List line spacing and bullets

  • This issue regards specifying the line spacing in multi-level bullet lists. In edit mode it all looks good, then the actual page is quite different with all bullets the same and spacing is too large. We have Ultra theme in its boxed layout.

  • Hi CFTP –

    The “li” and multi-level bullet lists are defined in the CSS (stylesheet) that comes with the Theme. So style.css needs to be updated to change it to something more to your liking.

    Ideally, this change should be made in style.css file of the child theme’s folder. Was a child theme created when Ultra theme was installed?

    If not, the master style.css file can be updated. I can give guidance, but, let me know how the theme was installed.

    Thanks for your reply, kcalkmc,

    We are total novices at the innards of WP, so can you tell us how to determine if a child theme was installed? Also, we assume that the changes to a style.css file cannot be done through the WP-admin dashboard. So could you help us find the file via our ftp connection – that is, in which of the very many folders would you expect that file to be in?

    Thanks,

    @cftp

    There are many tutorials on what you ask, especially on official codex:

    codex.www.ads-software.com
    https://codex.www.ads-software.com/FTP_Clients

    It also explains how to use FTP.

    Hi CFTP –

    You can check the themes via the Dashboard. Click on Appearance, then Theme.

    Best practices are to name a child theme: masterthemename-child. (see this link for an example with the twentyfifteen theme.) So, IF Ultra uses the name “Ultra”, you would look to see if the ACTIVE theme is “Ultra-Child”. If the active theme is “Ultra”, AND you see no other themes containing the word Ultra, my guess is that you are using the master theme.

    Take a look, and then follow the instructions for FTP. Copy down the style.css in the ACTIVE theme’s top level folder. Edit it, then FTP it back up. MAKE A COPY OF THE ORIGINAL BEFORE editing it. Save it on your computer (in case).
