Trouble editing text size of a summary block

Recommended Posts

Hi, 

I was told by Squarespace Support that it is not possible to change the font size for Summary Blocks natively within Squarespace. Changing the text in the place of origin wouldn't work for changing the font size either.


I need to make the body / bio font seen in the image block bigger using CSS only for this specific summary block without impacting the global or rest of the sites' style - will someone help me write the necessary CSS lines?

@niveau5, try adding this to Custom CSS:

.summary-excerpt p {
    font-size: 12px;
}

Your default font size was 14, so you can try 12 or any other size you'd like.

Oh!!!! It is working. Thanks!

.summary-excerpt p {
    font-size: 12px !important;
}

? Do you think there is a bit of code to add, to reduce the title/link as well ? Here is the link : https://www.niveau5.com/25ans#niveau_5_25_ans_retrospective

a.summary-title-link {
    font-size: 10px;
}

Hi,

I'm trying to use this piece of coding that I've seen suggested before - but it doesn't make the change?

.summary-excerpt p {

font-size: 14px; !important;

}

When I keep !important; then I get a Syntax error for line 2 and the font size doesn't change.

When I delete !important; then the font size doesn't change either

Thanks for any suggestions for how I change this. (My site isn't published yet so can't send you a link unfortunately.
