I have the latest updates for my installation and XFCE4 and XFWM4. I can change the window theme, but when I go to settings > appearance > styles and click on any of the styles they do not work. Neither does changing the font on the font tab.
I have uninstalled xfce, and everything to do with it, manually deleted all the config files, and reinstalled it, and I still get the same result. I've been trying to figure this out for weeks now.
I've done hours of searching and have tried so much, and nothing has worked.

Make sure that xfce4-settings is installed and that xfsettingsd is running. This is the program that manages gtk-based configuratiions. More information here.

When I run "xfsettingsd" in the console I get the following
[root@localhost /]# xfsettingsd
Xlib: extension "RANDR" missing on display ":1.0".
[root@localhost /]#
(xfsettingsd:2230): xfsettingsd-CRITICAL **: No RANDR extension found in display :1.0. Display settings won't be applied.

well, it seems that xlib is missing the extension RANDR on display :1.0.

If you're using multiple monitors, have a read of the "GTK themes not working with multiple monitors" entry in the Xfce Wiki article.

I only connect with the server with either SSH or VNC. I connect with it via 3 different VNC desktops that are always on and ready to connect to.

I just checked and the libxrandr package is installed.

What vncserver command are you using? Are you using a non-standard resolution? If so, try omitting the geometry parameter and see if that works.
Anything in the log files?

Inside the ~/.vnc/xstartup file I have the following inside
#!/bin/sh
# Uncomment the following two lines for normal desktop:
unset SESSION_MANAGER
#exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc
exec startxfce4
[ -x /etc/vnc/xstartup ] && exec /etc/vnc/xstartup
[ -r $HOME/.Xresources ] && xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
xsetroot -solid grey
vncconfig -iconic &
#x-terminal-emulator -geometry 1600x900+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" &
#x-window-manager &
Then inside the /etc/vncserver/vncservers.conf file the following is inside
VNCSERVERS="1:root"
VNCSERVERARGS[1]="-geometry 1600x900 -depth 24"
VNCSERVERS="2:lyoko"
VNCSERVERARGS[2]="-geometry 1600x900 -depth 24"
VNCSERVERS="3:vinailt"
VNCSERVERARGS[3]="-geometry 1600x900 -depth 24"

Anything relevant in the log files?
Which vnc client are you using to connect to the server?

The server uses TigerVNC, the client I use to connect to the server is TightVNC.
Inside the VNC server log is this

(xfwm4:541): xfwm4-WARNING **: The display does not support the XFixes extensio$

Do you get the same issue if you use tigervnc as the client as well?

I have tried using TigerVNC as the client and I get the same error message.

What video card and driver are you using?
What's your xorg.conf?
What's in your Xorg logs?
I'm not knowledgeble on the topic but perhaps you can figure it out with some more debugging. Others seem to have the problem too, having a go with a search engine might help.
