nicolasPlease help me! I’m new to WordPress. I’m trying to change my posts with many different font sizes. But I can not see any toolbars in the WordPress Administrator Dashboard. My post looks very simple and boring, unlike another post. Anybody can help me resolve this problem?
manaMy problem is the same. I don’t know where can I find the toolbar to help me change font-size for my posts. :'(
SophieHi,
Thank you for contacting DesignWall! My name is Sophie and I am happy to be of assistance in this matter.
In order to change the font size in WordPress, you can choose either these two methods:
Method 1: Using the Paragraph Headings
Step 1: In general, when you’re working with a post or a page in WordPress, you will see that the graphic editor has different items such as Bold, Italics, bullets and other choices that you can apply to format your text. In your case, you can not see the toolbar to help you change the font-size because you don’t activate it. To activate this toolbar, look at the screenshot below:
Step 2: In the new toolbar, you can see all the available items under the tab as shown in the screenshot below:
You can choose these sizes to make your posts become more attractive but you have to make sure that the font size is coherent with your posts. In most cases, one of the heading sizes should get the job done. Also, you should use heading tags to emphasize main keywords in your posts to get SEO benefits.
Method 2: Using TinyMCE Advanced Plugin
Maybe you want an easy method without complications or any plugin. But I think that this plugin is very simple. It utilizes a WordPress plugin known as TinyMCE advanced.
Firstly, you go to Settings » TinyMCE Advanced to configure the editor settings. On this article, you will see the TinyMCE Editor toolbar with buttons. You will also see unused buttons below:
When you finished installing and activating, it adds an additional set of tools right into every post or page editor. As you can see, the new toolbar appears with the familiar interface. So that you don’t even need to learn anything new.
As you can see in the screenshot above, you can select any font size you like from the drop down. This gives you more options for your text because now you can actually have font-size even smaller or bigger than the normal body font i.e 8pt or 10pt.
P/s: If you want to change the font size of all paragraphs (i.e the entire post content), then DO NOT use the TinyMCE advanced. You need to adjust the styling in your style.css file instead.
Let me know if there is anything else I can help you with.
Warm Regards,
Sophie.
