Why can’t a heading font weight be changed from what’s specified in the typography options. For some reason it can’t only be changed in the heading options, but some headings need to be a different font weight. Can you help with this?
Hello @w3developing,
Thanks for asking. 
If you trying to change the font weight property of custom headline, then you can change the same from Text Format > Font Weight.
However, if you are looking to change font weight of Post Title, then you can add following CSS under Pro > Theme Options > CSS:
body:not(.home) .x-main .entry-title {
font-weight: 600;
}
If you would like to learn CSS, I am sharing few resources that you take a look to get started with CSS and an interesting tool that you can use to speed up the development process.
I recommend you to watch following video that will help you to get started with CSS.
Sometimes it can get a bit difficult to find out the right selector to be able to write the required CSS codes. A handy tool that can help you in this is Google Chrome dev tools. I am sharing the resource that you can refer to get started with dev tools.

Thanks.
Unfortunately, the following CSS isn’t working. Just to make the difference obvious. I changed the font-weight from the 600 that you posted to 400. Please inspect “Internal Medicine.” You’ll notice that the assigned font-weight is set to 400; however, it doesn’t show as 400. No matter what, it stays as 700 (bold).
Do you have any way around this?
body:not(.home) .x-main .entry-title {
font-weight: 400;
}
Hello @w3developing,
Thanks for updating the thread.
Please replace previous code with following:
body:not(.home) .x-main .entry-title {
font-family: 'Bitter', serif !important;
font-weight: 400 !important;
}
Let us know how it goes.
Thanks.
Ok, so that only allows me to make the font bold or not bold (weight 400 and 700) but only for a different font. Unfortunately, this does not fix the issue because I need to be using the font that’s set as the header font and be able to change the font weight to ones besides 400 and 700.
Do you have any other ideas? This might just be a bug that needs to be fixed.
Hello There,
Once you set the font weight of the headings in the Typography, only the selected font weight will be loaded in the page.
Selected font weight in Typography > Headings:
What is loaded in the page:
It is best that you select the font weight for the general settings and if ever you want a different font weights in other certain areas like in a custom headlines within the content, please make use of the default headline font settings instead:
Hope this explains it briefly.
Does this mean that I have to disable the heading on every page and use the page builder to work around this? Is there a better way to do this because that’s not going to work out well.
It seems that I would have to set the heading font to a font that I don’t want, then use the CSS style sheet to set Poppins as the font to use which only gives me the option of bold or not bold. Is there a way to disable that heading setting, so I can have in between font weights?
Hello @w3developing,
Thanks for updating the thread.
Unfortunately, in your case you will have to make the necessary changes using custom CSS. Here are few resources that you can take a look.
