Hiya @certifit ,

Check to see if the text or container it’s in (row/col/div/etc.) has any classes applied to it that may be overriding it. Specificity is typically a big culprit when something doesn’t work that we know should work (or we think should lol). 🙂

Post a screenshot of your HTML on this paragraph, and the CSS classes applied to the p Container when it’s highlighted.

Bootstrap uses `!important` on a lot of its classes, so if they have a font weight set on the `p` class with `!important`, it may not override a `<strong>` setting in the HTML (which is how the bold button bolds the text.

You were correct. Turns out p inherits from body that has font-weight: 200

Thanks
