Countdown Timer

bullets in lists are a style issue. all wordpress themes come with a stylesheet .. its called style.css and it lives in your theme directory.

look through some of those links, and than edit your style sheet.

there’s also this:

Thank you for that. However, if you read my original question, your points do not address it is any way.

I don’t want to change the bullet style. I want to have a line break/return between items in the countdown timer list. NO BULLET.

In an earlier version of this plug-in one had to edit the code to achieve this.
1) It would be a nice feature to be able to do this without editing the code.
2) If I want to eliminate the bullet and just have a line break, does the original way to make this change still work?

NO BULLET

and once again, thats a style issue.

I unfortuntely, didnt see that this was re: a specific plugin, blame it on the lack of cofee this morning — irrespective of that, bullets, or no bullets = style.

Is it possible to have a link to the plugin please?

If it is the one I’m thinking of, I believe just editing the code from

<li> whatever it was here</li>

to

whatever it was here<br />

should be sufficient.
However, you should be aware that it is possible to style the bullets with CSS (as whooami said) so that no actual bullets appear even though it is still a list.

Perhaps this tutorial might be more straightforward.

• whatever it was here

to

whatever it was here

Sure, that works, that stops making it a list, and since it wont be a list, it wont have bullets.

Cough.

With due respect, whooami, it’s not strictly a ‘list’ but it works for simple displays to achieve the same effect visually ??

huh?

I am not arguing with you.

lets clear up the confusion.

This is a semantically correct list:

<ol>
<li>thing</li>
<li>thing</li>
</ol>

this:

thing <br />
thing <br />

is not.

My point in pointing out the difference was to illustrate that your method removes the bullets because list styling isnt applied to something thats not a list.

There isnt anything “wrong” with what you suggested.

My bad then, sorry ?? I misinterpreted the ‘cough’ at the end of your previous post.

@holocron

The functionality you’re looking for already exists.

If you look under the “Display Format Options” tab, you’ll see “Display Format Prefix” and “Display Format Suffix”

Clear the beginning list element (<li>)from the prefix box and replace the closing list element (</li>) with a line break (<br />) in the suffix box.

-Andrew, the guy who probably actually knows what’s going on

Shame on me for not checking my installation of Countdown Timer before writing rubbish ?? Thanks for the info, Andrew1

@holocron

When you get a chance, can you mark this topic as resolved (unless you still have some questions)?

Thanks,

Andrew

@fergbrain:

Got it. Works like a charm. I missed these new settings in the plug-in. I had been using a very old version for a long time till I just upgraded everything on one of our sites.

Thanks again.
