Font size Categories

[JulieD]

Hi.

I'm new and totally new to CubeCart.  I've done quite well and am feeling quite chuffed that I have managed to get my store up and running with a couple of products....

but I have just noticed that the category description font is like out of control and I have no idea how to fix it or if I did something

e.g. http://tedandfriends.com.au/coffee-time-multipack-3-machine-embroidery-designs-to-suit-4-x-4-hoop-instant-download-put-the-coffee-on-pass-the-donuts.html

You can't miss it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Welcome JulieD! Glad to see you made it to the forums.

The product name is shown using the HTML H1 font size. This is almost three times the size as the normal font size.

You didn't do anything wrong. But I have two points to make:

1. For your product's name, there is good news and bad news. The more words, the better description, and the better to find such a product when searching. But that's also not necessary. A search will find those words in the product's actual description, so no need to to overload the product name with descriptive text. I suggest a simpler "Coffee Time Multipack".
2. The Foundation skin that ships with CC6 is intentionally simple and in some ways, some parts are out of proportion. If you have any HTML web page design skills, you will be able to make changes to the display to suit your needs. You might also find a more suitable skin in the Marketplace.

Since you are just starting your store, I would agree that shorter titles would probably be more useful to your customers. Also, the disclaimer about needing an embroidery machine shows up BEFORE the description of the design package. That makes all the item descriptions on the category pages look alike.

As for the font sizes, I changed mine from within the skin/css/foundation.css file somewhere around line 3500. I use a renamed foundation skin, so upgrades do not erase any changes I made to this file. If you will only be making a few changes, a better choice is to copy over the section of h1, h2, etc. sizes to cubecart.css and make your changes there - those changes are NOT erased when CC is upgraded and they take priority over the stock foundation.css values.

You can see this size combination at https://dirtybutterestates.com.

 h1 {
  font-size:1.75rem; } //SIZES OF TITLES

h2 {
  font-size: 1.50rem; }

h3 {
  font-size: 1.2rem; }

h4 {
  font-size: 1.0rem; }

h5 {
  font-size: 0.75rem; }

h6 {
  font-size: 0.50rem; }
}

Thanks to both of you   Greatly appreciated!

I shortened the descriptions and moved the disclaimer!  Just got to get in to the css now

Thanks again!  Julie D

This still seems to me to be what I would want to see from the Category page. You could put that part in the Short Description, if you need to keep the full description as you now have it.

Ah ha!  Did that and it does look so much better!  Thanks again.

Also, the URL is still the very long one you started with. Suggest you change that to the shorter version, too. That's on the SEO tab of each listing.

Sorry...I don't know which one you mean

 

Found it!  Thanks

Sorry. I'm working from memory right now, as I can't get into my admin pages right now. I'm looking at your site from my Kindle and seeing a green box at the top that is empty and NOT responsive.
