Do you want to change the font size in
your WordPress posts or pages? Well keep
watching. In this video I'll show you
three methods you can use to change your
font size in WordPress. Method one is
probably the easiest way to do it and
it's by changing the paragraph headings
on your posts or pages. To show you what
I mean let's head over to our WordPress
dashboard, we'll go to posts, all posts I
want to edit a post that we're working
on so we'll do the hello world and from
here you see paragraph. If I want to
change any of this I can simply click on
the paragraph and decide which one I
want to use like that. Now these sizes
are controlled by your theme's style
sheet so just know that if you have a
different theme it might look a little
different here but that's a real quick
way to change up the font size like that.
Now if you want a little bit more
control over the font sizes and the text
formatting then you'll want to install
the TinyMCE Advanced plugin. To do that
we'll head over to our plugins area
let's click add new and in the search
box we're looking for TinyMCE. This is
the one we want so let's go ahead and
install that now and once you install it
you'll need to click activate as well.
Now that it's activated we can go in and
set it up. You can either go settings
here or if you're ever at your dashboard
and you need to access it you can also
go from settings here and you see the
TinyMCE Advanced tab right there. You
see up here are the buttons that are
being used and down here are the unused
buttons that you can pull up and drag up
for it. By default they've already put
the font family and the font size
buttons up here so all we need to do is
scroll down and click Save Changes.
Now we can go back to the posts we were
working on I'll open up hello world and
from here you can highlight the areas
that you want to change, you can pick the
font size that you want, you can also
pick the font family from here so that's
a great way to get a little bit more
granular control over your fonts on your
website. Now the third method uses a
little bit of code and it
simply changes your overall font size of
your paragraphs using CSS. So to do that
I'm going to exit out of here, we want to
go to our Appearance Customize area. Your
theme may be different but you should
have the additional CSS tab right there
where we'll add a little bit of extra
CSS to control it so I want to show you
what it looks like so I'm going to click
on my hello world we can make changes in
real time to see what it looks like
before we save those changes. I'll show
you what I mean. So from here we want to
add a bit of code about the paragraph so
we'll type that in, we want to change the
font size and you can play with the font
size here.
You see as soon as I make those changes,
let me go ahead and finish that off with
my semicolon, this is a perfectly fine
piece of code that you can adjust. So
here you just want to play with the code
to see what size you want it and it's
only changing the paragraph coding and
the beauty of that is once we're happy
with the size that we want, once we click
publish it'll be available to the whole
site and across the board. So those are
three methods you can use to change the
font size in WordPress. Did you learn
