About your tips, thanks! I have an idea to make the interface less cluttered and your tip is toward this direction.
About the CSS, consider that yout theme is using this rule:
.sidebar li {
line-height:1.2em;
padding:0;
text-indent:-1px;
margin-bottom:14px;
list-style:disc outside;
}
So every li
descendant of every element with the class .sidebar
will be formatted with a disc list-style:disc outside;
. This rule is OK in general, but we want to remove the bullet only in the list elements of our posts lists.
In order to do this, we define another rule that removes these bullets only in the lists of posts.
Knowing that “Posts in Sidebar” plugin appends a specific class to every element and knowing that in our case this class is .pis-li
, it’s simple to create the new rule:
.sidebar li.pis-li {
list-style: none;
}
We have added the .pis-li
class to the li
element that is descendant of .sidebar
class.
Also, it’s important that this new rule be executed after the rule defined by your theme.
