How to Bold Parent Category

This should do it.

#sidebar li.current-cat {
	font-weight: bold;
}

i’m a novice at css, I tried placing this code in a number of places but couldn’t get it to work. At one stage I ended up bolding everything. I’m just wanting the parent category bold…do you have another suggestion?? Thankyou for your help.

li.cat-item a {font-weight:bold;}
li.cat-item ul.children li.cat-item a {font-weight: normal;}

add it anywhere to style.css – probably best after the sidebar styles.

the first line sets all categories to bold; and the second line then sets the children back to normal.

Thankyou Alchymyth, it worked! Can I push it one step further and slightly indent the children category??

try to add something like:

li.cat-item ul.children {margin-left:10px;}
