    Hello….this is the first time I’ve ever posted, and honestly, just figuring out how to customize and use my wordpress site. I’ve searched high and low in this forum for an answer, but no answers I’ve found seem to apply to my site/theme.

    I want to change the font size of the navigation menu on the left of my site. my site is http://blog.mattcphotography.com

    Any help is appreciated. This is I’m sure pretty easy for most, but I’m getting really pissed trying to figure it out.

    thanks for any help.

    In your child theme have you tried:

    #toggle-wrap li {
     font-size: 16px;
}

    This is really naive I’m sure. But I don’t know where my child theme is located, or if my site has one. I have researched them and aware of how they work (in general), but not sure where it’s located or how to change the child theme.

    The most basic child theme is one folder and one stylesheet I believe. So next to the folder that contains the files to your current theme, you can create a new folder with a different name ( something like “parent-theme-child” or “mcphotography” perhaps ) and inside that folder create a new style.css with the following lines on top:

    /*
 Theme Name:  Your Theme Name
 Template: twentyfourteen
*/

@import url("../twentyfourteen/style.css");

    replace twentyfourteen with the name of the parent theme.

    the @import brings the parent themes styles into your child theme, then below that you can add your own code.

    If all goes well you should be able to select your child theme in appearances>themes
