I would like to make the tagline much larger in font size and change the font to a serif face to match the logo slogan. I also would like to increase the menu size as well as body copy size on all pages. Thank you.

    Hi, I Work Here

    Hi Howard

    Try the following under Appearance > Custom CSS for your tagline area:

    /* Header */

header#masthead .hgroup #header-sidebar {
color: #595959;
font-size: 14px;
line-height: 24px;
}

header#masthead .hgroup #header-sidebar a { 
color: #4273d1;
text-decoration: none;
}

header#masthead .hgroup #header-sidebar a:hover { 
text-decoration: underline;
}

    That snippet is however not for what you have right now. It’s for using the Visual Editor widget: https://wordpress.org/plugins/black-studio-tinymce-widget/ in the Appearance > Widgets: Header area. And has some styling for links too.

    If you’d like to keep it simple and use what you have there then rather use the following under Appearance > Custom CSS:

    /* Vantage Support Text */

header#masthead hgroup .support-text {
color: #4b4b4b;
font-size: 13px;
font-style: italic;
}

    And edit as required.

    To change the menu font and font-size, use the following and edit as required:

    /* Vantage Set Menu Font Family and Size */

.main-navigation {
font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 12px;
}

    Thank you for the quick reply, Andrew! I used your “keep it simple” css code and the menu worked fine but the tagline didnt change in size. I think this information might be pulling from another location which isnt controlled by css? I removed the tagline from the APPEARANCE / CUSTOMIZE / SITE TITLE & TAGLINE section and it still exists on the front end. Any thoughts??

    Thanks again for your assistance!

    For sure.

    The text there can be edited at Appearance > Theme Settings > Logo > Header Text. I made a mistake, this is how the CSS should look to edit that:

    /* Vantage Support Text */

header#masthead .hgroup .support-text {
color: #4b4b4b;
font-size: 13px;
font-style: italic;
}

    Hi Andrew

    Thanks for this, it helped me to.

    How do prevent the tagline from taking up 2 lines? If i go over 35px it takes up 2 lines, even though there is still plenty space for it to just be on one line?
