  I am fairly new to using wp. At first, I just started posting using defaults. But now I’d like to get a little more control over my content. One thing that is a little frustrating is changing font size for my posts. If you take a look at my blog, text in the posts look larger than for the blog name and tagline. Any tips on controlling the font and size for postings?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there,

  Font sizes can be changed with css, but adding css is only permitted on a business or premium plan.

  If you have a business or premium plan, try adding the css below to your site in My Sites → Customize → CSS.

  @media screen and (min-width: 32.375em) {
  	.entry-title {
  		font-size: 38px; /* Change font size for titles */
  	}
  
  	.entry-content, .entry-summary {
  		font-size: 16px; /* Change font size for content */
      }
  }

  Thanks, Gary. I was hoping there would be a plugin for this. If nothing else, I guess I can change using the paragraph options. Just seems like very basic functionality.

  You can change font sizes in the Customizer‘s Fonts panel, without needing any custom CSS. After selecting a font for Headings or Base font, click “Normal” and you’ll see a range of sizes to choose from.

  Let me know if this helps.

  Apologies for saying css was required.

  I didn’t know a conditional font-size option appeared after selecting a font-family. Lesson learned :)

  No worries – it’s not the most intuitive thing right now. ;-)
