Adding bullets to the list

Hi There,
That is just the scaffolding for adding styles to the link list. You will need to add the desired styles to each element. I would be happy to help you if you can describe how you want the list to display.

I appreciate your help. The instructions under Q&A don’t say what to do next. There are 3 lists in the left column of digitalhive.buzz. I would like have bullets or numbered lists (I did them manually). Also, is there a way to add a bit of spacing between them and make the font a little smaller?

Best,
Rebekah

Hi Rebekah,
Add the following to your stylesheet:

.widget_link_list ul {list-style: disc; margin-left: 15px;}
.widget_link_list ol {list-style: decimal; margin-left: 15px;}
.widget_link_list li {font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 8px;}

Let me know if you have any other issues.

I put this into the custom.css and nothing happened. Am I supposed to do something else to make it work?

/* Styles for Simple Link List Widget */
.widget_link_list ul {list-style: disc; margin-left: 15px;}
.widget_link_list ol {list-style: decimal; margin-left: 15px;}
.widget_link_list li {font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 8px;}

Your custom.css file is not linked to your website so anything that was placed in there is not affecting your website. After looking at your theme website it looks like you need to enable custom.css in your theme options. This is from the documentation of your theme:

Adding CSS to custom.css

1. Go to your WordPress dashboard and then Theme Options > General. Tick the checkbox to enable custom.css (this will load the css file in the theme).
2. Go to Appearance > Editor. Click on custom.css on the right side in the list.
3. The code in this file will now appear (most likely empty). Just add your css here and save, and you’re done.

Hope this helps! and please rate and review this plugin!

Yes I suppose it does help to turn it on ??

Out of curiosity, how did you do that so that the 2 lists that had asterisks now have bullets and the list that was numbered is now numbered? Was it based off of whether I started the list as asterisks or numbers? If I made another list in the future, how do I select which to use?

You will just need to use the Ordered(numbered)/Unordered(bulleted) setting in Simple Link List widget. The problem was with your theme stylesheet disabling the default list styles. Themes typically do that because lists are often used as menus and should not have any bullets or numbers. So rather than apply that setting to every list that is created for a menu, they apply it site wide. In this case the developer didn’t reapply the style for the content sections.
