When you make a post which solicits comments, you have an opportunity to make the text bold, italicize it, center it, etc., but there seems not to be an option to change the font size. Does anyone know if it is possible to make the font larger or smaller? It may not be possible. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [How to change one’s User Name](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-change-ones-user-name/) * Thread Starter [george2](https://wordpress.org/support/users/george2/) * (@george2) * [16 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-change-ones-user-name/#post-1417073) * Thank you SS_Minnow and Shane G. for your suggestions.

I think that I understand why: the explanation is below. When I log in as the fictitious user, there is a window for comments over which is states: “ Logged in as Mr. X.” This indicates that the WordPress software recognizes the user as being registered. * It seems there are three possibilities: * 1/ The person who logs in is an Admin. The Admin is recognized immediately “through his IP Address alone” since it is not necessary to log in to the operational website. * 2/ The person who logs in is already a registered user (as in the case of the fictitious user that I just created). In this case, the boxes for registering are not shown and the user is recognized through his IP Address. * 3/ The person who logs in is not a registered user and is not an Admin. In this case, presumably, a different format would appear that would request that this unregistered user give his name and email address before he can make a comment. In order to test this hypothesis, I would have to go to my operational website on a different computer since, when I use my own computer, my operational website recognizes that I am an Admin though my IP Address. * Since this is my first website and my first use of a blog, I’m sure that I’ll have more questions. I greatly appreciate the knowledgeable people who respond to our questions. * Forum: [Installing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/installation/) In reply to: [When I click on Link to WordPress, the wrong format appears](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/when-i-click-on-link-to-wordpress-the-wrong-format-appears/) * Thread Starter [george2](https://wordpress.org/support/users/george2/) * (@george2) * [16 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/when-i-click-on-link-to-wordpress-the-wrong-format-appears/#post-1410953) * Thanks for the step-by-step instructions. I don’t have time to try this tonight, but I’ll try it tomorrow and post my results. * Forum: [Installing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/installation/) In reply to: [When I click on Link to WordPress, the wrong format appears](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/when-i-click-on-link-to-wordpress-the-wrong-format-appears/) * Thread Starter [george2](https://wordpress.org/support/users/george2/) * (@george2) * [16 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/when-i-click-on-link-to-wordpress-the-wrong-format-appears/#post-1410951) * Samboll: You write: “If you want to test – create a test user that is only a subscriber – log out – log in as test subscriber” * However, when I go to my operational website, I do not have to log in, and I don’t log out. Since I deleted all of the cookies, when I go to my operational website, the website doesn’t know who I am. Or does it? Am I identified through my IP Address every time I go to my operational website? It seems that whether I am identified through my IP Address or not that I should still get the format that any visitor would get. * I would like to carry out your suggestion, Samboll, if it is possible; however, under theses circumstances, how do I create a “test user” since I don’t log into my operational website? * Would I have to use another computer as a test in order to see what type of format appears there? * Forum: [Installing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/installation/) In reply to: [When I click on Link to WordPress, the wrong format appears](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/when-i-click-on-link-to-wordpress-the-wrong-format-appears/) * Thread Starter [george2](https://wordpress.org/support/users/george2/) * (@george2) * [16 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/when-i-click-on-link-to-wordpress-the-wrong-format-appears/#post-1410946) * When I visit my website, I do not log in; I just go to the URL. When I go to the admin website, I log in. [http://mydomain/Blog/wp-admin/] I have to use a user ID and a password to gain access to the admin website; I do not have to use a user ID or a password to bring up the operational website. * It’s when I bring up the operational website and click on the link that I created:“ leave comment,” that the format that requires the visitor to give a name and an email address does not appear. * I tried deleting all cookies, but I still get the same format when I bring up the operataion website and click on “leave comment.” * Forum: [Installing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/installation/) In reply to: [When I click on Link to WordPress, the wrong format appears](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/when-i-click-on-link-to-wordpress-the-wrong-format-appears/) * Thread Starter [george2](https://wordpress.org/support/users/george2/) * (@george2) * [16 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/when-i-click-on-link-to-wordpress-the-wrong-format-appears/#post-1410936) * Yes. That box was checked when I first went to it, and I left it checked. * Forum: [Installing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/installation/) In reply to: [When I click on Link to WordPress, the wrong format appears](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/when-i-click-on-link-to-wordpress-the-wrong-format-appears/) * Thread Starter [george2](https://wordpress.org/support/users/george2/) * (@george2) * [16 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/when-i-click-on-link-to-wordpress-the-wrong-format-appears/#post-1410930) * Yes, that is correct. I just installed WordPress to my website two days ago, and since it’s a new website, no one besides me has logged onto it yet. (I don’t think.) But, right after I installed WordPress, when you clicked on “leave comments,” you were required to type in a name and an email address before you typed in your comment. Now, what appears is a format that begins with a post from me to which visitors can add comments. However, it seems that they might also be able to edit my post. * I’ve checked all over the WordPress links on the left-hand side of the admin page, and none of them addresses the possibility of changing the format. * Forum: [Installing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/installation/) In reply to: [When I click on Link to WordPress, the wrong format appears](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/when-i-click-on-link-to-wordpress-the-wrong-format-appears/) * Thread Starter [george2](https://wordpress.org/support/users/george2/) * (@george2) * [16 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/when-i-click-on-link-to-wordpress-the-wrong-format-appears/#post-1410916) * I still have not been able to find the correct format. * Can someone tell me how to display the format which asks for the visitor’s name and email address when they click on the blog link on my website? Below the boxes for the visitor’s name and email address there is a box for their comment. * The format that now appears features a “post,” and visitors are able to comment on the post. * Forum: [Installing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/installation/) In reply to: [When I click on Link to WordPress, the wrong format appears](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/when-i-click-on-link-to-wordpress-the-wrong-format-appears/) * Thread Starter [george2](https://wordpress.org/support/users/george2/) * (@george2) * [16 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/when-i-click-on-link-to-wordpress-the-wrong-format-appears/#post-1410867) * Thank you for the response Micah Cooksey. I went to the settings section (Settings > Discussion) for the first time since I installed WordPress. The setting “Users must be registered and logged in to comment” was not checked – so I checked it. But there was no change in the format that appears. * Forum: [Installing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/installation/) In reply to: [Unzipping WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/unzipping-wordpress-1/) * Thread Starter [george2](https://wordpress.org/support/users/george2/) * (@george2) * [16 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/unzipping-wordpress-1/#post-1408381) * Thank you samboll and Clayton James for your information.

I have now re-installed it in a sub-directory( blog), and this aspect of my website and blog is now functioning well. Thank you, Clayton James for your input: it helped me to realize that I had to install WordPress in a sub-directory.
