No Blog styling after import (no paragraphs or bullets)

I would suggest switching themes momentarily to test.

In your markup I see appropriate p and ul/li tags

This makes me guess you are lacking a lot of formatting stuff from your stylesheet maybe?

I had a similar problem. I tried editing the iNove: Stylesheet (style.css), but that didn’t help.

In the code below, I change inside to outside so the bullet would be outside (to the left of) the indented text.

.post .content ol li {
list-style-position:outside;
padding-left:20px;

It seems that this change removed the bullets completely even though the ul and li codes are present.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Kathy

What Rev. Voodoo said.

Switch to Twenty Eleven temporarily, to verify that the issue isn’t Theme-related.

If I were to do that, would it take down my entire site? This is our company website, it is live, and wouldn’t want to do anything that would pose an issue, or threat to the site long term.

All i would do is just switch the theme? and see if it resolves? then switch it back? – will this screw any styling or scripting?

I ask because we made a lot of backend changes, and don’t want it to revert back to the original theme. I would want our new styled theme to load

You can safely change from one Theme to another, and back, without any risk of data loss.

Ok so we did the “preview” as we are reluctant to actually change themes (i have terrible luck) and we fear things will get out of wack. The preview did work, and the paragraph attributes and such do appear. So it is obviously our theme that is messed up. Is it possible to “borrow” the styling from twentyeleven, and place it where our coding for pulling a blog post is? could that solve it?

the styling is in style.css in both themes

It’s not really going to be as simple as borrowing css

The selectors (IDs and classes) are going to be entirely different

You can try to look at the rules for ul/li/ol from twentyeleven, and apply them in your theme

but it’s going to take looking through your css sheet and modifying the proper rules

ok. i’ll give it a try. Wish me luck!

I had to change outside back to inside to get the bullets back, but the formatting is incorrect. I checked the code in all the pages in the Editor and can’t figure out what to change to fix this. If you check out the list here you can see how the bulleted lists are formatted. The HTLM tags are correctly formatted…

Here are some guidelines:

• Always try to sit using good posture. After typing a while, just sit up straighter; you’ll feel an immediate improvement.
• Align the top of your video display with the middle of your forehead. Your eyes should be looking at a point that’s just about in the center of the video display. You won’t be as likely to slouch, thus bending your arms and wrists into the “risk” position.
• Position your keyboard so your arms can hang straight down from your shoulder to your elbow and slightly downward from your elbow to your hands.
• Avoid a cold environment. Temperatures significantly lower than normal make the tendons in your hands less flexible and therefore more prone to irritation and swelling. It’s difficult for me to type in a cold room because my fingers feel stiff.
• An adjustable computer screen and a movable keyboard can help make your typing motions less repetitious. If you’re working with a laptop, move it around your desk periodically to adjust distances and viewing angle.

…but not formatted correctly when published.
