[Ravage Theme] List item spacing between items on Recent Post widget inconsisten

    I have a “Recent Post” widget the sidebar of my blog and I just noticed there isn’t a space between the first list items even though there is a space between the other 3 items. I tried deleting the second item (which had two lines) but it still made the second item run up against the the first title. Has anyone seen this before?

    I have tried changing the .widget ul li { margin-bottom..} but it will just change the spacing for all the other elements and the first and second items will still have no spacing.

    Thanks in advance!

  • That strange behavior is being caused by a style applied only to the first items on the list — not clear why the style is there at all, but if you delete this, it fixes it:

    .widget ul li:first-child {
    float: right;
    margin: 0;
}

    Awesome thanks! I saw that and played around with the spacing, but I didn’t think to just delete it. Worked like a charm. Thanks!

    You could also have put “float: none;” and it should have done the same thing. Do be aware that when the theme is updated, you’ll lose that change, so make a note of it. Generally, you should not make changes in theme files — but use a child theme or custom CSS option or plug-in — that way your changes won’t be lost. If you want to set that up, you’d just add this CSS — which should override the old (bad) one:

    .widget ul li:first-child {
    float: none;
}

    Thanks! I should be better about not changing the theme styles…
