* I tried to change the font size of the tweet by placing this:
* div.rotatingtweet p.rtw_main {
font-size: 24px }
* in rotatingtweets-sample.css and then updating the file and then saving it as
rotatingtweets.css on my laptop and finaly uploading it on wp-content/upload
in my cpanel.
* Unfortunately it doesnt do anything. Shouldnt it change my font size?
* Can you please let me know what could be the problem?

* Update: I played around and found out that when i upload the page the font size
quadruples, but if I am just preview changes the font size remains the same.
Any idea why?

* This may be something to do with caching.
* When you look at the source code for your page, do you see a line like:
* ```
```
* somewhere?

* Yes, here is the line:

* Is it because of the W3 Total Cache Plugin ?
* Anyway to fix it ?

* This is the ‘standard’ CSS for Rotating Tweets and not your bespoke CSS.
* I’ve just had a look for [http://www.kohinoorrice.com/wp-content/uploads/rotatingtweets.css](http://www.kohinoorrice.com/wp-content/uploads/rotatingtweets.css)
and it doesn’t seem to be there.
* Has it uploaded successfully?

* I have not uploaded it yet. Its in my drafts still.
* I have uploaded it now. Please have a look. The font size has increased on its
own.

* I removed the css from wp-content/uploads just to check if it has an effect.
It didnt have any effect. It made the rotating tweet font increase in size (like
you can see now).
* when I use the following code in the draft it and preview it, the rotating tweets
works perfectly but as soon as I publish it, the font size dramtically increases.
* [rotatingtweets screen_name=’KohinoorRice’ official_format=’0′ rotation_type=’
carousel’ carousel_horizontal=’1′ carousel_count=’2′ show_meta_reply_retweet_favorite
=’1′ show_meta_prev_next=’1′ np_pos=’top’,bottom’ show_follow=’1′ no_show_count
=’1′]
* I tried to decrease the size using the css file in the wp-content/uploads and
unfortunately it didnt work.
* I hope I was able to convey my message properly this time.

* What changes did you make? What was the CSS you put in `rotatingtweets.css`?

* I tried to change the font and color. It mal-functioned so I removed the rotating
tweets plugin and the re installed it again. This time I didnt put any CSS in
the rotatintweets.css, I just plugged in the code mentioned above above and previewed
the page. The preview was fine, it was doing what it was suppose to do, however
as sooon as I published it, the font size increased dramtically. The rotating
rotating tweet plugin was then covering almost the whole page.
* Is this has got soemthing to do with the W3 Total Cache plugin I am using ?

* I use W3 Total Cache and don’t have the same problem. You have a lot of plug-
ins adding CSS to the page. What happens if you reload the page? And/or temporarily
switch off W3 Total Cache and look at the published page.
* If you look at the page inspector (`[CTRL]+[SHIFT]+I`), which bit of CSS is making
the font so big?

* I deactivated the W3 Total Cache plugin. I tried reloading the page and/or also
temporarily switching off W3 Total Cache to no benefit. I have uploaded the rotating
tweets plugin now. Have a look. Will take it down soon.

* I don’t think I managed to see it before you took it down. Sorry about that.
