Tag cloud font size – Highwind theme

  • mirandajayde · Member ·

    Hi all,

    I’m using the Highwind theme and the tags in the tag-cloud widget are ridiculously small (8pt). I was wondering if someone could help with css to make the font size larger (i.e. minimum 12pt). I’ve been messing around trying to use code from online tutorials and uncover the original css using firebug, but I’m a novice.

    All help in much appreciated

    Hi,

    It’s rather sad that the tag cloud widget is not coded with best practice in mind:

    • The font size styling is hard-coded into the HTML
    • Each different tag sizing does not have its own class for easy styling

    What this means is that it’s practically impossible to do the seemingly simple task you are aiming for. Sorry about this :(

    Thanks very much for your response – glad it’s not me that’s going crazy.

    Here’s some CSS that might work in your case:

    .wp_widget_tag_cloud a[title="1 topic"] {
	font-size: 12pt !important;
}

    It only affects the very smallest 8pt font sizes (the ones with only one topic).
