I have figured out that the font size of the articles in the main body of my site are controlled by the following in template.css:

body.fs3{
font-size: 11px;

However, that body.fs3 also controls the font in certain modules too. I ONLY want to change the font size in the main body (the articles), so I would like to make it body.fs4 for those.

But I can’t find where to change it. Can someone help?

Just replying to you here quickly

1: This is not a bug or an issue with the template. All and any help you might get on this would naturally be from helpful people wanting to assist you for free
2: For this to “happen” you must create a new body.fs4 for example and then let the body of your site be controlled by this ( or make the changes to the applicable modules )

Reason for writing this reply to you is because of your “refund” questions. Not answering this questions is of course ( as I am sure you understand ) not any type of reason for a refund.

Eric – This issue has nothing to do with the refund thread. This is simply a request for help with modifying my template.

“body.fs4” already exists in the template. I just cannot find where to change it to make the articles in the main part of the page use this one. So when you say “let the body of your site be controlled by this”.. that’s exactly what I want to do but I can’t find the code for that.

Can anyone else help me?

Find line 153 in your CSS code and change the font-size from 90% to a 100% or 110% and so on and see if you like it and if not try another number. Keep in mind that all the text in your articles etc. will change to the size you decide on.

If this doesn’t change the size then PM me with your login details and I will go take a closer look. I don’t have this template to work with but I looked at your site with FireFox which allowed me to view your CSS and the line number where the control is.

I appreciate the attempt, but that changes the font size of everything in the site. I just wish I could find in the code where the body calls for the “body.fs*”. I realize it’s quite a simple fix, I just cannot find it in the code anywhere.

So, are you saying that you want to change the font size in that one article only?

I want to change the font size for all articles in the main body of the site. They are currently controlled by body.fs3. I want them to be controlled by body.fs4. I cannot find where, in any part of the template files, to change that.

Why haven’t you just changed the px size? It would look something like the following:

}

body.fs3{
font-size: 11px;
}

body.fs4{
font-size: 12px;
}

Change the body.fs3 font-size to 12px.

Because there are other parts of the template that are also controlled by body.fs3. When I change the font size for that one, the font is too big in those other items. This is why I just want only the articles changed to be body.fs4… so that all the other items controlled by body.fs3 aren’t affected.

You will need to rewrite the CSS to achieve what you want. When you write your articles you could specify the font size that you want to use. It’s not the best way to go about it but it would be way more easier. Good luck going forward. 🙂

I’m thinking about this… is the body.fs* related to the font resizing built into the templates? Seems to me that’s why they control more than just the articles and I can’t just switch those around to fix my problem???

Well thank you for trying to help. You have been most patient and I appreciate all of your suggestions!

you could do

body.fs3 ja-content {
font-size:11px;
}
body.fs4 ja-content {
font-size:12px;
}

Or something like that.

It seems that your idea should work, but it doesn’t. I think I am soon going to give up on this one.:(

sequenceinc,

You can group some HTML elements (you want define font size ) into one group in css file.

Ex:

h3, .contentheading, .componentheading,… {
font-size: 12px !important;
}

and set this group into the end of the template_css.css file.

Hi, I have changed the font size via the template manager, however, it doesn’t seem to take affect. The text/font size in my articles is still very small. Do I have to go into the code to fix this? The actual ARTICLE TITLES are fine.
But the top menu font is very very small, and the article body text is small.

Thanks
