Bold Text

  • [ Moderator note: moved to Fixing WordPress. ]

    Is there a code that would allow me to bold the linkable words I use in my blog posts automatically for every post?
    My website is https://www.kiteenscloset.com and for example, in the phrase “you can find this jacket HERE” I would like “here” to be bold and all other underlined links in all of my posts.
    I am not very tech savvy so would need a step by step instruction if there is a way to do this. Thanks in advance!

    Basically, this CSS will do it

    .post-entry a {
   font-weight:bold;
}

    To add CSS: If you are using WordPress 4.7, use the “Custom CSS” option in the customizer. If your theme has a custom CSS option, use that to add the CSS shown above. If not, install the plugin Simple Custom CSS. Or, if you have Jetpack installed, enable its Custom CSS module.

    Learn the Chrome Developer Tools to help you see and test changes to your CSS.

    thanks so much! so.. this might be a dumb question but if my theme has the CSS option (which it does) that means I do not have to copy and paste that code into each blog post right? I just enter it in the CSS customize text window??

    Also how does this code know to only bold the items that are clickable?? Just trying to get a better grasp on CSS. Thanks again!

    CSS is global, not entered in each post.

    the “a” selector targets links.
