  I’m experiencing a strange problem: text letters in some of my posts (titles+tags+writing in the post) and widgets (categories, archive, blogrolls etc) are all turning into cursive letter, which I did not specify to have. What should I do to prevent this?

  I’m using Redoable Lite theme by Dean J Robinson.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  I see what you mean. This is usually due to is either due to (1) copying and pasting or (2) importing text containing invalid HTML (3) leaving an HTML tag one in a post. Typically this is caused by an open HTML tag in one of your posts.

  Go to Settings > Writing and select “ ___ WordPress should correct invalidly nested XHTML automatically” and then scroll down and click “Save Changes.”

  Now, starting with your latest post, open it in the editor, make one minor change such as adding a space and then deleting it, and then click “Update Post.” Check your blog and see if it is back to normal.

  If it’s not, then look for an open HTML tag and close it. Check your blog again and see if it is back to normal. If it’s still “messed up” then open the next post and do the same thing post by post until it goes back to normal.

  If you you have been copying and pasting text from elsewhere without using either icon 5 or icon 6 in Row 2 of the visual editor, please see here so you know how to do this correctly in the future. http://en.support.wordpress.com/visual-editor/#pasting-text

  thanks for your reply, I did as you suggested, checked everything for open HTML tag, but the problem unfortunately still remains. the strange thing is that all texts on the side of the page turned cursive (categories, archives etc.) … the same goes for some posts with only embedded videos, where no additional text was added except for the title, for example this post

  cat2525jp :: Tokyo Sky Drive

  If I click on that post (or any of other posts with cursive letters problem) the text is as it should be

  Carlos Pataca :: crown’s jewels or the impossible match

  but on the front page the letters are still cursive

  Another strange thing: if I open category ‘quotes and text extracts’ the text in most of the posts looks cursive

  but if I click on titles to open them individually, text is as it should be

  I’ve just received a message from WP support, they suggested a correction in HTML tags from one of my recent posts and the problem got solved:))

  You have an unclosed < i > tag in the related post “Marcel Duchamp’s The creative act” you referenced at the bottom of this post, http://brancolina.wordpress.com/2011/05/11/aaron-schuman-and-charlotte-cotton-on-future-of-photography/.
