Font resize will not work / Make fonts bigger.

Hi. Congratulations on your work!

1) I have a problem with the font resize plugin. I uploaded it, activated it and I can see it in my forum page but it won't work. Pressing the letter buttons will not do anything. I've tested it in chrome, firefox and explorer and I get the same results. I can't find any settings on the plugin so I assume that you just activate it.

2) In which file should I look to find the code to make the fonts of the forum bigger by default?

My forum page is this: http://taxpress.gr/forum

And as you can see the fonts are pretty small, also the resizer isn't working.

Any help will be needed.

Thanks a lot.

you have multiple problems...

first a theme js file is throwing an error:

<script type='text/javascript' src='http://taxpress.gr/wp-content/themes/magup/scripts/jquery.bottom-slider.js?ver=3.6.1'></script>

SyntaxError: syntax error
http://taxpress.gr/wp-content/.....?ver=3.6.1
Line 1

not real sure what its doing...

second, the page generation is not completing...  It must be throwing an error before it completes..  Its possible it might just be that your theme does not have the required standard wp_footer call in the theme footer...

so please check that and the error log for any more info...

Found something here.

I used a custom page template for the forum page cause I wanted to be wider. Obvisously (no php knowledge here) I've done something wrong, I changed that and the font resizer works now!

The template I was using.

<?php

/**

Template Name: Page with background only

*/

?>

<?php

/**

* @package WordPress

* @subpackage MagUp_Theme

*/

get_header(); ?>

<?php get_header();?>

<div id="fullwidth">

</div>

<html>

<head>

<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_url'); ?>" type="text/css" media="screen" />

<style type="text/css">

body { background-color: #000000; background-image: url('***'); background-size:100% 100%; background-position: top center; background-attachment: scroll; }

#page-content { width: 100%; margin: 20px auto; }

#page-content p { font-size: 1em; font-family: Georgia; line-height: 1.5em; text-align: justify; }

</style>

<title><?php wp_title( '|', true, 'right' ); bloginfo('name'); ?></title>

<?php wp_head(); ?>

</problem-with-post-edit-buttonead>

<body>

<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

<div id="page-content">

<?php the_content(); endwhile; ?>

</div>

</body>

</problem-with-post-edit-buttontml

Can you tell me if you still get the same js error from the theme?

As for the second part of my question, where can I find and change the default font size of the forum? Is it in the site's theme css or in the forum's theme css (eg I use shades of grey theme).

Thanks a lot.

No - I am not seeing the same errors any more.

If you are happy with the main font size on your site as a whole then just change the base forum size. Withjin the Simple:Press themes folder - locate your theme (probably 'default') and then go to the /styles/overlays/ folder and find the file called shades-of-grey.php.

Near the top you will find a value for $mainFontSize which by default will be set to 100%. ^his is what you will need to increase until you are happy with the result. You can make this edit using the theme editor in the SP admin.

As always we recommend that you create your own SP theme so that any customisation is not lost during a future update. (http://codex.simple-press.com/.....g-a-theme/)

You're welcome. And good to see the font changer working as well.
