Pages not formatting

    Hi,
    Pages and posts are not formatting. Bullets do not show on unordered lists and paragraph tags are not working. I’ve attempted to edit the html on the pages to include paragraph tags , but they are being stripped out after the save. List tags are present in the code view, but not showing on the preview pages.

    In an effort to troubleshoot the issue, I’ve installed a brand new WP on MY hosting account without a child theme. I’ve put up a sample page at https://www.dev.the-white-knight.com/?page_id=2

    The issue is still present with this theme and only this theme. If I switch, the formatting in the pages show’s up.

  • Hi,

    Please go to Admin Dashboard >> Appearance >> Theme Options >> Theme General Options.

    Now copy below css code and paste into custom css editor.

    ul li {
  list-style: inside;
}

    Save the changes.

    Thanks.

    I added the code to the guardian style sheet as I’ve not modified the site in any way outside of adding the sample page. I don’t want to set up a child theme until I know this theme works.

    Please look at https://www.dev.the-white-knight.com/?page_id=2 again. There is no change. Paragraphs are still not present and there are still no bullets showing.

    ul li {
    list-style-type: circle; /* or whatever style you want */
    list-style-position: inside;
    }
    should do the trick.

    I wish I could tell you that it worked, but it didn’t. See the page again with the fixes applied.

    This theme was downloaded over the last couple of days. I tried to fix the site I am working on by using the suggested css fixes before I turned to the support board, and they did not work in the other site either.

    I installed this new site on my server to start clean (just in case I mucked something up in my child theme.) The page I sent you has had no modifications other than what you’ve asked me to do.

    Ok i can see in the head part of the page that the reset.css is loaded after style.css. This is the problem.
    Any change you could do to style.css is reset by reset.css.

    I don’t know if it is possible, but if I were you, i’ll try to put reset.css loaded before style.css in the theme.

    Good luck !

    Yep….whoever is responsible for this theme needs to make the modification and re-upload it to WordPress.

    I went ahead and added a child theme to my test site because I was noticing that changes I made on the other were still not showing up.

    There is yet another issue. If you look at the page source from the sample page, you’ll notice that the link to the stylesheet that should be loading from the child theme is not. It is reloading the parent theme.

    Sounds like you haven’t set up your child theme correctly. What is in your child theme’s functions.php file?

    Scratch my last post guys…. My apologies. They were doing some “unannounced” work on the server….uploads weren’t taking and my child theme files were only partially loaded. It took me a while to figure out what the heck was going on.

    So, is this topic now resolved?

    Yes, esmi. All good now. The reload did the trick.

    Excellent ??
