Separators disappeared after switching to Twenty Ten theme

    I noticed after switching to the WordPress Twenty Ten theme (could have been before), that my separators were gone. In the linked page, the separator belongs after the phrase “I rest my case.”

    I tried inserting a <hr /> custom HTML for the separator, and that <hr /> appears in the page HTML, but I assume somewhere it’s styled somehow to be invisible. I tried adding a “horizontal rule” element in the old visual editor, but it was invisible. I tried adding a “separator” with the block editor, but again, it was invisible.

    I am not aware of any plug-in that alters text formatting. The ones I have are Akismet, Broken Link Checker (not active), Comet Cache, Hello Dolly (not active), Impostercide, Ninja Forms, Quote Comments, Ultimate Category Excluder, Use Google Libraries, Widgets on Pages, Wordfence Security, WP-Polls, XRDS-Simple.

    Site is WordPress 6.2.2 and all plug-ins have auto-updates enabled.

    I was switching from a commercial theme from Woo Commerce, Canvas, that broke with PHP 8.2. I have no idea what modifications have been made to that theme over the years to patch it up.

    I need a global solution because the blog has over 4,000 articles.

    I see the horizontal rule (<hr> tag or separator) on the page you provided. It’s faint, but it’s there nonetheless:

    Have you fixed this already? Or do you want to make the line thicker? Darker?

    Thank you again! It turns out that the line is essentially invisible on my older monitor, so rather than trying to make it thicker, I was trying to figure out how to make it not missing.

    At least for the <hr />, knowing what I was looking for made it easy to find the solution in existing forum topics.

    I added:

    hr {
    height: 2px;
    background: black;
    }

    to the Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS option. I knew to put it there because of your excellent answer to my other issue.
