Jessica Theme – changing css font size, colors etc

[candacegodwin]

Hi,
I'm not a techie, but have been able to make successful changes to style sheets in the past with other websites. I've had trying luck with the Jessica theme. I'm trying to do simple things like change the size of the text in the header area. Using Chrome's inspect elements, I'm able to make the change, by changing 5.1rem to 3.1rem -- but when I attempt this in the style css (working in Firefox), it doesn't work. Here's the code:
.site-title {
font-family: 'Roboto Slab', serif;
font-size: 51px;
font-size: 5.1rem;
font-weight: 300;
line-height: 1;
text-transform: uppercase;
}

Jessica has numerous style sheets, making it that more confusing: stylesheet css, visual editor css and rtl-css. I've tried making the change in both the css and rtl-css (so they are both the same code), but it doesn't work. If I change to 3.1rem, do I need to also change to 31px? I've tried that and it doesn't seem to matter.

I had a similar issue with changing the background header color -- after many attempts it finally worked -- is there a delay?

All changes appear to "work" with inspect elements, but not with actually changing the code. It can't be that hard -- what am I not doing correctly?

I'm waiting to be accepted in the Web Savvy forum, but any help here would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance -- Candace

Yes, you need to change both font-size and rem. 1 rem = 10px. This is what I see in your style sheet with Firefox and the rem is controlling the display:

.site-title {
    font-family: 'Roboto Slab', serif;
    font-size: 51px;
    font-size: 3.1rem;
    font-weight: 300;
    line-height: 1;
    text-transform: uppercase;
}

You may be seeing a cached version of the style sheet if you see something different.

Thanks Victor, I made those changes then discovered it was an issue with caching. It works and I appreciate you taking the time to respond. I do have another question -- please let me know if I need to start a new thread -- is there a way to add a logo file to this theme without going the ftp upload route?

Thank you again for your time and quick response. -- Candace

For some reason, the developer of the Jessica theme didn't take advantage of the Genesis custom header feature. Since that's a third party theme, you may be better off directing your question to the developer. http://www.web-savvy-marketing.com/
