  I use the Book Lite theme for my blog, but i have noticed that many of my posts start with drop caps and in some posts, the entire first line is capitalized. How to remove this? Can someone help me with the blog https://nerdfighter0406.wordpress.com ?

  i have noticed that many of my posts start with drop caps and in some posts, the entire first line is capitalized.

  This is a feature of the Book Lite design, and it comes from this part of the theme’s CSS:

  .entry-content > p:first-child:first-line {
      font-variant: small-caps;
      letter-spacing: 0.05em;
  }

  I use the Book Lite theme for my blog, but i have noticed that many of my posts start with drop caps

  That’s coming from here:

  .format-standard .entry-content > p:first-child:first-letter, .page .entry-content > p:first-child:first-letter {
      color: #000;
      float: left;
      font-size: 7.03rem;
      line-height: 43px;
      margin: 9px 5px 0 0;
  }

  To eliminate it, you’d need to add some Custom CSS. If you go this route, feel free to post in the CSS Customization forum for help with the CSS you’ll need to override Book Lite’s default typography.
