Changing Font size in Wordpress
This had been driving me crazy. I couldn't figure out why there wasn't an option to change the size of the fonts without using HTML code. So I used my old buddy GOOGLE and found a plugin. https://wordpress.org/plugins/tinymce-advanced/
It works great!!!!
Download the TINYMCE plugin from the URL above
save it to a location on your computer
Go into Wordpress
click plugin
click add new
click upload plugin button
click choose file
Navigate to the location you saved the download
select the .zip file
click Install now
It takes a little bit, but then another screen will appear
click activate
click Settings » TinyMCE Advanced
drag the Font Family and Font sizes buttons from the unused buttons section to to an empty line
click save.
now when you open your pages you will see this
highlight the text you want to change and click the font size drop down and select the font size you want.
NOTE: It will not actually change the size of the text in the editor, but it you preview you will see a difference.
Let me know if you have any questions.

Hey, this is a great plugin. Works like a charm. Thank you. I want to add that this plugin can be found like any normal plugin, inside word press. Just install and activate and then go to settings.
Hi, have just installed the plugin, from your instructions, it was very simple and very helpful, I have been looking for a way to change the font and size in wordpress for the last couple of weeks.
