Hi,
thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
You have two options for this, depending on how much text you want to bold.
The easy way is to wrap the text in HTML <strong> tags, e.g.
<strong>This will be bold.</strong>
You can type this in or use the button in the “Advanced Editor” (reachable via the button below the table input fields or by holding the “Shift” key while clicking into a cell).
The second option is to use CSS code, which works best when you want to make entire rows or columns bold. For example, you could add this to the “Custom CSS” textarea on the “Plugin Options” screen of TablePress to make the entire second column of table 123 bold:
.tablepress-id-123 .column-2 {
font-weight: bold;
}

Hi Tobias,
I have a similar but opposite problem: the text in the description field appears in bold without me having done any formatting. What makes it even stranger is that it only happens in the English version of the page (rimpelconsult.nl/en/pricing-test) and not in the Dutch equivalent (rimpelconsult.nl/nl/prijzen).
What can be the reason for this?
Pieter
Hi Pieter,
unfortunately, I couldn’t check https://rimpelconsult.nl/en/pricing-test/ as it only return a “Not found” error 🙁 Is this really a published page?

Tobias
I also noticed that the line-up of the columns is lost in the English version….
sorry, i could see it as a draft. I wil add it as a pubished page now.
Hi,
thanks! Now I can see it!
This is caused by missing closing </strong> tags.
For example, there’s’
<strong>020 - 423 13 03
somewhere in your page, which is missing </strong> at the end.
There are also extra <strong> and </strong> tags in the first row of the table, which need to be completed or removed.
To align the column, you’ll have to add “Custom CSS” again, with the proper page ID for this page, which is 19724.

You are super!
Stupid of me not to think about the fact that the css adaptations were only for one page!
Now everything works fine.
I already gave you a 5 star rating and add one extra now.
Pieter
Hi,
no problem, you are very welcome! 🙂 Good to hear that this helped!
Best wishes,
Tobias
Hi Tobias,
Can you do it for a row as well? what is the code?
Hi,
to make a row bold, you can use
.tablepress-id-123 .row-2 td {
font-weight: bold;
}

Tobias
So I am relatively new to this.
When I bold text in an post (not a table, just in a paragraph) it looks fine until I display it. Then it is bold but it is slightly superscripted and shifted to the right. If there is not bold text next to it, it often displays over the top.
Here is an example:
positions? That is less than 1%. Did you know that only 11 of the positions are paid positions? Three elected positions are paid full time (First Selectman, Town Clerk and Tax Collector) and eight elected positions are paid part time. The rest of the elected positions and all the appointed positions are done by residents who are willing to step up, volunteer their time and talents, and serve the town and their fellow residents – <u>to serve you</u>.
Hi @johnmccartney6,
I’m afraid that all this layout/styling of bold text in a regular paragraph is governed by your theme. I can therefore only suggest to ask the theme developers about this.
I can not help here in the TablePress forums 🙁 Sorry and thanks for your understanding.

Tobias
HI
When im edit my page with “WP Edit” and using “BOLD” button, it NOT bold text on my publish page, just normal text.
(its the same when im trying “em” – not on my publis page)
What is wrong.
Best Regards

Hi,
what you describe could be caused by CSS code in your theme. Now, as you don’t mention TablePress specifically (but posted in the TablePress support forums), I assume that this is more of a problem of the WP Edit plugin or your theme.
I can therefore only suggest that you ask in the corresponding support forums.
Regards,
Tobias
