the functions file in the path I posted above

Wouldn’t just changing the above code I posted to #FFFFFF work? I find menus can be confusing with the hover on/off active and submenus so maybe I’m totally wrong>.<

It’s on line 208 of wp-content/themes/evolve/library/functions/functions.php

I don’t have that theme installed so I can’t look at the templates, but you could always hide it with css using display: none; on the proper class.

You should start off by creating a child theme if you want to make changes to Twenty Ten. This will prevent your changes from being overwritten if it’s ever upgraded.

My own guide – http://zeaks.org/child-theme-basics/

I crated a starter child theme for you, just upload and activate, then you can add all your changes to it instead of Twenty Ten.

Once you have done that, open style.css and add the css to change the fonts. font-family changes the font, font-size changes the size

This will change the font in the text widget

.textwidget p {
font-family: font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 14px;
}

This will change the active font in the other widgets

.widget-area, .widget-area a:link, .widget-area a:visited {
font-family: font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 14px;
}

Add them both to the style.css, and save it. Change the font to whatever you want, and the size to whatever you want. You can edit the style.css in Appearance > Editor

Looks liek this is what’s causing it to stay green

.menu_bar .current_page_item > a, .menu_bar .current_page_ancestor > a {
    color: #008C82 !important;
}

I’m not familiar with how this theme works, but maybe the menus need to be setup differently in order to use the scrolling feature. I’d check the theme instructions, or contact the author.

Upgrading or changing the theme woudln’t remove your content. Check the posts section in Admin, see if your posts are still listed. If they are, change the theme to Twenty Ten or Twenty Eleven and see if they display.
