Wonky category on front end

    Hi there–
    Something happened to how Category shows up on Events pages. Before, I would see “Location” and under that, on the next line and flush-left, I see the name of the location and time. Under that, “Category” would be in the same position as “Location” and the category name would be in the same format as the name of the location and time.
    However, suddenly, now, the word Category shows up as it should but the name of the category I’ve assigned is not on the next line, but it’s another line down, it’s also indented, and it has a bullet in front of it.
    Could you tell me if I inadvertently changed a setting to cause this, or suggest what I can do to get it back into the same format as “Location” (location name) above it?
    Currently the site is hidden from public view (not live yet) so I can’t provide a link, but could send a screen shot.
    Thanks in advance.

    did you updated your theme or other plugin which causes this issue?

    Nope, I’m not updating to 3.9.x until it has a tad more time, so am keeping plugin updates held off also.
    The only two clues I have is that I have 3 categories, Region A, Region B and Region C. I changed them temporarily to subcategories of the word “Events” so it would be Events/Region A, etc. Then re-created stand-alone categories again and re-attached the events to those categories via bulk action. The reason I suspect that is because the word “Events” would have gone in that extra line that separates the word “Categories” from the category name, and that the category name has a bullet in front of it and is intented.
    The other clue is that my developer looked in settings and noticed that Locations is set up as a paragraph and Categories is set up as a list. (I don’t understand that part myself, but she said so.)

    I think a screenshot would help here, but it sounds like you have an HTML list that’s not styled the same as paragraphs in terms of idents, etc.

    Can I email a screenshot? I don’t know how to put one here.

    Use https://snag.gy/ and post the image url here.

    Ooops. I had to leave this topic to handle something urgent, and came back to it, following your instruction only by memory. Consequently, instead of your suggested “Snaggy” my memory told me “Snag It” so just signed up for a 15-day free trial for SnagIt which will cost $49 if kept beyond the trial, lol. However, I was able to do a screen capture that I can give you with a URL link to their sharing site. So please try this, it should take you to the screenshot that shows my problem.

    Thanks in advance.

    Try adding this to the end of the style.css file of your theme:

    ul.event-categories {
    margin-left: 0;
 }

ul.event-categories li {
    list-style: none;
    margin-left: 0;
    padding-left: 0;
}
