In reply to: Styles are gone??I figured it out when I looked closely at the name. Do you have a backup of the site,AND within your custom css do you still have your css customization available to copy? If so, copy the css snippets you created and save them in a text file on your computer.

In reply to: Problem with a "Blank Page"If you have a cache plugin, try deactivating it before making changes, also clear the cache on your browser. When done, then re-activate your cache plugin.

In reply to: warning dangerous siteYou should go the support for whatever anti-malware plugin your installed. Without more information such as a site-link or what plugin you are using it is very difficult for anyone to assist.

In reply to: setting up a child themeseems like updating my functions file gives me a white screen of death again for some annoying reason
<?php .body { /*This goes in style, not functions */ text: black; } ?>#wallacepedition, With the above code you were mixing php and css together. The .body {} is css and goes into your Style.css file NOT the functions file.

In reply to: which theme to chooseAs #leejosepho said, Just about any theme will do what you want, especially if you learn to style for yourself, that’s why I posted the previous links. One of the best supported themes however is a theme called Customizr you might want to check it out.

In reply to: which theme to chooseIf your new and are just starting out on WP, and if you are planning on customizing your site I would suggest creating a child theme. Links below. You can add a background using an image easily with a child theme. Take a look at the links below. Then proceed from there.
*************************************************************The best way to make changes like this to a theme is to use a child theme, so your tweaks won’t be overwritten when updating the theme. Here are some guides in case you haven’t made one before:

In reply to: How to bold and italicize textThe easiest way to change it in your text is to add another font, go to your text editor and change it to raleway there. Or if you want the default to be raleway you can do that in your child theme style.css file.

In reply to: WordPress adding display, visibility, opacity styles to iframeIt’s not in the theme’s style sheet, just looked. Do what #Andrew said.
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: WordPress adding display, visibility, opacity styles to iframeYou could go into the code and comment out the offending code or delete it. The downside is that you will have to do it each time that you update the theme. To comment out add this /*display: none !important;*/
Then in a child theme or custom css add your own styling.

In reply to: Page padding – can't remove space above mastheadDid you copy the content of your themes style sheet to your child-theme’s style sheet? If you did, you don’t need to do that. You only need YOUR customizations in the child theme’s style sheet.

In reply to: How to bold and italicize textIf you have a child-theme setup, you can add google font’s that you choose in the functions.php file then manually change to those fonts in your text editor. In the example below I have 5 fonts, Playball, Dosis, Raleway, Orbitron, and Tangerine. I do it this way instead of using a plugin.
// Add Google Font add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'my_google_font' ); function my_google_font() { wp_enqueue_style( $handle = 'my-google-font', $src = 'http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Playball|Dosis|Raleway|Orbitron|Tangerine', $deps = array(), $ver = null, $media = null ); }You can then use those fonts in your pages/posts and use them for styling css.
