Okay, I just realized that it only adds <p> tags if there are line breaks in the original comment?

For inquiring minds:

function reply_woohoo($comment) {
$comment_handle = get_comment(get_comment_id());
if ($comment_handle->comment_parent) {
$parent = get_comment( $comment_handle->comment_parent );

$parent_author = get_comment_author($parent);
$parent_comment = get_comment_excerpt($parent);
$comment= '<div class="commentreplywoohoo">This is a reply to '.$parent_author.'\'s comment: '.$parent_comment.'</div>' . $comment;
}
return $comment;
}
add_filter('get_comment_text', 'reply_woohoo');

When I do this, there is no longer a reply link.

In the header of your theme, the stylesheet https://vector.mavrikmarine.com/wp-content/themes/rebel-child/style.css?ver=4.3 is called which imports https://vector.mavrikmarine.com/wp-content/themes/rebel/style.css. In that stylesheet it gives the body a background color of #f2f2f2 which, I dunno why, is where the gray box comes from. In the header.php of your theme, below all the other stylesheets but before the </head>, put this:

<style type="text/css">
body {
background:none;
}
</style>

Gray box gone :o)

It should be here (although I get a forbidden error when I try it):

https://screen3productions.com/wp-login.php

or

https://screen3productions.com/FOLDERNAME/wp-login.php

if WP is not installed in the root.

Look at the very bottom of that mess.

Fatal error: Call to undefined function register_nav_menus() in /home/content/53/3018953/html/DOUGLASVW-SEE-OUR-HAPPY-CUSTOMERS/wp-content/themes/twentyfourteen/functions.php on line 82

That tells you what the problem is and where it’s located.

Figured it out. Here’s the code in case anyone ever needs it.

<?php if ($depth > 1) $comment_class = 'commentreply'; elseif ($comment->user_id == 1) $comment_class = 'commentauth'; else $comment_class = 'comment'; ?>

<div class="<?php echo $comment_class; ?>">
