Title: Change title size Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # Change title size * [davidjeske](https://wordpress.org/support/users/davidjeske/) * (@davidjeske) * [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/change-title-size/) * I am trying to change the size of the title text. I have read through the code( to the best of my limited ability) and cannot figure out what to do. I tried changing the rem text size for h1, but it didn’t do anything. I am new to code, so I might have just missed something. Please help. I also want to change the text size of the sidebar widget headings, but nothing seems to work. I couldn’t find a plugin that did what I wanted either. Please let me know if you have any ideas Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 21 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/change-title-size/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/change-title-size/page/2/?output_format=md) * [ellp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ellp/) * (@ellp) * [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/change-title-size/#post-5046132) * Hello! * Can you send your site URL? * Thanks! * [esmi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/esmi/) * (@esmi) * [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/change-title-size/#post-5046135) * Do not edit the theme itself. First [create a child theme for your changes](http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes). Or install a [custom CSS plugin](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/search.php?q=custom+css). * Thread Starter [davidjeske](https://wordpress.org/support/users/davidjeske/) * (@davidjeske) * [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/change-title-size/#post-5046138) * its blog.bluesprucetools.com[](http://blog.bluesprucetools.com) * Thread Starter [davidjeske](https://wordpress.org/support/users/davidjeske/) * (@davidjeske) * [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/change-title-size/#post-5046150) * I don’t know how to create CSS code, so if someone could figure some out for me I would be very thankful! I know how to add it in 🙂 * [ellp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ellp/) * (@ellp) * [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/change-title-size/#post-5046298) * Hello again! * Well, you need to install this plugin first: * [http://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-custom-css/](http://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-custom-css/) * After that, past this code and modify the size as you need: * ``` .h2.entry-title.font-headlines{ font-size:30px //change 30px to value you need } .h3.widget-title.font-headlines{ font-size:20px //change 20px to value you need } ``` * Let me know if it helps 🙂 * [mashedspuds](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tonyfrost/) * (@tonyfrost) * [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/change-title-size/#post-5046363) * That code didn’t work, I’m afraid. * My title is here: * [http://shootingstargigs.com/](http://shootingstargigs.com/) * Also, can I disable the H1 title ‘Home’ on the home page only? * [ellp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ellp/) * (@ellp) * [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/change-title-size/#post-5046364) * Hello, * To hide the h1 on the home only you can use this code: * ``` body.home h1.entry-title.font-headlines{ display:none; } ``` * Sorry, my mistake. There are an extra point in the code… Replace with this one: * ``` h2.entry-title.font-headlines{ font-size:30px //change 30px to value you need } h3.widget-title.font-headlines{ font-size:20px //change 20px to value you need } ``` * Thread Starter [davidjeske](https://wordpress.org/support/users/davidjeske/) * (@davidjeske) * [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/change-title-size/#post-5046368) * [@ellp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ellp/) Thank you for writing that code for me. I downloaded the simple custom css plugin, but the code didn’t change anything. I even adjusted the font size to big numbers and super small numbers to see if maybe I just couldn’t tell, but nothing changed. Any suggestions? * [ellp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ellp/) * (@ellp) * [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/change-title-size/#post-5046369) * First.

Am I doing something wrong? I am putting it in the custom css plugin. * [ellp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ellp/) * (@ellp) * [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/change-title-size/#post-5046373) * Hello David. * For sure is something wrong. But is hard to tell what is going on without see what you did. There are some other custom code in the plugin? If so, save the code on text file on your desktop and paste only the code I provide and see what happens. * [mashedspuds](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tonyfrost/) * (@tonyfrost) * [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/change-title-size/#post-5046374) * Do you have cache plugin, even cache function for the WordFence plugin? Try a hard refresh. * [mashedspuds](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tonyfrost/) * (@tonyfrost) * [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/change-title-size/#post-5046375) * Thank you for the CSS that hides the title for the home page! * Like David, the CSS won’t affect the H1 font size (despite hard refresh). But I found this worked: * ``` h1.entry-title.font-headlines{ font-size:20px } ``` * Ellp used H2 (a genuine mistake I suspect!) in a code snippet: * ``` h2.entry-title.font-headlines{ font-size:20px } ``` Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 21 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/change-title-size/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/change-title-size/page/2/?output_format=md) The topic ‘Change title size’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://i0.wp.com/themes.svn.wordpress.org/stargazer/4.0.0/screenshot.png) * Stargazer * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/theme/stargazer/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/theme/stargazer/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/theme/stargazer/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/theme/stargazer/reviews/) ## Tags * [rem](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/rem/) * [size](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/size/) * [text](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/text/) * [title](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/title/) * 21 replies * 4 participants * Last reply from: [ellp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ellp/) * Last activity: [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/change-title-size/page/2/#post-5046384) * Status: not resolved
