[SOLVED] Bolding only working in Chrome, not showing as bold in IE or Firefox

Any idea why text that has been clearly bolded in the editor of a post, once published, only shows bolded for Chrome and not IE or Firefox?

It sounds like a validation error that Chrome is making the right guess about but the other browsers aren't. Did you validate your code?

I had that same problem. The issues with IE are ridiculous. I changed the process of how I was making the content bold by using all CSS and not just and HTML < strong > tag.

Thanks everyone, I discovered the problem.

The editor by default is using <b> tags and not <strong> tags to indicate bolding.

I was able to fix the issue by adding the following CSS to the site CSS override.

strong, b {
font-weight: bold;
}

Thanks, sorry!
