanks for the help guys! 🙂
