I have posted this before but the person I was working with has let their membership expire. Can someone help?

Hi

I am trying to change the font size for the body of my articles. It is too small.

So far I have changed the JA Teline IV/templates/css/template.css to:

/* Article —*/
.blog-featured .article-content,
.blog .article-content { font-size: 100%; }

.item-page .article-content {
font-family: Georgia, Cambria, “Times New Roman”, Times, serif;
font-size: 300%;
}

.item-page.ja-telineiv-blog {
position: relative;
}

Cleaned cache
No change upon refresh of page.

I went to the article in the backend, opened, saved, cleaned the cache, still no change upon refresh.

What am I missing?
Does this change in the code only effect new article created? (This is why I opened and saved the article again).

Any suggestions would be helpful.

Thanks
Susan

I don’t have Teline but I’ve done some serious head-banging with changing css and getting nowhere. One of the guys here pointed out after a few questions that I wan’t using the default template but one chosen under cpanel i,e another colour.

Once I started editing THAT css file it worked!

Simple and stupid I know but it took me hours of frustration and help from the forum guys to find out!

Could be a starting point?

Hi sbbritt,

are you using the J1.5 or the J1.7 version?
There are several approaches to increase the font size. If your changes aren’t visible, try to use !important at the end of each statement.

Apply it global

body#bd {
font-size: 14px !important;
}

Apply it directly

.ja-content-main .item-page {
font-size: 14px;
}

If you don’t know which classes you have to change, use firebug to find out 🙂

Please get back here with a little bit more details and maybe a site URL if available.

Cheers

Frank

I was having the same problem using 2.5 but that solution worked for me. Thanks.
