How do I set font size in footer 1 widget
3 replies · Started by Ian on December 10, 2022
For many years I have had a footer on all my websites like the one on https://editingcopy.com - except that it all fitted neatly in one row.
For that I use

If I have a blog, there is an extra button to fit in the row.
But when I go to appearance>customize>typography>search elements>footer bar it doesn't seem to control the font size to make everything fit neatly in one row.
Is there a way to modify the font size in footer1 widget, or do I have to do it by brute force?
It's about five years since I last wrote things in HTML. Back then I would have wrapped my HTML in a div command to control the font size, but I've forgotten how. I don't even know if the latest HTML code has divs.

Hi there,
Back then I would have wrapped my HTML in a div command to control the font size, but I’ve forgotten how.
This method should still work - it's currently set to 14pt in your HTML - you can still edit that number:

Let me know if this helps :)
Hi, Thanks for your reply.
I happened to notice that everything was wrapped in <p></p> tags. So, after watching a tutorial on the Internet, I realised that I could easily put a style in the tag. It worked, and I set it to 14pt to get an acceptable layout.

No problem :)
