 * Unfortunately, no. But, you could ask the theme author to make their functions
   [“pluggable”](http://codex.wordpress.org/Pluggable_Functions). Basically, they
   would wrap their functions in an `if` statement, like:
 *     ```
       if( ! function_exists('some_theme_function') ) {
           function some_theme_function() {
               // function code
           }
       }
       ```
   
 * That way, you could create a function `some_theme_function` in your child theme,
   overriding the parent’s function.
 * In the mean time, just comment out each parent function that you recreate in 
   your child theme, and remember to re-comment them out each upgrade.

 * Check your style.css. Comment out the `.site-header` (line 541) and `.site-content`(
   line 531) margin and padding declarations.

 * For those who want to understand why the “Missing Argument” error appears, see
   [this post](http://make.wordpress.org/core/2012/12/12/php-warning-missing-argument-2-for-wpdb-prepare/)
   from a core developer.
 * In a nutshell, any plugin/theme developers who write code using $wpdb->prepare()
   but only pass one argument are “doing it wrong”, as core developers like to say.

 * Thanks, Matt. Just a heads-up, you can update your “Compatible up to” in your
   plugin repo `readme.txt` and it won’t prompt your users to update. I recently
   updated a plugin of mine’s readme (in SVN, changing the “Compatible…” part only)
   and, as a test, installed a version that didn’t include the update. It doesn’t
   prompt me to update my plugin.
 * I’m pretty sure they’re only prompted if your version changes, but I could be
   wrong.

 * The `home/content/xx/xxxxxxxx/` is the private part of your site. `html/` is 
   your public root, equivalent to `www.your-domain.com/`. So ignore everything 
   before (and including) `html/`.

 * Please replace your paths listed with `/home/content/XX/XXXXXXXX/...`, the second
   numbers (8 digits) are unique to your hosting account. I don’t know if there’s
   a security risk or not, but better safe than sorry.
 * I’m not sure, but you could try uploading that file as well. But, since you were
   warned by your host that your site was infected, you should really _follow those
   links_ that Esmi listed above.

 * Thanks, Ipstenu. And sorry about the `modlook`…I thought this might be a “mod-
   worthy” question since it was related to these forums, kind of a _meta_ wordpress
   question. 🙂

 * Download a [copy of WordPress](http://wordpress.org/download/) to your computer
   and unzip it somewhere.
 * Log in to your [GoDaddy hosting account](https://hostingmanager.secureserver.net/Login.aspx).
   Click on the appropriate Hosting Account. On the ”’Hosting”’ tab, click ”’FTP
   File Manager”’ in the ”’Tools”’ section.
 * Navigate to `[your_wordpress_install]/wp-includes/`. Find `functions.php` (probably
   on page 3 in the upper-right area), right-click on it and rename to `functions.
   old.php` or whatever you want.
 * Now, click `Upload file`, `Browse`, and select `functions.php` from `[your downloaded
   WordPress]/wp-includes/`.
 * Hopefully you can now access your site. But, it sounds like you have to find 
   any malware on your site and remove it. That’s beyond my abilities, so hopefully
   someone else will come along to help you with that part of your problem.

 * I just added the `modlook` tag; I thought I added it originally. I apologize 
   in advance if I did add it and it was removed because a mod already looked. 🙂
