    Hey there,

    I am having an issue with italics not appearing in the text of a post i’m working on. The italics do appear on the dashboard and in previews, however on the actual website they are not showing up.

    Is there anyone that can help me resolve this problem?
    Here is a link to the specific post:

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Hello kardosh,

    Try adding into your css the code below:

    p.italic {
font-style: italic;
}

    Also, you can include the text within <em> </em> tags.

    Think I see the problem, expanding on jakedohm:

    em {
font-style: italic;
}

    should work. Your <em> tags are essentially inheriting a default style.

    Just add the code from @telemetric straight into your custom.css file. I just did that via inspect element and it worked perfectly.

    Oh yeah, I should have looked at the code. This CSS overrides the em tag’s normal italics:

    html, body, div, span, applet, object, iframe,
h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, p, blockquote, pre,
a, abbr, acronym, address, big, cite, code,
del, dfn, em, font, img, ins, kbd, q, s, samp,
small, strike, strong, sub, sup, tt, var,
dl, dt, dd, ol, ul, li,
fieldset, form, label, legend,
table, caption, tbody, tfoot, thead, tr, th, td, textarea {
	margin: 0;
	padding: 0;
	border: 0;
	outline: 0;
	font-style: inherit;
	font-size: 100%;
	font-family: inherit;
	vertical-align: baseline;
}

    Thank you all so much! Problem solved 🙂
    The CSS was indeed overriding the normal tags for italics, it was just a matter of going in and manually entering the proper code (i)

    Cheers!
