For some reason that WP theme has a font size for the container at zero. Simple:Press uses whatever the container size is as the main size for it’s fonts. It does so by using font-size:100%.
In your case 100% of zero is zero.
You would need to change the font-size to a specific number.
You are using the silver.php overlay. You would need to go into that file and change
$mainFontSize = ‘100%’;
to something like
$mainFontSize = ’14px’;
You should have a custom theme though once you start making changes. See http://codex.simple-press.com/codex/themes/theme-basics/creating-a-theme/ on hot to or https://simple-press.com/custom-simplepress-themes-for-every-need/ on how to get one made.
