Bullet Points not showing

  • I have searched and searched and tried firebug (I had NO CLUE what I was looking for – but didn’t see any ul or ol or li strings anywhere.

    I’ve tried all the different css code tweaks I’ve found. None of them seem to be working. I’ve now got the following in my Custom CSS Styling in Theme Options. Do I have too many? Are they confusing each other?

    Here are two separate posts where I have bullets which are not showing.

    ul {
    list-style: disc;
    padding-left: 20px;
    }

    .type-post ul li {
    list-style-type: disc;
    margin: 0 0 0 30px;
    padding: 0;
    }

    .entry li {
    padding-left: 0;
    list-style-type: circle;
    }

    ul {
    list-style-type: disc;
    margin-left: 1.5em;
    }

    .entry ul {
    padding-left: 20px;
    list-style-type: circle!important;
    }

    Would much appreciate a point in the right direction here!

    @loreen72 – you should be starting a new thread as your site/theme is not identical to the OP – but look for this:
    .votes_sidebar ol, ul {
    color: #000000;
    list-style-type: none;
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
    }

    Yes, that’s where the problem is.

    I’ve got the following in my Custom CSS Styling in Theme Options… is this what/where you are referring?

    .votes_sidebar ol, ul {list-style-type: none;margin: 0;padding: 0;}

    And wouldn’t this just affect the voting plugin since it starts with .votes?

    Sorry if the question is elementary – I’m just starting to get into bits of CSS styling.

    That CSS is being applied to ALL <ul> tags – looks like it’s wrong, it would need to be:

    .votes_sidebar ol,
.votes_sidebar ul {list-style-type: none;margin: 0;padding: 0;}

    The class needs to be applied to both the ol and ul tags.

    Ok – here’s what I’ve done…..

    in my Custom CSS Styling in Theme Options I replaced

    .votes_sidebar ol, ul {list-style-type: none;margin: 0;padding: 0;}

    with
    .votes_sidebar ol,
    .votes_sidebar ul {list-style-type: none;margin: 0;padding: 0;}

    Refreshed and checked posts – still no bullets.

    Sadly – I can’t remember why I even have this in my Custom CSS Styling in Theme Options to begin with.

    Do I need to do this in the plugin css instead of the Theme Options? It’s the theme options which applies the CSS to ALL right?

    It’s the theme options which applies the CSS to ALL right?

    No, CSS is applied by specificity – no matter where it’s coming from.

    I don’t see that CSS as changed on your site – but it looks like you may have some parse errors in your custom CSS – try validating it –

    Not all that show up as errors are problematic – so don’t panic. But try copying your custom CSS into the direct input validator.

    Ok – I put https://www.litewriting.com/photographing-wildlife/ into the validator you mentioned – it found 640 errors – oh geez!!!

    So I re-read your post and just copied the custom css… much better – just one error. But I have no idea what to do with it…

    The error:
    Parse Error [: visible !important; } .themex-slider > ul .quotes_box_and_tips]

    The custom css:
    .themex-slider > ul .quotes_box_and_tips {
    margin-top: 140px;
    position: absolute;
    }

    I see three errors:

    3 .quotes_box_and_tips Value Error : background-color Parse Error !important
    0 Unknown pseudo-element or pseudo-class ::selection [selection]
    15 Parse Error [: visible !important; } .themex-slider > ul .quotes_box_and_tips]
