I have a “posts” module on one of my pages. It appears that this module automatically pulls in the font size selected in customize > general > text. I’m going to call this the “automatic text size”. For various formatting reasons on all the other pages on my site, I have my automatic text size set to 12.
Is there a way to either
Change the font size for a “posts” module from the automatic text size (IE: 12 in my case) to something else?
OR
Is it possible to change the automatic text size for just one page?
The answer to both of your questions is yes, it is possible with CSS. However, can you provide a link to your post/page you mention above. So we can get the correct CSS for you, please?
For #1, we can use the CSS snippet below to change the excerpt text on the Posts module.
.fl-post-feed-content {
font-size: 15px;
}
You can add the code above either under Appearance > Customize > Code > CSS Code, or under Tools > Layout Settings > CSS. If this is the page you only have the Posts module on, I’d suggest placing it on the latter.
You can get your Beaver Builder child theme from your Beaver Builder My Account page. Install and activate like any other WordPress theme. Once activated, add the code provided by Ben, to your child themes functions.php file.
Ignore the mention in the code above about the Subscribe module, that is simply a comment that Ben has likely left there by accident.
Sorry about the comment! Danny is correct in that it was left there when I copied it from my local dev. I have changed the comment to reflect what it does.
so that works… but I have been doing all of my editing using the BB Theme as the activated theme… Now that I installed the child theme, I have to go through all of the settings on the “customize” thing and reset them.
This has me pretty scared. I’ve been editing my site for 3+ months on the BB Theme as the active theme… should I have been editing it with the child theme being active?
It’s really advisable to be using the child theme. If you’re switching just now, after a lot of work on your parent theme, you can export the settings from your parent theme, then import it to your child theme. Here’s how you can do it.
Activate the parent theme
Head over to Appearance > Export/Import
Hit the Install and Activate button
Go back to the same section in the customizer and export your settings
Activate child theme
Go back to the same section in the customizer and import the settings
This should port all your parent theme setting to your child theme.
