Font size is set by the CSS code — changing the PHP files won’t necessarily change the sizes. Firebug is a great tool to see what CSS code is determining the appearance of elements on the page. What theme are you using? Make sure you are using a child theme if you are making any changes (you already did) to the core files.
many thanks for this.
I’ll look into firebug tomorrow. Is the lite version good enough or do I need to use the firefox browser?
Yes, I am using a child theme
Never heard of the “lite” version — I’d definitely use FF. What browser are you using?
chrome and IS but I can add another!
Chrome evidently has developer tools similar to Firefox (firebug) — but I’ve not used it. Firefox is great in my experience…so I’m partial to it — and Firebug is really easy to use and very useful. Download them and see what you think.
IE is good to check sites there — only because it’s still so widely used, but don’t use for developing websites as it has various quirks/problems.
If you want specific help on the font sizes on your site, post a link to it and someone can assist you.
Many thanks for the assistance
Firebug helped me solve the font issue
