   Hi people.

   I'm trying to get bold text in the navigations menu at the top.

   Im trying with the folowing code.

   div#menu1 ul#rMenu { font-weight:800; }

   or

   div#menu1 ul#rMenu2 { font-weight:800; }

   or

   div#menu1 { font-weight:800; }

   Sadly none of these works. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

   Thx!

   It might be helpful to mention the theme or provide a link to your blog.

   Hi there.

   The theme is atahualpa as you can see in the tag :)

   The blog is http://testdummies.dk

   Ahh ... Atahualpa CSS inserts, this was my last run at them:

   http://wordpress.org/support/topic/319473

   It is the basics for adding CSS ...

   Try adding this:
   

   div#menu1 ul.rMenu li a {font-weight:800;}

   1. Go to the theme options page
   2. Near the bottom click on "Add HTML/CSS inserts"
   3. Go to the bottom of that option page for "CSS Inserts"
   4. Add: div#menu1 ul.rMenu li a {font-weight:800;}
   5. Click on the HUGE Save Changes button

   The menu looks quite involved from a CSS standpoint but this should bold all the entries. You will have to test to your own liking.

   Hey man,

   Thanks for the help. Sadly I had to define it for each state as it seems they overwrite it for some reason. So my code ended up being like this.

   div#menu1 ul.rMenu li a:active {
   font-weight:800;
   }
   div#menu1 ul.rMenu li a:link {
   font-weight:800;
   }
   div#menu1 ul.rMenu li a:hover {
   font-weight:800;
   }
   div#menu1 ul.rMenu li a:visited {
   font-weight:800;
   }

   Anyone have any ideas for how I can make this a bit more shorter?

   Ok figured it out myself.

   div#menu1 ul.rMenu li a:active,
   div#menu1 ul.rMenu li a:link,
   div#menu1 ul.rMenu li a:hover,
   div#menu1 ul.rMenu li a:visited {
   font-weight:800;
   }

   Any ideas for making it even shorter?

   If you have to specify each state then that looks to be about as short as you will get ... although I would imagine you should be able to delete the 'hover' element.

   Technically it should be in the order - 'link, visited, hover, active' (LoVe/HAte) but I do not believe that is of significance in this case given your experiences with the theme.

   You could try re-arranging the order and then removing each element from the last to the first until you "lose" the effect you want.

   Awesome, thanks for the input. I'll keep that in mind.
