Bullets in sidebar

  • I’m using the Default theme, which I have modified to look like my website. I cannot get rid of the bullets in the right sidebar. I’ve looked at my code in firebug & it looks like they should be gone, but they’re not.

    I found a suggestion to delete the line ‘.entry ul li:before, #sidebar ul ul li:before { content: “0BB 020”; }’ from the stylesheet. Bullets were still there, so I put the line back. And yes, of course, I’m new to all this and it’s driving me nuts! Here’s my blog https://pdxrestore.org/restories/

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • it seems that the page that you gave a link to, does not include the style.css of the default theme.

    I added the line ‘<link rel=”stylesheet” href=”<?php bloginfo(‘stylesheet_url’); ?>” type=”text/css” media=”screen” />’ from my original header.php back into the one I modified. Well, the bullets are gone, but style.css overrides my other stylesheets so I lost my formatting. And now it seems that my sidebar is formatted right off the page.

    you may primarily only need this section for the sidebar unordered list bullets:

    #sidebar ul {
	margin: 0;
	padding: 0;
	}

#sidebar ul li {
	list-style-type: none;
	list-style-image: none;
	margin-bottom: 15px;
	}

    I added the sidebar IDs to my website css and removed style.css. It works! The bullets are gone and the birds are singing. Thank you so much!

    Hello,
    I’m having, sort of, the same problem.

    I too, used the default template and skinned it to look like the template that I built for Joomla! (or I should say, I am skinning it).

    I copied the default template, changed the name, and uploaded and activated it. Then I sarted tweaking it.

    So, I’ve got roughly the same problem, except it’s in my left sidebar. There are bullets, and I can’t get rid of them. Every list-style in style.css is set to “none”, and yet, there they are. Firebug shows quite clearly that they are not there. And yet, they are there. And it’s really getting to me.

    See the site in progress here:

    Thanks for any help.

    the old kubrick ‘list style’:

    find this in style.css (about half way down) and delete it:

    .entry ul li:before, #sidebar ul ul li:before {
	content: "0BB 020";
	}

    Brilliant. I can’t believe I didn’t see that and try commenting it out. Thank you thank you.
