body text font size not changing

Hmm I am no expert here, and I'm only trying to help because somebody answered my question and I want to pay back the favor.
However, few thoughts:

1. Any "local settings" in the Text Module, will override the settings in the theme customizer. So if you go into your text module (click on the gear) and look at your Design settings for Paragraph, make sure it is set to default size. You could experiment with the font size settings and make sure your live webpage is reflecting those.

2. Maybe your browser has some setting that's making it display text smaller? We can increase/decrease size in our browsers using keyboard commands such as CTRL+minus sign. But then, all website text should look kind of small to you...so it probably isn't that.

3. If you're familiar with code, you can use the Inspect function of your browser to see what's going on (like, is font size set to 20px and then some CSS is overriding that, and where that's coming from)

Sorry if that's not helpful. I'm more of a designer than a developer.

 

I agree with Harriet above. Plus this:

I noticed that there are some issues in the latest version (not accepting defined font sizes, blurb border colors, etc.). This seems to be consistent with what I've seen. You should contact Divi support to let them know this is still an issue. The more people they have letting them know, the more data they have, and the more likely to get a speedy solution.

In the meantime, try clearing your cache (ctrl-r, cmd-r, or F5 depending on browser or OS) In Chrome you will want to clear the cache manually by going into settings.

If that doesn't change things, you can manually set the font size in the custom css in the main element area of the module using

font-size: 20px;

If that doesn't work try:

font-size: 40px !important;

 

If I had the same issue as you then I fixed it - under the "content" section click on "clear formatting" (icon: Tx) then I was able to change the font size

Hope it helps!

 

Good Day,

First, make sure that you have not used divi builder to customize it. if you customize it with divi builder, you can directly go there and change the settings.

second, go for inspect element. (If possible share the url). If you can find out the class, you may use it in additional CSS as-

.classname (use exact class you have selected from inspect element){

font-size:20px;
}


If it still does not work you can use this as -

.classname (use exact class you have selected from inspect element){

font-size:20px !important;
}

Regards.

 

I also had this issue and then it came to me. I had copied and pasted the text from an email I received from my customer. I took the text back to my outlook email, pasted it into a new message and switched the type to plain text (3 dots at the top) which cleared all the formatting. I then copied and pasted that onto the website and the problem was solved. Hope that helps.
