Expression Engine v2.4.0
Wgywam v2.5
When I try to italicize a word. The effects do not reflect on the live website. In the Wgywam editor the word is italicized though. I also tried to hard code a word in the template manager to be italicized but that did not work either.

Are you using a CSS global reset? Some third party resets cancel out italicising…

How would I know if I am using a CSS global reset?

Hi Success100,
Most CSS frameworks come with a reset.css file that is meant to set a baseline that is consistent across most browsers.
What html markup are you using for italics? Are you using a CSS framework?

There was a CSS Reset. I removed em and i from the list. Italics now works. Thank you.

Glad you found it.
Instead of removing em and i from the reset, you could have redeclared the styles, eg
em { font-style: italic; color: red; }
i { font-style: bold; color: yellow; }...but whatever works for you 😊
