Hi. Im not sure if this has been answered already, I searched but could not find. If it has, maybe someone can point me in the right direction.

So my question:
I want to change the default font type, colour and size for all articles. Currently I am changing these as I add the article but then I have to go through and change the already existing articles. Is there a setting where I can do this from. The other problem with manually setting these is that most of the time when I go back into an article to edit something, it returns to the default settings.

Any help will be appreciated

:confused:

Hi vrahimis,

open file template.css, located in the css directory of your template, and look for this:

body {
background: #FFFFFF;
color: #000000;
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
line-height: 1.5;
}

body#bd {
color: #000000;
margin-top: 5px;
background: #F1F1F1;
}

change this values according to your needs.

Good luck 🙂

Yes you could, you can use any styling you wish 🙂

thanks for your help but it never worked. this is how I have it now but nothing changes:

body {
background: #FFFFFF;
color: #000000;
font-size: 15px;
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
line-height: 1.5;
}

body#bd {
color: #000000;
margin-top: 5px;
background: #F1F1F1;
}

And whatever I change under body#bd changes everything on the site. I only want to change article text.

Anyway, I’ll keep trying. Thanks

Put it like this:

body {
background: #FFFFFF;
color: #000000;
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
line-height: 1.5;
}

body#bd {
color: #000000;
margin-top: 5px;
background: #F1F1F1;
font-size: 15px;
}

also, if you don’t want to affect anything other than text in articles, you can add this to your template.css

.article-content {
font-size: 15px;
}

Cheers 🙂
