I see what you mean, but can’t tell what’s causing it to be cut off. You’re right, overflow:hidden would do it, but the only overflow:hidden declaration I have in Straight Up is for paging navigation (which doesn’t affect your issue).

Does it behave the same with a default theme, such as Twenty Twelve?

Where are you getting the Like button from? Is it in Jetpack, another plugin, or an embed code from Facebook or somewhere else?

If it’s a chunk of code, please post it to pastebin and also let me know where you’re including it in the theme.

Hi,

Bold is working on the theme, it’s just not as heavy as you may expect. The default font has a weight of 300, so I’ve made the “bold” 400 (subtle, but there).

For a more typical, heavy bold, you have a few options:

• Change line 287 of style.css from 400 to 700. You’ll have to do this every time you update the theme.
• Make a child theme, and put the above changes in that, so that they’re not overwritten by theme updates.
• If you’re using the Jetpack plugin (and I highly recommend it), add the code under Appearances > Edit CSS in your admin. These changes will also persist through theme updates.

For options 2 or 3, the code block to use would be:

b, strong {
	font-weight: 700;
}
