Font size setting desired
It would be great to set the font sizes. This for single posts pages and in the archives/overview (where it is very small and difficult to read for older people). But the plugin does work great other
No longer supported as of WP 5
Subtitles disappeared from editor after WP update. No way to transfer them out of the plugin except by manual copy and paste.
