  Try to make that in Visual Mode.

  In text mode you cant make that it will automatically rendered to tag results. like if you had include <b>bold</b> than it will directly give you the result,. that is bold.

  So try to include your tag in “Visual Mode”

  <b>bold</b> is deprecated. The tag you should be using is <strong>strong</strong>

  HTML tags are added in the Text Editor tab. Also in Text Editor tab you can use the buttons at the top of the editing box to add basic HTML tags.

  Here’s a list of all the allowed HTML tags on WordPress.com https://en.support.wordpress.com/code/#html-tags

  Let us know if you need more help with that.

  I apologize, I spoke too quickly. I checked on my test site using Lovecraft and did not have any problem creating bold text with both the B tag and the STRONG tag in the Text tab of the Post Editor.

  However, looking at your site I’m seeing some odd spacing issues within your posts. Is it possible that you are creating your posts offline in a word processor, like MSWord, and then copying/pasting them into the WordPress editor?
