Sorry but I'm not a php programmer and so I simply removed the above line from the php file. It made all my titles the same font size as the body of the articles which is unacceptable.
I then go the trial and error method and removed things here and there. The nearest I could get to what I want is this:
<<?php echo $element->class;?>>
Although the above code did not affect the size of the titles, it prefixed the ticker's title with "<>". I then removed the outer pair like so:
<?php echo $element->class;?>
The above code caused my title to become small again.
Can you use the admin login and use the Component ProFiles to access the php file? The code above is in line 119.
