Thank you kindly!

Can you post a link to your site? It's always easier to help if we can see what you see.

Go to Appearance > Editor in your WordPress dashboard to open your stylesheet.

Find this:

body {
	background-color: #f2f2f2;
	color: #222;
	font-family: 'Open Sans', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
	font-size: 16px;
	font-size: 1.6rem;
	line-height: 1.6;
}

You can change the font-size rules (you'll need to change both) to make the font bigger. 10px = 1rem for keeping them proportional, so if you change the font size to 18px, you'll want to change the second font-size to 1.8rem. Hope that makes sense!

Yes it makes sense, thank you. So did that and the font didn't change. Another weird thing is the font looks smaller in Chrome than it does in Safari and Firefox. Thoughts?

Thanks so much!

I did 20px and 2.0rem, Id attach a screen shot but there's no option here.

Try adding !important before the semicolon for those rules, like this:

body {
	background-color: #f2f2f2;
	color: #222;
	font-family: 'Open Sans', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
	font-size: 20px !important;
	font-size: 2rem !important;
	line-height: 1.6;
}

Aloha Again, since the code change some things are going on with the text. For example on this blog post: http://socialstrategizer.com/facebook-marketing-for-list-building/

scroll down to between # 5 & 7 bullet points and notice how the text in #6 is smaller than the rest of the body copy. This is happened on a few pages. Thoughts?

Thank you,
Adam

It appears thats its even smaller than the original default font size that was replaced, if thats helps determine anything.

Thanks again.
