  Can the size of a font differ in a text widget from the text size used in the site/blog? If so, how can I make that happen?

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

  Hello there!

  Dropping this code in your custom CSS area should do the trick:

  .textwidget {
  	font-size: 20px;
  }

  Let me know if that doesn’t work!

  I am trying this in a non-premium plan. But thank you for your help.

  Hi there!

  In that case, something like this should help. You’ll need to wrap your text with <span></span> tags when you place it into the widget area. Something like this:

  <span style="font-size: 20px;">All widget text here</span>

  Hope that helps!

  Hey there!

  I’m also trying to do this on a non-premium plan with Sela Theme. I’m attempting to customize all three footer widgets with making text bold, italicized, different colors, etc.

  Every time I’ve tried it thus far with the information I’ve found online, it self deletes after I hit save/update.

  @Sagebrownell Can you assist with that as well? Thank you :)

  Hello!

  Something like this should work for you too:
  <span style="font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: #000000;">All widget text here</span>

  If that sort of this isn’t working for you or you have further questions, would you mind opening up a new thread?

  Hope that helps,

  If you don’t have a premium or business plan entering the info in css will not work.

  Yes, it doesn’t work in the CSS area, but it should work with inline CSS if you just drop the code above straight into the textarea in the widget.

  Hope that helps,
