Hi Wes!

I’d like to make my post (and page) titles stand out more by bolding them… how can I do that across the board? I’d also want to play with the font, if that’s possible.

Thanks,
Scott

Hi Scott,

Take a look around line 236 in your style.css –
```
/* ## Headings
--------------------------------------------- */

h1,
h2,
h3,
h4,
h5,
h6 {
	font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif;
	font-weight: 600;
	line-height: 1.2;
	margin: 0 0 20px;
}
```
Or you can copy/paste the above code to your Custom CSS section if you prefer not to edit the theme files directly.

Let me know if this helps.

Hi Wes,

I did not get it to work.

I made the change in the theme files directly, the only change being the font weight from 300 to 600. It does not seem to make any difference. I tried it at 900 as well.

Although my intention is to bold the titles, I tested it with an H1 inside the post also, just to see if it works. Still, no difference. Of course I can bold the H1 text inside the post if I choose to, but I have no way to bold the title in the editor. Is there anything else I can try? I changed the weight back to 300 for now.

Here’s what it looked like when I added it in – https://i.postimg.cc/NMSCgnLY/Screen-Shot-2019-06-04-at-2-16-10-PM.png

Is that how you wanted it to look?

Also, when you made the change did you Reload the page using the Reload button? That should clear your browser cache so it shows the latest changes.

Yes Wes, that is how I want it to look. I tried it again, and it still did not work. Turns out that it does not seem to work in Chrome (which I am using), but it does work in Firefox and in IE. Would you know why that is happening? I did clear the browser cache.

I was using Chrome when I did it. It’s probably just browser cache.

If you want me to add it in for you just let me know. I’ll get it working for sure. I would just need a temporary login.

Hey Wes,

I just realized that it is working now in Chrome! And it looks great!!
I must have NOT properly cleared the cache before.

Thank you!
Scott
