I’m using the Vantage template and when editing text in Visual mode, I highlight the text and click Bold but it doesn’t take. Can’t bold any text at all.

Hi Deborah
Thanks for running Vantage.
Page Builder transitions content over to the regular Visual and Text tabs to help plugins like WordPress SEO that look at those areas for information. Page Builder content is however only editable in Page Builder.
To handle rich text formatting in Page Builder install: http://wordpress.org/plugins/black-studio-tinymce-widget/ and then insert the Visual Editor widget.
Hope that helps.
I think Black Studio TinyMCE widget is just for the sidebar. My site has not sidebars. When I tried to use it the text was formatted to a narrow column.
PS I’m not working in Page Builder mode when I highlight and then bold the type but using both the Visual Editor and the Text Editor. Neither holds the bold!
Please send through a link and I’ll take a look.

I’m trying to bold the text at the bottom of the Why page that says $49 ANNUALLY and just can’t get the change to hold. I added 2 items to custom CSS as I thought maybe the CSS was resetting my changes:
/* correct issue text format not working */
@import url(http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Lato:700);
}
/* fix for text that won’t bold */
strong { font-weight: bold; }
Super, thanks for the extra info. Apologies for the delay on your email ticket, we’re experiencing an usually high workload at the moment. I’ll go-ahead and close your email ticket. We’re a small team if you could please use either email or the forum for support requests, that would help us avoid duplication of information.
The challenge you’re facing is that the body font is already 700 weight, so the only weight above that is 900 in this font family:

Try changing the CSS import to:
And then change your strong selector in Custom CSS to:
strong { font-weight: 900 !important; }Hopefully that’ll do the trick.
Actually it was just the Lato font and the custom CSS says Lato. I also tried it with Lucinda Grand and still no bold or italics.
Is there a plugin like Black a Studio TinyMSE that works besides in the sidebar?
Please send through a set of temporary login details to [email protected] if you haven’t done so already and I’ll take a look a little later this evening.
Visual Editor is the only TinyMCE compatible with Page Builder that we currently know of.
Please also check the Custom CSS Lato 900 import, it’s incorrect above and should read:
Thanks.
I figured out a work around.
I used the Visual Editor to format a bulleted list, clicked on Text Editor, copied that code, went into Page Builder (where the change did not appear) and pasted it in.
It worked for bullets on 8 items on the bottom of page:
