What is preventing me from changing the font size in the "zine intro paragraph" class in my blog posts template in Webflow?

To determine what is preventing you from changing the font size in the "zine intro paragraph" class in your blog posts template in Webflow, you need to consider a few possible causes. Here are some troubleshooting steps:

  1. Check for conflicting CSS styles: It's possible that there might be conflicting CSS styles that are overriding your desired font size. Inspect the element using the browser's developer tools and check if there are any other CSS styles applied to the "zine intro paragraph" class. Look for properties like font-size or any other related styles that might be affecting the font size.

  2. Specificity of CSS selectors: Webflow uses a cascading style sheet (CSS) to style elements. Therefore, if there are multiple selectors targeting the same element, the specificity of the selectors will determine which styles will apply. Check if there are any other CSS styles targeting the "zine intro paragraph" class with higher specificity. In such cases, you may need to increase the specificity of your CSS rule to override the conflicting styles.

  3. Inheritance from parent elements: If the "zine intro paragraph" class is nested within other elements, the font size may be inheriting from its parent elements. In such cases, you may need to explicitly set the font size for the "zine intro paragraph" class and ensure that it's not being overridden by any parent styles.

  4. Use !important declaration: Although it's generally not recommended, you can try using the !important declaration to forcefully override any conflicting styles. For example, you can add font-size: desired-size !important; to make sure your desired font size takes precedence.

  5. Cache or browser issues: Sometimes, caching or browser issues can also interfere with the changes you make. Try clearing your browser cache or accessing the site in incognito mode to rule out any caching issues.

If none of the above solutions work, it might be helpful to provide more specific details about your setup, the structure of your template, and any custom code you are using. This will allow us to provide more tailored guidance to help you troubleshoot the issue.
