Hello, I guess I broke the plugin copying and pasting code and came across this helpful page through Google. Unfortunately the “fixit” link above doesn’t go right to the comment anymore. Can you post your solution here on this page please?
Thanks so much!

Hi Jason,
Ugh – what a pain! Sounds like the plugin added a piece of code to your template code that is making
all the type bold. You should be able to fix that by going in to your CSS code and taking a look.
I have stopped using the plugin because Thesis allows you to use a “hook” that acts just
like WWSGD but without the hassles of the buggy plugin. If you can’t find the extra code, I’d
do a search for the same problem across the web, and if I still didn’t find anything then I would
go to my pal Kristarella.com. She should be able to help you fix it.
Good Luck!

Hey Lisa, I’ve experienced a problem with the plugin and I think it may have something to do with what you’re talking about. I edited the message in the box so that the text would have bold font but it ended up making all the font on my homepage bold. I decided to deactivate and delete the plugin to fix it up, but the font on my homepage stayed bold!! Does this mean that the plugin actually edits the code in my wordpress templates and not just in the plugin itself?? In order to get my homepage back to normal I had to reinstall the plugin and keep it activated (but I check the button that makes it so the message doesn’t display). So effectively, I have to keep WWSGD activated but I can’t make use of any of the plugin! Do you have any suggestions for me? Thanks, jason.
