Are the font sizes in your LearnDash course navigation widget too small? Or they don’t match your theme?

In this post, I’ll show you how to change the font size of your course nav widget. You can change the font size of everything in the course nav, as well as target just the lessons. Let’s walk through each option.

All of the following code should be copied & pasted to the style.css file of a child theme or the “Additional CSS” area of the WordPress Customizer.

How to Change Font Size in the Course Nav Widget

The following CSS will update the font size of everything within your LearnDash course navigation. You can change the “20px” value to whatever font size you’d like.

.widget_ldcoursenavigation .course_navigation .learndash_navigation_lesson_topics_list {
	font-size: 20px;
}

Now, if you want to change the font size of the lessons in your course nav to something different than the size you set above, you can use this code.

How to Change Font Size of Lessons in the Course Nav Widget

This code should be placed AFTER and IN ADDITION TO the code above.

.widget_ldcoursenavigation .course_navigation .learndash_navigation_lesson_topics_list .lesson {
	font-size: 20px;
}

Again, change “20px” to any value you’d like.

    Hi – great list of codes here.
    Are you able to also change the font size in quizzes – i.e. the font size in the answer boxes?
    Thanks!

      Hi Gemma — Sure. If by “answer box” you mean the message that shows “Correct/Incorrect” and then you type in feedback for the student, then use this code:

      .wpProQuiz_content .wpProQuiz_response {
	font-size: 1rem;
}

      You can increase the value from there until you’ve got the size you want. Try 1.125rem, 1.25rem, 1.375rem, and so on.

    Hi Dave – thanks so much for the response. Sorry but I meant the box where users have to input their answer when taking the quiz – this occurs in ‘free choice’ or cloze’ type questions. Not quite sure if the font type or size can be changed here – I’ve tried with theme options but it doesn’t seem to have any effect. Thanks again! Gemma

      Hi Gemma — Sounds like you have a poorly coded theme. A quality theme should apply a base font size to all text inputs & textareas (that’s what those boxes are called), that matches that of the main body text elsewhere in the theme.

      But, yes, you can change the font size of those areas. Here’s the CSS to do it:

      .wpProQuiz_content .wpProQuiz_question .wpProQuiz_questionEssay,
.wpProQuiz_content .wpProQuiz_question .wpProQuiz_questionInput {
	font-size: 1rem;
}

    Perfect – thanks so much Dave – works great on free choice questions. Yes, I think you’re right that it must be a problem with the theme. It doesn’t quite change the font size on cloze questions but I will look into it further. Thanks for your help!

    Hi – how can you change the size of the font in the paragraph box? Also the button size for the quizzes please – I’d like to make these larger and preferrably with rounded corners

      I’m not sure exactly what you mean by “paragraph box,” but if you’re referring to content that you’re adding via the WordPress block editor, that is controlled by your theme.

      As for quiz buttons, there are quite a few different class names used for all the quiz buttons. I think this will get most of them.

      .learndash .wpProQuiz_content .wpProQuiz_button, .learndash .wpProQuiz_content .wpProQuiz_button2, .learndash .wpProQuiz_content .wpProQuiz_button.wpProQuiz_TipButton, .learndash .wpProQuiz_content a#quiz_continue_link, .learndash .wpProQuiz_content form[name=uploadEssay] input[type=submit], .learndash .wpProQuiz_content .wpProQuiz_certificate a.btn-blue {
font-size: 18px;
border-radius: 20px;
}

      Adjust both values to your liking.

    Hi! Thanks for the above , it was really helpful! How can I customise the font size and type for topics, all questions and answers?

    Thanks in advance 🙂

      Sorry Liam, but I don’t understand what you’re referring to. Can you please provide a screenshot that illustrates exactly what you’re referring to?

    • Liam

      Hi. Sorry for not being more specific. I would like to change the font size to 10px for my quizzes; questions and answers (single choice etc). Currently, the font size is a bit on the large side and I would like to reduce this. Additionally, I would also like to remove some of the padding from the possible answers boxes. Here’s a link to what im reffering to.

      This CSS should do it. Add this to the “Additional CSS” area in the WordPress Customizer.

      .learndash .wpProQuiz_content .wpProQuiz_question {
    font-size: 90%;
}
.learndash-wrapper .wpProQuiz_content .wpProQuiz_questionListItem label {
    padding: 0.5em;
}

    Hi Dave! Thank you for the previous code, It worked great! Is it possible to make the “free” choice answer text boxes bigger in quizzes? At the minute, they are small and students have to scroll to see what they have written previously

      I think so. You would add a height:400px; to the CSS that targets that field. Sorry, I don’t have time to supply the exact code.
