  Hi there, you can change the font size by using your browser inspector to find the name of each element, and then add some CSS to make the tweaks. Did you want to change the text size in all widgets, or just a specific one?

  If you wanted to reduce the size of your Recent Posts text, excluding the widget heading, you could add this code under Appearance > Custom Design. Click the CSS tab and add this completely below the existing green comments:

  #recent-posts-2 ul {
   font-size: 80%;
  }

  Click Save when you’re done.
