Increase font size of subcategories

[Kitty]

Hi, How do I increase the size of the font in subcategories?
ie. when you click on one of your categories on your webpage it goes to a page where there are your subcategory images and under the images is its description.
how do i increase the font size of this description?

i dont want to increase "font size" under body as this increases all the font in the webpage.
body {
font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 71%;
color: #000000;
background-color: #404040;

is there another way?
(just the font under the image.)

thanks!

Add to your stylesheet:

.listingDescription {font-size: 1.2em;}

Adjust to taste.

Thanks!! where abouts in the stylesheet do i paste that?
i tried putting it right at the end and then up the top.. nothing happened...

Try exaggerating the number, in case you are getting pixel rounding and not seeing the increase.

The location shouldn't matter, but I'd put it nearer the end to be sure. In my test site (fresh 1.3.7), it works right at the beginning.

You mention "under the image" which means you are using column grid, or otherwise not the standard product listing. Can you post a link to your site?

That is because the text you want to change is not the listing description. Try this:

.categoryListBoxContents {font-size: 1.2em;}



Thanks Glenn!!! Grid table labels enlarged. Just what i wanted!!!

I've tried this but once a subcategory has been clicked on then the font returns to its previous small size.

Let's see your site so we can give the right advice the first time.

It's not live yet so can't turn it on because its a shop and it would cause chaos if someone found it and ordered something.

Would a screenshot help? If so, please let me know and I'll do one.

It's the WP black purple template if that helps.

[gjh42]

No, a screenshot probably wouldn't be much use. You say "once a subcategory has been clicked on"... does that mean a different page type or another category/subcategory page?

[icklebits]

I'm sorry that I'm not making sense. I just don't know how to explain it.

I also know that you said a screenshot wouldn't help but here is one anyway. The bit circled in red is the bit I want to make bigger...or bolder...or even a darker colour.
