How can I adjust product description text size in Erickson Theme?

Store Design
,

Topic summary

A user needed to reduce the product description text size in the Erickson Theme, as the minimum available setting (12) was too large.

Initial Solutions Attempted:

  • Adding CSS code to base.css, style.css, or theme.css files
  • The user’s theme didn’t contain these standard files
  • Alternative attempts with app.css and component-product-details.css also failed

Working Solution:
PageFly-Richard provided a successful fix by adding custom CSS directly to the theme.liquid file:

  1. Navigate to: Online Stores > Themes > More Actions > Edit code
  2. Click on theme.liquid
  3. Paste CSS code above the </head> tag

The CSS targets .product-overview__text p with a custom font-size (16px in the example).

Status: Resolved - The user confirmed the solution worked perfectly.

Hi @IulianManea

Try this one, if it doenst work please share your store URL. Thanks!

From your Shopify admin dashboard, click on “Online Store” and then “Themes”.

Find the theme that you want to edit and click on “Actions” and then “Edit code”.

In the “Assets” folder, click on “base.css, style.css or theme.css” file, depending on which file your theme uses to store its CSS styles. At the bottom of the file, add the following CSS code:

.product-overview__text p {
    font-size: 16px !important;
}

And Save.

Result:
