Bold BBcode Not Working

[selkie]

For some reason, the default Bold bbcode

Code: Select all

[b]text[/b]

is not working at all. I can't seem to find a similar recent issue. We just upgraded from 3.2.7 to 3.3.7 and migrated to a new host, but everything else seems to be working normally.

The text does not disappear, and the tags do not show, but the text remains the same. I'm using the Milk v2 style, which is a paid style, but we were using the same style (just older version) on the old board and there were no issues with it then.

Thanks in advance

Check with prosilver and see if the bold tag works. If it does then the problem lies with Milk and you will need to get support from there

If the problem exists with prosilver please fill out the Support Request Template and post it back here to enable us to assist you better.

It works on prosilver, and after some testing I realized it only affects posts which use a custom Googlefonts BBCode. Here is the Support Request, but I think the issue lies with the Googlefonts bbcode.

BBCode Usage

Code: Select all

[googlefont={TEXT}]{TEXT2}[/googlefont]

HTML Replacement for the Googlefont BBCode

Code: Select all

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/webfont/1.6.26/webfont.js"></script>
<script>
  WebFont.load({
    google: {
      families: ['{TEXT}', 'Droid Serif']
    }
  });
</script><span style="font-family:{TEXT};">{TEXT2}</span>

Advanced BBCode Box

What happens if you disable that?

Hi
On my test forum without Advanced BBCode Box extension your BBCode work fine

Thanks for the replies.

I disabled the Advanced BBCode extension, but there's no change, the bold still doesn't work. It works when not used with text affected by the Googlefont. I checked a second forum, a local test forum with a few of the same extensions and the same version, and it also does not work there. I also deleted the data of the Advanced BBCode extension on the test forum just to make sure.

Hey everyone, I figured it out. It seemed to be a weird thing with the updated theme not interacting with Googlefonts properly, and they had an override for bold where it set

Code: Select all

b, strong {
    font-weight: 500;
}

and it works when it's set to

Code: Select all

b, strong {
    font-weight: bold;
}

You should report that to the author.

Also, nothing to do with this issue, you need to add a leading dot to your cookie domain. See Knowledge Base - Fixing incorrect cookie settings

Thank you, your post helped me solve a similar problem.
