make collection list titles not bold

Topic summary

A user applied custom CSS to make product titles bold on their Dawn theme store, but this unintentionally made collection list titles bold as well.

Proposed Solution:

  • Locate the CSS file (base.css or theme.css) in the theme editor
  • Add specific CSS to override the bold styling for collection list titles:
.collection-list__item .full-unstyled-link {
    font-weight: normal;
}

This targets only collection list titles while preserving the bold product titles. A responder also suggested using the EasyEdits app as an alternative solution for managing text styling without manual code editing.

It sounds like your custom code for bold product titles is also affecting your collection list titles. To fix this, you’ll need to adjust the CSS so it specifically targets the product titles without affecting the collection list titles.

  1. Open your Online Store > Themes > Edit Code.
  2. Locate the CSS file (usually base.css or theme.css) where you added the bold styling.
  3. Update the code to target only the product titles, excluding collection list titles. For example:
/* Make collection list titles normal */
.collection-list__item .full-unstyled-link {
    font-weight: normal;
}​
