    Ok, not really horrible. Anyways I just purchased a theme and was really surprised to find out that the theme doesn't support italics. Yes that simple thing! I did every possible testing but the italics aren't just working. How can I enable that in my theme?

    Thanks,
    Melvin

    You need to use italics within your posts?

    copy this code into the style.css: em{font-style:italics;}

    or tell us your url.

    Perhaps they override italics with their own css which is not italic. Link us to the css file :)

    This is the problem.

    Look for this two parts:

    em{
      font-style:italics;
      
      }
    Code (markup):
    
    address, caption, cite, code, dfn, em, th, var {
      font-style: normal;
      font-weight: normal;
    }
    Code (markup):

    Replace them as follow:

    em{
      font-style:italic;
      
      }
    Code (markup):
    
    address, caption, cite, code, dfn, th, var {
      font-style: normal;
      font-weight: normal;
    }
    Code (markup):
    Thats it.
