Advanced layout editor / text size control

Ie, I have several section headers I would like to be larger:

Right! I would usually use heading elements but the option for them seems to have gone away…is there some control I don’t know about that can fix this?

Thanks yes, but like I said, the header element is no longer visible in either the default or advanced editor…see screenshot: http://ld113.inmotionhosting.com/~medita15/meditateinhollywood.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/screenshot.jpg

So I was just looking into doing that based on your previous message. My WordPress version is already 3.8, but I am having trouble finding a way to update Enfold; on WordPress, my “Enfold theme options” does not appear the way it does on the link you provided – there is nothing about updating, instead it talks about “updating dummy content” then goes into “front page settings”, “logo” etc…no where do I see update options.

Gah. Dead end. #1, I don’t have the theme forest login info, #2, no idea how to update via FTP once I get the info from colleague on Monday. Guess this is a whole new troubleshooting project. I just don’t understand, I had access to the header drop down menu when I was working on this site a couple weeks ago….a bug I suppose. Welp, sounds like updating is the only solution?

Thanks much. Once I get the login info, I’ll check this out…looking forward to having some design control again! Best wishes…Elaine

Thanks for the plugin tips jtree5757, and thanks Peter for the FTP explanation – great to finally have better understanding around this. I’m currently waiting to find out if the original website creator made any changes to CSS before I go ahead and update; I’ve gathered that if any changes were made to the theme and I go ahead and update it without addressing those changes, I’ll be dealing with a whole other can of glitchy worms…right?

Thanks Yigit. I just learned that the only CSS changes that were made were to increase the logo/header size. Im guessing that a child theme was not created. So, please tell me if I’ve got this straight: moving forward I should reinstall the theme via FTP, after which I will find that the logo doesn’t fit, and to address that, I will need to create a child theme in which I can modify the header image size…yes/no?

So I’ve finally updated the theme. But one of the issues that caused me to update it at your recommendation – not being able view headline options in the advanced layout editor – is still an issue, i.e., I still cannot view headline options and thus cannot control text size. Help?

Smooth sailing, NOT. When I returned to make another change to a post I had just edited, the “visual” aspect of editing was no longer visible (my original problem). I remembered that someone above had recommended I try deactivating any text-related plugins and that doing this had corrected the visual editor, so I tried that again with the new plugin tree recommended and my visual editor is again visible. BUT now Im back to the problem of not having ANY text size control because the headline bar is gone again – IE, upgrading the theme did not fix this issue, and my alternate solution doesn’t allow visual editing. PLEASE ADVISE.

Thanks for replying, though, had you completely read my message, you could have saved us both the trouble of responding to something irrelevant. I stated that “Im back to the problem of not having ANY text size control BECAUSE THE HEADLINE BAR IS GONE AGAIN.”

Since the upgrade didn’t return the HEADLINE element to its natural place, I went and tried a plug-in which DID offer me the headline element and more, BUT THEN I lost the ability to view the visual aspect of the advanced layout editor.

So I’ve DEACTIVATED the plug-in and thus REGAINED the visual aspect of editor, but I’ve LOST the HEADLINE ELEMENT and this project has been held up for WEEKS over this.
