 * Whoa! That’s quite a problem!
 * It seems most of your HTML have been set widths of `1` to `5` pixels.
    Could 
   you disable plugins to explore whether any could be responsible?

 * Yes, please. Try deactivating that to see whether anything cool happens. You 
   can always reactivate it afterwards.

 * Okay, nevermind.

   that’s causing the havoc. Scroll down to the bottom where you see “_/* =WIDTHS_“.

 * Hmm, it seems the original theme has this stylesheet on [its demo website](http://wp-themes.com/wp-content/themes/bitlumen/style.php).
   Sorry, I’m not familiar with that theme and I don’t know the answer to the issue.
