 * I’m using this short-code:
    `[testimonials_cycle random="true" count='11' theme
   ='default_style' use_excerpt='0' show_thumbs='1' transition='fadeout' timer='
   8000' pager='1']`
 * and I’m trying to remove italics from everything except the actual testimonial
   quote:
 *     ```
       p.easy_testimonial_title{
       font-style: normal; font-weight: bold;
       }
   
       p.testimonial-client{
       font-style: normal; font-weight: bold;
       }
   
       p.testimonial-position{
       font-style: normal; font-weight: bold;
       }
   
       p.testimonial_author{
       font-style: normal; font-weight: bold;
       }
       ```
   
 * …but while font accepts the bold style, it remains steadfastly italic. What am
   I doing wrong?

 * Hello!
 * If you use a tool like Firebug, you can tell if your styles are being overridden
   by something else.
 * To prevent this, you can always throw !important in there — for example p.testimonial_author{
   font-style: normal !important; } — that will prevent it from being overridden,
   if that is the issue.
 * Best,
    Richard

 * Hi Richard, thanks for your suggestions. I’ve now got:
 *     ```
       p.easy_testimonial_title{
       font-style: normal !important; font-weight: bold;
       }
   
       p.testimonial-client{
       font-style: normal; font-weight: bold;
       }
   
       p.testimonial-position{
       font-style: normal !important; font-weight: bold;
       }
   
       p.testimonial_author{
       font-style: normal !important; font-weight: bold;
       }
   
       p.testimonial_client_name{
       font-style: normal !important; font-weight: bold;
       }
   
       p.testimonial_client_company_name
       {
       font-style: normal !important; font-weight: bold;
       }
       ```
   
 * …but sadly it hasn’t made a difference – they’re all still italic.
 * I had a look at firebug – it looks a little overwhelming. Where in it would I
   be able to see what is being over-ridden? Would it be obvious also using the 
   inspect element thing in chrome? Not sure what I’m looking for.

 * Hey KCMuppet!
 * That’s not something I can really answer succinctly — You’ll want to see which
   style is applying italic to your fonts, and then use a more specific CSS targeting
   method to override it. You’ll need some familiarity with CSS to undertake this,
   for sure.
 * Chrome’s Inspector, or any other, would work too — I personally prefer Firebug.
 * I hope you’re able to get it working optimally!
 * All the best,
    Richard

 * OK…well thing thing is, I don’t have any other italic fonts anywhere on the site…

 * Hey Kcmuppet!
 * Just because you don’t see them elsewhere doesn’t mean there isn’t CSS making
   it italic! Something has to be 🙂
 * We don’t italicize anything in the base plugin — our Pro themes have some more
   advanced styling, out of the box. Are you using one of our Pro themes? If so,
   go ahead and send an e-mail to [hello@goldplugins.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/font-style-css/hello@goldplugins.com?output_format=md)
   and someone will help you get it sorted.
 * All the best,
    Richard
