Help, Horrible Wordpress Theme

Discussion in 'WordPress' started by countolaf, Nov 8, 2009.

    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?

    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.
