Bear in mind that it can take 3-5 days for the favicon to start appearing.

Care to elaborate on this?

I see, it’s a child theme. Well, your parent theme’s CSS transforms text to uppercase.

Set text-transform: none; in your child theme then.

Capitalized is when the first letter of the word is changed to uppercase, the rest is left as it was. If you type aBc deF, capitalized text will be shown as ABc DeF.

You can add something like this to your style.css

#searchform .button {color: #000000; background-color: #ffffff;}
#searchform .button:hover, #searchform .button:focus {color: #000000; background-color: #cccccc;}
#s {color: #aaaaaa; background-color: #ffffff;}
#s:hover, #s:focus {color: #000000; background-color: #ffffff;}

First two will change the button’s styles, last two input field’s styles.

That meta line bellow is only going to be added to HTML if the page is a homepage (see elseif(is_home()) on the line above). So, I don’t think it’s a good idea to just remove the first meta line.

What he could do is replace

<?php if (is_single() || is_page() ) : if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<meta name="description" content="<?php the_excerpt_rss(); ?>" />
<?php endwhile; endif; elseif(is_home()) : ?>
<meta name="description" content="<?php bloginfo('description'); ?>" />
<?php endif; ?>

with just

<meta name="description" content="<?php bloginfo('description'); ?>" />

It’s due to error reporting being on on your live site and being off on your local install.

See if you have define('WP_DEBUG', false); in your wp-config.php

Also, see Configure Error Logging

Copy post.php from parent over to your child theme and delete the part you want.
