Why are my WordPress articles in bold? The fix

Have you ever opened up your WordPress site and noticed that all of your articles are appearing in bold? This can be incredibly frustrating, especially when you have no idea why it’s happening or how to fix it. The good news is that you’re not alone – many WordPress users have encountered this issue at some point or another. Here’s how to fix it!

The fix

If you’ve posted an article and the content appears bold, the culprit is usually the <Strong> tag. This can happen when copying text from a different source such as Microsoft Word. Also, check your post title to see if it has the <strong> tag. To fix the issue, delete the tag and the post should be formatted properly. You can also inspect the code to see if the theme is causing this.

Below are other reasons why text in articles may appear bold

There are several potential reasons why your WordPress articles might be appearing in bold, and the solution will depend on the specific cause of the problem. Here are some steps you can try to troubleshoot and fix the issue:

  1. Check your theme’s CSS stylesheet: It’s possible that the bold appearance is being caused by a styling rule in your theme’s stylesheet. To check this, go to your themes Editor in your WordPress dashboard and look for any rules that might be affecting the font-weight of your articles. If you can’t find the CSS of your theme, you can install a CSS plugin editor such as this one to inspect. Another simple way to inspect the CSS of your theme is to use the web inspector tool of your browser. You can also try switching to a different theme to see if the problem persists.
  2. Check for plugin conflicts: Another possible cause of the problem could be a plugin that is conflicting with your theme or another plugin. Try deactivating all of your plugins, then reactivating them one by one to see if the problem is resolved when a specific plugin is activated.
  3. Check for formatting issues: It’s possible that the problem is caused by formatting issues within your articles. Try editing the affected articles and removing any formatting that might be causing the bold appearance.
  4. Check for CSS customizations: If you made any customizations to your site’s CSS, these could be causing the problem. Try removing any custom CSS code to see if the issue is resolved.

If none of these steps resolve the issue, it might be a good idea to seek help from a WordPress developer or from the support team of your theme or plugin. They will be able to help you identify and fix the problem.

What does <strong> mean in WordPress?

In WordPress, the <strong> tag is used to indicate text that should be displayed in a bold font. This tag is similar to the <b> tag, however, the <strong> tag is considered to be more semantically correct because it indicates that the text has strong importance or emphasis, rather than simply being styled as bold.

For example, you might use the <strong> tag to emphasize a word or phrase in a blog post or webpage:

<p>The <strong>quick brown fox</strong> jumps over the lazy dog.</p>

This would display the text “quick brown fox” in bold.

You can also use the <strong> tag in combination with other HTML tags, such as the <a> (anchor) tag, to create links with bold text:

<p>Click <a href="http://example.com"><strong>here</strong></a> to visit our website.</p>

This would display the text “here” as a link with bold text.

Don’t give up

With some troubleshooting and a little bit of detective work, it’s usually easy to identify and fix the issue. Before messing with plugins or your theme’s code, make sure to check if your content is formatted properly or if there’s a <strong> tag in the heading.
