General Font Size not changing

#1 · February 8, 2020, 7:04 pm

Hi guys

I have just opened up a new forum and I am having problems changing the font size.

I have tried changing it using CSS but that is not working either.

I have looked at inspect element and can’t see why… I think it has something to do with maybe the theme I am using but not sure.

I am good with HTML and CSS but no good with script.

Thanks in advance

Wich font do you want to resize, can you share a screenshot?

Do you have set the Base Font Size in Backend > Forum > Appearence?
All other font sizes are relative to this setting.

Yep I have used the base font as I want 15px… slightly bigger as the rest of the website is 16px… also used the CSS editor and still not working… 🙁

Did you edit the the custom.css located in wp-content/plugins/asgaros-forum/skin/ directly?

There are three entry’s for the #af-wrapper font-size in it (at the end of file).

#af-wrapper {
font-size: 16px !important;
}
#af-wrapper {
  font-size: 14px !important;
}

#af-wrapper {
  font-size: 14px !important;
}

The Bowser use the last entry, so the base font size is 14px.

You should never edit original files. On next Plugin update, all your custom css will be overriden.

Use the custom css in WP Customizer or the css file of a Child Theme.

Ok changed them all to 16px and now working… thanks

I did change them all to 16px before then changed them all back to 14px at some point as was not working… so today I do it and it works!

Typical! LOL

I also suffer from ME or Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and that can cause problems so sorry… 🙂
