[Resolved] Bold text not displaying

[sevite]

Hello,

This is strange. Italic text is displaying but bold is not. When I look at edit in html it is set to so I tried <bold> and no difference. Here is the page where I noticed it, but I tried on a few other pages and it does not seem to be working anywhere. I turned off/on most of our plugins but not some that are active on our home page right now in the middle of a campaign.

Here is the page where first noticed: https://parvati.org/endorsements-2/
And here is code for the first section container with text, including both italic and bold. Italic is good in edit/preview/live. Bold is good in edit, does not show in preview or live.

<p>UN Messenger of Peace, Ocean Elder<br>“Humans have the most highly developed intellect of any species yet in the name of progress we are exploiting the natural resources of our planet and destroying the complex web of life with no thought for future generations. The oceans are not only rich in biodiversity, but also play a major role in regulating temperatures: we continue harming and polluting them at our peril. It is thus hugely important to establish the proposed Sanctuary for preserving the unique Arctic flora and fauna and thus helping to slow down climate change at this critical time.”</p>

Hi there,

you are ( or a plugin ) is using Bootstrap CSS which has added this to the frontend:

b, strong {
    font-weight: bolder;
}

And i kinda get the feeling that the bolder value is not very well supported.

Its one of the issues of adding bootstrap to a theme is you’re going to have conflicts. To overcome this you will need to add this CSS to your site:

b, strong {
    font-weight: 700 !important;
}

thank you SO much for this. I never would have figured it out. Now I have to figure out who added bootstrap and for what. I’ve had too many cooks in the kitchen which is not a good plan.

Unfortunately its being loaded from a CDN – and theres no handle to indicate if its a plugin that is making the request or a custom function. Hope you find out 🙂
