[Support request] Can not change Widget Font Size

[Marius]

Hello,

I have switched to the new typographie font manager. But now I can not change the font soze of the text in widgets in the footer. There is only the optin to change the widget titles. With the old syste, that was easy to do.

How can i change them?

Okay, I have figured this out with this post:https://generatepress.com/forums/topic/widget-font-size-missing/
But why is this much more complicated as it was in the old system?
Without the information in this post, no one can find out how this works?
Why can I not simply choose widget font size from the list?

Hi Sonja,

It’s because WP changed its widgets from the legacy ones to the block ones.

Most widgets are now in the block form, and you can control their typography directly within the block settings.

The theme can NOT control all of the widgets’ typography anymore, and it’s hard to target, even with the custom selector.widget, you can only target part or none of the widgets.

Hope I made it clear 🙂

Okay, thanks. I understand. But on the widget page, i also cannot control the fontsize. Hmm.

[Ying]

Can you link me to a post or page where I can see the widgets?
Thanks!

[Marius]

You can see them here in the footer.

Which widget specifically are you trying to change?

[Marius]

it was about changing the text size. From all 3 widgets

Hi Sonja,

For the Footer Widget titles, you may try this Custom Target Element if you’re using the Typography Manager:

#footer-widgets.footer-widgets .widget-title

For the other content in the footer widgets:

#footer-widgets.footer-widgets .widget

If you’re using GenerateBlocks, you should be able to control the fonts directly through the Block Settings in Appearance > Widgets. Reference: https://docs.generateblocks.com/article/headline-overview

Hope this clarifies!
