Increase font size in posts & navigation link color

    I just downloaded the Poet (Author child-theme) and am really loving all of the customizability it offers – however, I’d like to adjust the font sizes, specifically for the posts, and I’m not sure what custom CSS to enter to do this.

    I managed the widget font size just fine, thanks to the CSS snippets, but I couldn’t find anything to adjust the font size within posts. How do I do this?

    Also, I wanted to adjust the behavior of the navigation menu, and I couldn’t figure out what custom CSS to enter so that an active link would look one way, a hover link looks another way, and a link looks another way. The settings in the Customizer don’t seem to offer different effects other than general link color.

    I thought the custom CSS to enter was this:

    .menu-primary a:hover, .menu-primary a:active, .menu-primary a:focus {
  color: #F06E2E;
}

    … but that doesn’t seem to do anything. Help!

    Thanks for using Poet!

    Here’s the CSS you can use to change the font size within the Post content:

    .post-content {
  font-size: 18px;
}

    If you want to style the link based on its different states, you can separate out each of the three selectors like this:

    #menu-primary a:hover {
  color: #F06E2E;
}
#menu-primary a:active {
  color: #F06E2E;
}
#menu-primary a:focus {
  color: #F06E2E;
}

    That said, the active state will only be visible for split-second between the hover and focus states, so you may want to just combine it with the :hover selector.

    P.S. If you’re happy with Author, would you mind taking a minute to leave a review (review page)?
