Set Default Font Size

    I am tired of having to set my font size every time I create a paragraph block. I keep seeing I can change the global settings, and I changed the default setting for the single post template (template for my blog posts). It’s still not working.

    I don’t want to change the font for my website, I just want the default font size set to small (13 px) for the text on my blog posts. And I really don’t want to keep having to manually change it for every single block.

    It was the default initially, but a couple months ago, it changed to a smaller font. I don’t know how or what happened.

    I’ve followed the instructions
    https://wordpress.com/support/block-typography-settings/

    that hasn’t worked either. There is no option to apply it to future paragraph blocks, and it certainly doesn’t apply automatically. Even after changing it this way, as soon as I create another paragraph block, I have to set it manually.

    Pretty frustrating, for lengthy posts, time-consuming. Any help would be great!

    Hey there,

    While it is not possible to set a universal type size through the Global settings, we can change the default type size for various blocks, including the Paragraph block. This way, when you add a new Paragraph block, it will use 13px font unless you choose to change it. To do so, visit Appearance > Editor, then select Styles and click on the Pencil icon to open the settings. From here, select Blocks and choose the Paragraph block. You can then set the global settings for this block and change the default text size to Small (13px).
