Yes Aaron, you are absolutely right. Thing is.. I can’t remember that I have ever needed to write the selector twice before, like this, so this is kind of new to me. I’ll look through the rest of the code cause I know I have made this mistake on several places.
Anyway. Big thanks! And it’s good also that I made one more step on the to-do-list, that is moving the site to the server, that was supposed to be done anyway. ??

Phew.. finally made it, now I have a copy of my wp-site on https://www.ct-equestrian.com/wp/wordpress/
I would be most thankful if you could help me out with those darn bullets.

phew.. finally made it! The web site can now be found here:

https://www.ct-equestrian.com/wp/wordpress/

I’m going for the full transfer of the entire wp-site. However I’m missing some information from the site owners, stuff that I need to change in wp-config.php, and I’m not sure I will get it today. Hope you guys are here tomorrow to help me out then?

Actually I can’t do this. I already have one WP-installation on my own domain, with it’s database. There is no way to have another one according to the web hotel. ?? I have nowhere else to put it.

Edit: I will try to make a subdirectory on the live site with the wp-version of it.

I’ll try to make room for this WP -page on my own wp-page, I hope it won’t destroy anything on my own site… I’ll be back shortly.

Thanks Aaron, but it didn’t work.

The list-style-type is striked through both for the li and the ul, and user agent style sheet list-style-type:disc; is still the one that rules. (Inherited from ul, it says…)

THe big question is, why does it work flawlessly in the left sidebar, the code is the same for both sidebars. I notice one difference in the code inspector: When I inspect the list in the correctly working sidebar, I see that the browser reads from my own stylesheet first; and THEN from boilerplate.css. But in the non-working sidebar it’s the other way around; it reads boilerplate first (although there is no styling of list-style-type in boilerplate), and then comes user agent style sheet, and lastly, “my-style-sheet.css”; and there is the striked through list-style-type:none.

Hi again.. I’m back with the exact same problem once more, and now I do have my selectors written properly. I’d like to attach a screenshot to let you see what is going on as my wp-site is not yet up on the web, but seems that I can’t do that here.. I’ll try to describe;

I added the exact same php statement to both of my sidebars to retrieve some list, but although the unordered list elements show up correctly in the left sidebar, it gets bullets in the right one. I see in the code inspector that this time, it’s not list-style but list-style-type that is the felon… But I can’t change it with adding list-style-type: none; to the same selectors. The code:

#sidebarRight, #sidebarLeft ul {
        list-style: none;
        list-style-type: none;
        padding: 15px;
   }

Yet the user agent style sheet says
list-style-type: disc;

and also overrides the padding:15px. There is nothing I can do about it, my own style definition is striked through. When in the browser’s code inspector I “add” the code list-style-type: none; to the boilerplate.css which is the first css I include, before my own stylesheet, then it obeys and removes the bullets. But this file should not be touched I’ve read, and until this point I never had the reason to do so.

Anyone..?

Oups. I must have been really really tired or as always expecting things to be much more difficult than they are just because this is WP and I’m new to it.
You are of course right. I totally missed the extra #.

Maybe this was not a very interesting topic, but for the sake of those who struggled with this particular difficulty I might as well provide the solution I found to this;

I changed container_class to menu_class, after I read this in the manual:

$menu_class
(string) (optional) The class that is applied to the ul element which encloses the menu items. Multiple classes can be separated with spaces. Formerly known as $wrap_class.
Default: menu

Now I discovered the Manage Locations tab in the admin interface, and there I was able to select my Header Menu.

But – the output is a div class, but I want an ul class.
So with my logic I should change the ‘container_class’ argument to something like ‘ul_class’, but there is no such thing in the documentation, and therefore certainly not a ul li class, a ul li a class, and the remaining selectors that are commonly used in a normal navigation with submenu items….

I can’t imagine why this would be so difficult to do?

Oh, I just want to add that in the back-end interface (the administration panel) I have renamed my menu to Header Menu.

One of the pages promised that whenever I register a new menu name, it would show up in the admin-interface, in Menu settings, but I have never seen any menus displaying there for me to select – I can but type in whatever name I want. So I don’t really get this, where I’m supposed to connect the menu in the admin panel to the registered menu name in functions.php.
