What exactly are you entering in your text widget? Please remember to enclose your markup in backticks or use the code button so that the forum’s parser doesn’t touch it.
For example:
<strong>Chair: </strong>
Your theme (Canvas) has reset the <strong></strong>
markup tag to font-weight:normal
(I do wish themes wouldn’t do this *sigh*). so you now have to explicitly set it back to font-weight:bold
in your sidebar widget areas. As you are using a commercial theme, you need to seek support from the theme’s developer/vendor as to where to add this new CSS. We do not support commercial themes here.
Thanks so much for your help esmi – I will follow through with your advice.
