Someone else will give a better answer than me but, in the meantime, I would suggest saving your theme locally, and then deleting all traces of WP (database too), and performing a clean install.

I’m sure there is an easier option though. But this is one option.

Did you get any database errors when you upgraded?

I’m not sure that the changes made in 3.0 could alter the css of your ul/li – in fact I highly doubt it. However, if it only just recently showed up (“out of the blue”), it seems suspect (3.0), doesn’t it?

Unfortunately, if you aren’t comfortable with the coding side, there is not much you can do…except go to the code and make the changes since I don’t know what editor you use.

For your reference:
“style.css” – This is the file that, in your specific case, handles the majority of how things look on your website. It handles the grand majority of spacing, colouring, font, meta-data, and more.

My best guess would be that a change was made to an option in your visual editor that changed the ul/li code. Double check your settings. Also, if you have access to your website by FTP (you should), a very simple work around would be: delete the file named “ul-bullet.gif” from the “images” directory. This will force all browsers to default back to a regular bullet-point, but won’t affect the spacing issue.

Hope this was helpful ??

I don’t understand why you double-span each line?

The reason in your css that the formatting is different for your ul/li can be found in your style.css file, particularly the lines that begin: “contentleft”. Changing this will change all bullet-pointed items that use that id, but will give you your desired effect.

#contentleft ul{
	margin: 0px 0px 0px 20px;
	padding: 0px 0px 10px 0px;
	}

#contentleft ul li{
	background:transparent url("images/ul-bullet.gif") 0px 3px no-repeat; /* 0px = horizontal position for left, 6px = vertical position from top */
	margin: 0px 0px 0px 0px;
	padding: 0px 0px 0px 18px;
	}

It looks fine to me as it is now, but I assume you don’t want to use the image, and instead a regular bullet-point? If that is the case, just edit the above code.

What is the desired final look of your bullet-points? Formatted and spaced exactly as the other text, or …

Also, from what I can see, in your code, there aren’t any span where you listed them above. You are using ul/li.

Post the code or the website so we can see it and check.
It’s likely that a css ul/li is making the spacing/font-family change.

Until someone else comes along with more time, I’d suggest taking a look at your “nav” div. Right now it’s positioned absolutely which could be the first place to look for a fix.

I’ve tried this plug-in, however people are able to vote multiple times, is this the way the poll is set-up or was there an installation error?

Root: how might I go about making this work then?

yup, make sure to pay attention to the parameters set in both your CSS and header.php files ??

it should be a CSS problem, I’ve seen it before, just trying to remember what it was though …

<?php wp_get_archives('type=monthly'); ?>
will show the month and its respective posts, so I’m still unsure as to why SmartArchives aren’t being too … smart …

I could be wrong, but in your sidebar ID:

#sidebar
{
padding: 20px 0 10px 0;
margin-left: 545px;
width: 190px;
}


you might want to float: left;
and/or change the margin-left to a smaller number …

that did it! thanks to all who helped ??

yup, I used the code you supplied in the other thread, and it is on an author archive page …
