Nested Unordered Lists are not longer Nested

    I’d like to use MailPoet to automatically email out blog posts.

    I have a typical Outline Form in my post containing nested lists like so:

    ? The Big Idea
   ? A small dea
   ? Another small idea
   ? My last small idea

    MailPoet turns it into:

    ? The Big Idea
? A small dea
? Another small idea
? My last small idea

    Is there a way to fix this? I don’t want MailPoet to reformat my HTML.

  • Hi,

    Can you confirm that your HTML tags are formatted correctly? Try this tool:

    Thanks!

    Nice tool. It helped me find a widget HTML issue. However, I ran MailPoet on a post that had no unclosed tags and have the same issue.

    I dug some more and notice that:
    1) The MailPoet Preview doesn’t show nested lists. It’s exactly how it looks in my mail client.
    2) The MailPoet HTML Source Editor *does* show nested lists. If I copy all that HTML and save it to ~/Desktop/newsletter.html, it displays beautifully in Safari.
    3) What ends up in my inbox no longer has any “li” tags. It looks like it’s replacing all “ul/li” entries with ZeroMargins and AmpersandBull.

    I can send you URLs, source, etc., if you’d like.

    Hi @sdayman,

    It’s happening because we convert lists into paragraphs in order to improve their rendering.

    Would you mind adding these lines to your file functions.php and test it again?

    add_action( 'init', 'mailpoet_hidden_options');
function mailpoet_hidden_options(){
    if(class_exists('WYSIJA')){
        $model_config = WYSIJA::get('config','model');
        $model_config->save( array( 'disable_list_conversion' => true ));
    }
}

    Woah! That’s awesome! Is it safe to leave that in permanently? I’ve already noted the modification in my personal notes.

    Hi,

    Yep, it’ll be safe to keep in permanently. However, you will need to re-add it after any plugin updates.

    Thanks!
