Site Title and Tagline Font Sizes

    I’m trying to change the size of my site title and tagline fonts. Right now they’re coming up as smaller than my heading sizes, and every time I play with the font sizes, the headings become HUGE and the site title stays small. I’ve searched through tons of forums but I can’t find any codes that work.

    I’m also trying to get the menu bar to stay instead of having to press that three-lined button to get it to appear.

    I’m using the Circa theme.

    (I’m pretty basic with this stuff FYI.)

    There are many tools available for this kind of CSS work, for example:
    – Firefox with Firebug add-on: Help info on Firebug https://getfirebug.com/faq/
    – Newer IE/Chrome, etc., have similar tools
    – Also, check out Custom CSS Manager plugin: http://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-css-manager-plugin/
    – Alternately, try a dedicated CSS resource such as http://www.css-discuss.org/

    you need to change the css for the h1.site-title element and the h2.site-description element in the style.css file for your theme. (you should also be doing this in a child theme!)

    I’m not sure what a child theme is or how to create one.

    have a read of this: https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes and some of these articles: http://www.wpbeginner.com/?s=child+theme

    if you’re going to do any theme customisation you really need to use a child theme so that when the parent theme (ie the one you’ve already got active on your site at the moment) you won’t lose your changes…

    This seems like an insane amount of effort just to find a code to change the font sizes. Is it really necessary? I just want something I can paste into the CSS area under Customize. Every code I’ve found is from over a year ago and they aren’t working on my site.

    if you’re only going to change the heading and tagline sizes using the theme’s own customisation options then just use the tags in my earlier post

    h1.site-title
{  font-size: add your font size here; }

h2.site-description
{ font-size: add your font size here; }
