 * There are two WordPress Origin themes. One is free [http://wordpress.org/themes/origin](http://wordpress.org/themes/origin),
   and second one is commercial from elegant theme. For which theme you want to 
   increase menu font size?

 * You need to post a link to your site for help with CSS questions.

 * If your theme doesn’t have Custom CSS as an option, you can add it using a plugin
   like JetPack or Custom CSS Manager. Then add this to the new custom CSS area:
 *     ```
       #menu-primary {
           font-size: 1em;
       }
       ```
   
 * Increase the 1 to whatever you like.

 * Thank you so much… It worked. Would like to ask you a question if you don’t mind.
   Why is it not possible to make that change from the theme’s css. Coz when I tried
   to change it from there nothing happened

 * I don’t know – that should theoretically work – maybe you made a mistake in it
   or it was overridden by other CSS. BUT you should NEVER modify theme files – 
   as your changes will be lost when the theme is updated. So now you’re good to
   go and won’t have a big mess when you update the theme :).
