  Hi Diane,
  Thanks for starting a new thread. I don’t help with CSS editing but I wonder if you have opened the widgets to be sure the conditional visibility settings that indicate which pages the widgets display on are correctly set up. See here: http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/#widget-visibility

  I checked the settings and they are on all pages no restrictions …’on visibility’ and earlier in the day all was fine …This only happened later in the day… nothing had been changed… hope this helps Diane

  timethief… it looked as though problem was fixed…but alas not so. I’ve gone to different links and now confused but somewhere instructions were given to go to Appearance/Customize/Click CSS /Add Code body(color : inherit and the issue would be fixed..

  When I just clicked on CSS it looked like it was fixed but it didn’t last… I am out of my comfort zone adding codes etc but I did it and Saved but it went back to not visible…. HELP !!! Diane

  Our developers are still investigating the issue as we speak. However, we do have a temporarily fix that resolved the issue for some of our users.

  Follow the steps below:

  1: Go to the Customizer at ‘Appearance’ -> ‘Customize’ in your blog’s dashboard
  2: Click on CSS
  3: Add the code below to the CSS editor and then click on the [Save] button.
  body { color: inherit; }
