    Hi Helpful community

    I have a wordpress site, and can input custom css into the styling menu so is there someone who could help solve this problem?

    I have 3 orange icons on the home page, “stay active” , “feel at home” and “go explore”

    Is there a custom css code that someone has that would allow me the freedom to change the size of these icons?

    Thanks

    Tony

    You should be able to work things out more easily if you use the Developer Toolbar – F12 in most browsers. Use it to inspect the element in question, and edit/add CSS in the styles pane. The styles pane will also give you the appropriate element selector so that you can transfer the custom/revised CSS to your stylesheet.

    It depends on icon type.
    If it’s inline svg/img icon (may looks something like this <svg class="my-icon"> or <img class="my-icon" />) try to use

    .my-icon {
        width: 100px;
        height: 100px;
    }
    

    If icon is used not inline but as a background (may looks something like this<i class="my-icon"></i>) try to use

    .my-icon {
        width: 100px;
        height: 100px;
        background-size: 100% 100%;
    }
    

    If it’s from icon font (may looks something like this<i class="my-icon">twitter</i>) try to use

    .my-icon {
        font-size: 100px;
    }
