Remove the ‘»’ from the sidebar of the default template

  • I am currently modifying the default wordpress theme, Kubrick (well actually it is the Kubrick with a full Sidebar theme) to match my company’s website.

    In the side bar there is the » (?) in front of every list item. I cannot find out where this is coming from, as it is not affected by the CSS list-style-type property. Also it does not seem to be text. I attempt to select it with my mouse and it does not select like regular text yet the ‘?’ for navigating to the next page of posts near the bottom of the posts is selectable.

    I need to remove the ? from the sidebar list items, yet I cannot figure out where it is being called from…

  • Since you didn’t include a link so we could see for ourselves what is going on it is hard to say with certainty. I would GUESS that the character is being used as a bullet for the UL in your sidebar.php. Check that file and see if your list includes the character, and then delete it if it is.

    Sorry about not posting the link, here it is: https://livingonadsense.com/testblog/

    As for the ? being used as a bullet, this is not the case. In the CSS the list-style-type is set to none, and when I remove this CSS element the actual bullet points are being displayed.

    This is from the default Kubrick theme, so I imagine someone has encountered this problem before. I just cannot find where they are being referenced. I have downloaded the entire site and used Dreamweaver to search for both ? and for &raquo with no results.

    This is driving me crazy too, but I went to your test site and noticed there were no double carats, so you figured it out! Can you post your solution? Thanks…

    seriously, i can’t figure this out either! i can’t find a single instance where it is calling these things…. css or html! WHERE IS IT!!?!!??!?!?! ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. thanks in advance ??

    please please ??

    Has anyone solved this yet?

    Found it! Here’s where it is…
    .entry ul li:before, #sidebar ul ul li:before {
    content: “0BB 020”;
    }

    @jen: was tearing my hair out… thanks for reporting the find!

    content: "0BB 020";

    is the exact text if you are trying to search/replace

    er.. there’s a forward slash before the 0BB and before the 020.
