Zeno Font Resizer

Descripción

This plugin allows you to give the visitors of your site the option to change the font size of your text.

Features:

  • Uses JavaScript and jQuery to set the fontsize.
  • Settings are saved in a cookie, so the visitor sees the same fontsize on a revisit.
  • Admin page to set which content is being resized, the resize steps and other options.
  • There is a classic widget.
  • Alternatively, you can add PHP code to a template in your theme, preferably a child theme.
  • Simple and Lightweight.

This plugin is a fork of font-resizer with many bugfixes applied and features added.

Compatibility

This plugin is compatible with ClassicPress.

Contributions

This plugin is also available in Codeberg.

Instalación

  1. Upload the directory zeno-font-resizer to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory or install the plugin directly with the ‘Install’ function in the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
  2. Activa el plugin a través del menú de ‘Plugins’ de WordPress.
  3. Add the sidebar widget through the ‘Appearance / Widgets’ menu in WordPress.
  4. If you don’t want to use the widget, you can use the template code somewhere in your template. Please check the FAQ.
  5. Define which content should be resized on the ‘Zeno Font Resizer’ admin page (optional). If you are not familiar with html and css, select the html option (default). This would resize all the content of your site.

FAQ

How can I activate the function of the plugin?

Go to the admin page of the plugin and select your option. If you are not familiar with html and css, select the html option (default). This would resize all the content of your site.

I click the resizer, but (some of) my fonts don’t change in size.

The plugin expects the CSS of your theme to be set up in a flexible way. When you have a static font-size like 14px or 14pt for your menu or content elements, this will not be affected by the plugin. This way of using font-size is maybe pixel-perfect for the designer, but not accessible for the user, so you should only use it for design elements, like a text overlay for an image.

When you use a percentage, like 100% or 124%, it is dynamic and will follow (inherit) the font-size of the parent (and so up).
The same dynamic counts for setting in em.

I use font-size in rem in my theme, what do I do?

The font-size in rem is relative to the font-size of the root element. So you can go to the Settingspage of this plugin,
and set the html element as the element to change the font-size of (default since 1.4.4). Now your rem elements should follow the resizing.

How can I use the plugin without the widget?

Use this snippet of PHP code (in your theme or somewhere):

<?php
    if (function_exists('zeno_font_resizer_place')) {
        zeno_font_resizer_place();
    }
?>

How can I use the template code and do stuff with it?

You can use the parameter ‘$echo = false’ and the function will return the html-string:

<?php
    if (function_exists('zeno_font_resizer_place')) {
        $font_resizer = zeno_font_resizer_place( false );
        // do stuff with $font_resizer...
    }
?>

How can I change the color of the A’s?

With CSS in your theme.
Use something like:

p.zeno_font_resizer > a {
    color: blue;
}

On the widget I see text meant for screen-readers.

Your theme is missing some necessary CSS for ‘.screen-reader-text’. Please contact the maker of your theme.
More information can be found in the Handbook about Accessibility.

I want to use a shortcode in my content element

There is an additional plugin on Codeberg you can use for that.

I injected the PHP fragment using the plugin Head, Footer and Post Injections In the “posts” / “just before content”, section, it works like a charm enabling my users to actually see a theme that is genuinely responsive, so many that claim to be responsive, break up words, when they just shouldn’t. Giving the end user the ability to choose their own font size genuinely makes my current theme much more responsive, regardless of which client, OS or guess of both my site thinks its being rendered on… My only one teeny gripe, I’d love to be able to put a simple label just before the triple A that’s used to adjust the font size, while it should be configurable, I think I’d go for something like “For your comfort please do change the font size:” (the triple A is nicely centered with the content so there is plenty of room for a label) Good solid working plugin, just does what it says, the only complication is how you inject it, but then there is even available a short code plugin for it. I wanted an option I wouldn’t forget to add to each post (I don’t like side bars – messes with responsiveness) So injecting it with another plugin just works like a charm – but do be careful with injections, get it wrong and you might need to ftp in and disable the plugin, but then with anything that modifies a theme on the fly, that can always happen.

So much so, .. That I’ve incorporated it into my site and heavily hacked it with header messages and pretty href links, which also means that I’ll never be able to upgrade it without taking the code apart. But it really is worth the trouble. The plugin is so simple to work, and it gives your users such a powerful tool in viewing your amusing ditties, (well I think they’re amusing), and now the users can’t moan that the font size is too small or too big; they can now set the text size that they are comfortable in reading. Seriously, click on the aAA widget and the text inside the DIVs gets bigger or smaller, with even the cookies being taken care of, and what that means: is it’s prefect for theme developers to play with. There are other options for non-themers to get the text to grown or shrink. User side wise: there is a short-code version, and also a PHP hack to put it wherever you want on your site, but I just physically worked it into my sidebar. Highly recommended.
