Bold font in h1, h2, h3 titles - 92590

Question

I need help in finding out how to get a bold font in Elegant theme in WordPress, but only in the heading areas (h1, h2, h3 etc), since I have no problem getting it in the text body.

I've tried, even though in the editor I'm getting bold headings, it's not the case once I publish the page, no matter what changes I make.

I'm including the code (not full but the part that matters) - none of the changes in 'h1' area are reflected once published, not even the font type, except the size. I'm not a coder so maybe there's something I'm missing. Please, help:

Answer 1

Try CSS font-weight Property Values as:

h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6 {

  font-weight:100;

}

You can adjust values from 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800 to 900. The property value as 900 is the thickest and 100 is the lightest.

Answer 2

Try adding

h1{
font-weight: bold;
}

to your external css file, or substitute your

<h1> your text here </h1>

with

<h1 style="font-weight: bold"> your text here </h1> 

Answer 3

Try adding

h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6 {

  font-weight:100;
}

Your HTML code,

<h1> your text here </h1>
<h2> your text here </h2>
<h3> your text here </h3>
<h4> your text here </h4>
<h5> your text here </h5>
<h6> your text here </h6>

Code example result,

h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6 {

  font-weight:900;

}

<h1> your text here </h1>
<h2> your text here </h2>
<h3> your text here </h3>
<h4> your text here </h4>
<h5> your text here </h5>
<h6> your text here </h6>

You can adjust the values from 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800 to 900. Property value is 900 as solid and 100 as light.
