CSS for ul/ol list-style-type not being read in 42 Wall theme

    I’m trying to transfer pages from my website to a new install of WP, and I’m using the 42 Wall theme for its configurability. Mostly, I’m pleased with the result, but the default style.css had list-style-type for both ol and ul set to “none,” and I want some instead. Standard would be just ducky, but that doesn’t appear to be working as I try different things.

    The new page is at https://blainn.com/abuse-blog/?page_id=10, while the old version is at https://blainn.com/abuse/ . The old version is behaving the way I’d prefer.

    I’ve tried deleting the ul/ol listings from style.css, thinking that would restore default behavior. Nope.

    I’ve tried creating new listings like this:
    ol {list-style-type: decimal; margin: 1px; padding: 1px;}
    ul {list-style-type: disc; margin: 1px; padding: 1px;}

    Nope.

    I’ve tried putting the same code inside a <style></style> block in the page. Still nope.

    I’m starting to think that there’s something getting in the way of these changes being reflected. I’ve looked over the styles embeded in the document, and just don’t see where the problem is. Any ideas?

  • style.css line 17:

    html, body, dl, li, dt, dd, p, blockquote, pre, form, fieldset, table, th, td {
list-style-image:none;
list-style-type:none;
}

    hey Blainn13, what Esmi said should work, if you have any more problems please let me know and I can fix them.

    I turned off all the list styles by default; it was a personal choice more than anything. Hope you get them to work!

    esmi — Thanks. Tried it, although I’m pretty sure that’s what I already had (you just removed the ul from the list, right?). Another Nope.

    F42 — Thanks for the response. I don’t mind you making the choice, but I would like a way to make a different choice without it being an ordeal. That’s what drew me to the theme — configurability. I’ll keep at this and see what I can do. I’m less than certain that the style.css is being read, and that may be an issue with my webhost. Might try making some big visible change to it and see if it comes through.

    But, while I’ve got you here, could you move the “Reset button” somewhere other than the bottom left of the page? That’s the default position for “save changes,” and I’ve thus far hit it once on accident. Bottom right parallel to “save changes” would be better, I think, or maybe include a “are you sure you want to reset” into that process. Or both. It’s just too powerful a thing to be that easy to activate.

    Thanks, folks. I’ll stay with it. If you have anymore ideas, let me know.

    Okay, update: I commented out the line esmi referenced above, along with the ul/ol definitions I listed above (I like default behavior) and everything started working the way I wanted it to in the document.

    The only issue I’m having right now is that I’ve got two disks showing up in the “Meta” area that don’t have any content (one at the head of the list, and one at the end). And I need to change the page.php to take out the category information, since they tell me pages can’t have categories (don’t know why it’s there or why they can’t, but, whatever).

    So, thanks for the help, and, hopefully, for processing the feedback on the theme. And, for that matter, for creating the theme. I like much of what it does, and allows me to do easily.
