I’ll mark this as resolved for the moment until the DNS updates. Thanks.

Thanks for your reply, Threadi. Support isn’t going to answer. Others have the same problem and they’ve been told “It’s not our problem”.

The host is still the same, just bought out by another company. I could ask my dad if he wants to move hosts.

Perhaps the DNS will update to fix the issue. Nothing has actually changed in terms of settings. It’s just that support deleted the WordPress app.

I went into Installatron Applications Installer in cPanel and imported a locally existing WordPress installation. Now it shows that WordPress is there under applications, but when I try to reach the website, it still says ‘Server Not Found’. I’ve looked over the wp-config file and it seems to be ok from the little I know.

haha, ok. Thank you for answering.

Hi Esmi. Thanks for that. It worked. ?? I appreciate your help.

So can I use #content before any piece of code and will that override any parent code?

Hi Esmi. Is that different to my post #4 above?

A question to anyone: How does the child and parent theme work regarding code then? I mean if type in my child style.css:

#content .entry-content h3, #content .comment-content h3

and this line of code is in the parent style.css, will the parent style.css be used?

Why is it that the parent style.css is being used (according to Firefox’s Inspect Element Tool)? Shouldn’t all the child’s theme code be just from the child and not the parent?

As this is my first attempt at a child theme, I thought I’d include more information. I don’t know if it’s relevant but the functions.php for the child theme looks like this:

<?php
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'theme_enqueue_styles' );
function theme_enqueue_styles() {
    wp_enqueue_style( 'parent-style', get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css' );
}
?>

And the child theme style.css header looks like this:

/*

Hi Mark

That’s very useful, thanks. I didn’t know about the Inspect Element. I just used it and if I’m not mistaken, the parent theme (twentyeleven) is overwriting the child. Hmmm. I wonder why that is.

Perhaps you can identify and relay a better understanding to me? Here’s a test page where I was looking at the H3 tag:

https://socialworkacademy.com/?page_id=3300

Thanks for your help.

This is the original twentyeleven theme code that didn’t work either when trying to change the H3 tag:

.entry-content h1,
.entry-content h2,
.comment-content h1,
.comment-content h2 {
color: #000;
font-weight: bold;
margin: 0 0 .8125em;
}
.entry-content h3,
.comment-content h3 {
font-size: 10px;
letter-spacing: 0.1em;
line-height: 2.6em;
text-transform: uppercase;
}

I wonder where else in the theme the H3 attributes are being set? I’ve searched for H3 but don’t see anything.

Hi Jose, thanks for replying.

I’m using a child theme of the WordPress twentyeleven theme.

The code from my original post (above) is from the twentyfifteen theme because I was desperate to try something new to get H3 to work.

The original twentyeleven theme code for H3 doesn’t work either. Same exact problem where H1 and H2 are ok but H3 doesn’t change.

Looks like it’s ok again now. I haven’t done anything on the site and it’s back to normal again. Bizarre how it’s righted itself. I’ve tested it on two different PCs and can’t understand how it was a problem yesterday and fixed today. Possbily an auto update from WordPress? I’ll keep an eye on it and see if it reverts back in a day or two.

Thanks for the reply Laliz.

Do themes affect the dashboard?

The blank pages I’m getting are from the dashboard not from any homepage (unless I try to edit them).

I noticed a further thing, when I edit a page (from viewing it at the frontend), the ‘edit page’ loads but nothing is displayed in the edit page box. However, when I run my mouse over the edit page box, I can see all the text. It’s like the text is white on a white background. Bizarre!

Thanks for your help.

Sorry, when you mentioned finding any malware, I thought you might be referring to quarantined files, threats, exploits, changes, backdoor scripts or core file changes.

It did come up with three potential threats that it said were probably not malicious scripts. They were:

public_html/wp-content/plugins/contact-form-7/includes/js/scripts.js

public_html/wp-content/plugins/gwolle-gb/frontend/markitup/jquery.markitup.js

public_html/wp-includes/js/tinymce/tiny_mce_popup.js

Removing everything and starting again might be the way to go. Hmmm…

Hey, thanks for the reply wslade.

I hadn’t updated the definitions upon my first scan but have now.

I ran three further scans (public_html, wp-content and plugins) and nothing was found. All options were ticked.

I suppose what I’m trying to ask is, where do I find the location or file where they’ve added their own domain name? (I only have 8 webpages on my site)
