Hey CrouchingBruin,

Thanks for the reply. I guess I should have elaborated. I have created a child theme already and yes that is where I am making my changes. I have been using firebug to locate the code and making the appropriate changes in the child theme. It has been working great for most of the changes but I cannot locate the code to change the font size site wide including the main menu (other than the homepage, there are blocks set up on the homepage with different size fonts and those pulled up right away and was able to make changes) but on the rest of the pages throughout the site, firebug is only showing font style and color, I cant locate the font size for some reason. Same with the font hover color for hyperlinks and the button hover colors. Ive scrolled through style.css to see if I locate the code but dont see it.

What I mean by the html editor was since I couldnt find the font size in firebug or style.css I could just change the font size in the editor but those are not ideal size options and do not help me with the button hover color and header sizes either so it was just a less than ideal solution.

Im looking at the tutorial you linked to… so if I want to change the body and header font size site wide (excluding homepage) then all I need to do is paste this code in the child theme’s style.css, change to the size I want instead, and it will override the current font size? I dont actually need to locate the code myself in the parent theme? I was under there impression that each theme was coded a little differently so I needed to find the exact code for the theme im using.

h1 {
font-size: 40px;
}

h2 {
font-size: 30px;
}

p {
font-size: 14px;
}

Thank you very much for the help!!

Awesome, that took care of both the side bar and the button. Thanks a lot Bojan!!

haha… I tried to use the block quotes, fail!

Oh wait, Im a little confused… so to enqueue editor-style.css, do I need to add the entire snippet of code like I did for the style.css

add_action( ‘wp_enqueue_scripts’, ‘theme_enqueue_styles’ );
function theme_enqueue_styles() {
wp_enqueue_style( ‘parent-style’, get_template_directory_uri() . ‘/style.css’ );
wp_enqueue_style( ‘child-style’, get_stylesheet_uri(), array( ‘parent-style’ ) );
}

and replace

wp_enqueue_style( ‘parent-style’, get_template_directory_uri() . ‘/style.css’ );

with

wp_enqueue_style( ‘parent-style’, get_template_directory_uri() . ‘/editor-style.css’ );

directly underneath the style.css enqueue snippet on the .php?

And then just to clarify, for any .php file I want to edit, i need to make a new identical file in the child theme, copy and paste the entire code over and make my changes there or just the snippets of code I am wanting to change? Thanks again! Sorry for additional questions. So simple yet so foreign when you have never done it before 🙂

Update: So several hours later the pages I created started appearing in the child theme, and then a couple more hours later the main menu & page header images started appearing. The changes I had made in the theme’s customizer did not appear though, I had to go in there and redo those. I am assuming that is because I did not create a customizer.php file in the child theme?? Not sure why the pages and menu started showing up in increments several hours apart though, odd! I even cleared my cache immediately after creating the child theme and that did not seem to help…

There are several other .php files I will be making edits to in the near future, eg: the footer.php, frontpage.php, image.php etc… and possibly another .css file (editor-style.css). If I understand correctly, all changes I will be making to these files I will be entered into the child theme’s function.php file, correct? But before I do that, I need to create files in the child theme for each of the files I am editing and on top of that, in the functions.php file I need to enqueue them, correct?

If thats the case, what enqueue code do I need to enter into the functions.php file? The same code I used for the style.css file or will it vary depending on each file? I am brand new to wordpress and although I understand the concept of the child theme and enqueue code, I am clueless as to what exactly I need to add for each extra file.

I would also like to create files for individual page changes as well so I can make changes to any particular page instead of site wide. How would I go about doing that?

Thanks so much in advance for you help!
