How to shrink the font size of the course title in the side bar

Apr 24, 2019

The title of my course is Communication Skills 1:  Presenting Yourself.  In the side bar, the word Communication doesn't fit (the n wraps to the next line as you can see in the attached screenshot).  How can I shrink the font size so the whole word fits?

Shrinking the font size of the course title in the sidebar typically involves making adjustments to the CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) of your website or learning management system (LMS). Here's a general guide on how you can do this:

  1. Access the CSS: Log in to your website or LMS admin panel and navigate to the area where you can edit the CSS code. This may vary depending on the platform you're using. Look for options like "Customize," "Theme Editor," or "Custom CSS."

  2. Identify the Course Title Element: Use your browser's developer tools to inspect the course title element in the sidebar. Right-click on the course title and select "Inspect" or "Inspect Element." This will show you the HTML markup and CSS styles applied to the course title.

  3. Adjust the Font Size: Once you've identified the CSS class or ID associated with the course title, you can adjust the font size. Look for properties like font-size in the CSS code. You can decrease the font size by specifying a smaller value.
