Can anybody please tell me how to change the default font size for topics and posts from 11 pt?

I've changed the font size for "Post content font size:" under "Colors & Styles" in "Forum Settings" to 12 pt but when I got to create a topic or reply to a topic in a post, the default font size is still shown as 11 pt.

Thanks a lot for any assistance you can provide.

@hereamack,

You want to change the font size of the editor before publishing the post(when the post is still in editing mode)?

Yes, that is correct.

11 is widely known to be an occult number so it is not in my best interests for 11pt to be displayed as the font size.

Use the below CSS Code:

body#tinymce p {
    font-size: 12px;
}

Thanks a lot. I really appreciate it!

Where do I add it?  Do I add it in the style.css file for my theme or somewhere else?

Thanks a lot for any assistance you can provide.

@hereamack,

Sorry for not mentioning that, Navigate to Dashboard > wpForo > Settings > Colors and Styles, and insert in Custom CSS Codes Field.
