How to change Font Size in Wordpress
Published on June 8, 2014
Published on Wealthy Affiliate — a platform for building real online businesses with modern training and AI.
Some themes support font customization, such as size, color, etc. If I use my theme as a reference, any font customization will apply as an overall setting and I can’t specifically change it every time I write a post for my website using WP Editor.
Someone with html knowledge can probably change a setting in the style.css or any other html file for the theme. My basic html knowledge isn’t enough to do so and since I wanted to make quick progress, I didn’t feel like learning this part yet and was looking for an alternative.
I found a very handy plugin called WP Edit. It’s compatible with the current version of Wordpress (4.2.2).
Some features will only work with the WP Edit Pro version, but the basic font customization, such as font size, is available in the free version.
The installation just works like with any other plugin. You click on the Plugins tab in your Wordpress menu and then on Add New. See picture below
The Search tab should be automatically activated. If not, do so by clicking on Search. Type in WP Edit and hit the Enter key on your keyboard. See picture below
After a brief moment of searching, Wordpress will show any relevant plugins and WP Edit should be the very first plugin in the list.

The plugin is from Josh Lobe. Click on "Install Now" to install it. See picture below
Give it a brief moment to install. Once it’s successfully installed, click on "Activate Plugin".
Once done, a new tab called WP Edit will now show up in your WP Sidebar Menu. Click it and a Drag and Drop Panel will open up. This is the menu where you can customize the plugin.
Under "Button Rows" you'll see the current button setup in WP Editor (when composing a post/page and this is visible to you). Under "Button Container", you'll find additional options you can add to the container.
Simply drag and drop any desired button to the "Button Rows". Once happy with the setup, click the blue button called "Save Buttons".
See pictures below
If you now go to Posts/Pages and then "Add New", you’ll see that the buttons have been added to the WP Editor. See pictures below
Rinse and repeat with any feature from the Button Placeholder Container, if you desire more than just the Font Size.
Hope this helps and if you have any problems and need help, let me know. Any feedback is appreciated. :)
To your success,
