Sidebar “Bullet Points” Help

  • Hi,

    I’m very new to wordpress and not that clued up on PHP so please excuse me if this is really simple!

    I have an error in my WP coding somewhere as a Bulletpoint seems to appear in front of my Sidebar Heading instead of just in front of the links as it should.

    However this only happens in Internet Explorer – the site seems to load perfectly fine in Firefox.

    Here are images from IE and Firefox:

    Firefox:

    Can anyone shed any light on this …

    This is the code from sidebar.php:

    <div id="sidebar">
 <ul>
  <li><h2>About</h2>
   <ul>
   Port Group are a UK Based Fashion Importer, Exporter,& Distributor to the Wholesale & Retail Clothing Industy.
   </ul>
  </li>

<ul>
<?php
wp_list_pages('sort_column=menu_order&title_li=<h2>' . ('Pages') . '</h2>' ); ?>
</ul>

<?php if (function_exists('wp_theme_switcher')) { ?>
<li><h2><?php _e('Themes'); ?></h2>
<?php wp_theme_switcher(); ?>
</li>
<?php } ?>

  <li><h2><?php _e('Categories'); ?></h2>
   <ul>
    <?php list_cats() ?>
   </ul>
  </li>

  <li><h2><?php _e('Links'); ?></h2>
   <ul>
    <?php get_links('-1', '<li>', '</li>', ''); ?>
   </ul>
  </li>

 </ul>
</div>

  • each of your sidebar ‘sections’ is a ul/li embedded inside a whole sidebar ul/li, the diff you’re seeing is because of the slight differences in how ie/ff handle/parse your css, and in this case the attributes associated with nested ul’s and li’s

    site url ? i can let you know what needs to be changed in the css without too much trouble.

    I can not get bullets to appear. I am using Firefox and Safari on a Mac. HOWEVER, the bullet points ARE there – they are just invisible! So when I copy text from WordPress & paste it into a word processing program, there are asterisks that magically appear where the bullet points should be.
