wysiwyg creates lists but publishing doesn’t show them

  • Hi all,

    The problem occurs when I write posts with bullet or numbered lists. They do look fine in the wysiwyg editor, both when looking at the lists in code and visual view. However, after publishing them the lists are gone–there are no bullets or numbers.

    Could it be the theme breaking the formating or anyhthing else? Any suggestion how to fix the issue is welcome. Thanks.

  • It would be interesting to know if you see the same issue when using the Default theme. It very well could be a theme related issue and that might help narrow it a bit.

    Thanks Chris, you are right. The dafault shows both bullets and numbers. Since it is the theme, what can I do to work around it? Thanks.

    Start by comparing the ul and li stuff in the Default theme’s stylesheet with your own theme’s.

    Or post a link to your blog here and see if any of the CSS wizards can lend a hand.

    The list tags generated by the current theme don’t look suspicious:

    <ul>
	<li>Text</li>
	<li>Text</li>
</ul>

<ol>
	<li>Text</li>
        <li>Text</li>
</ol>

    I’d appreciate someone taking a look at my CSS files. The website is still under development but I’ve got the basics taken care of.

    Thanks a lot.

    (apologies, I lost track of this topic…)

    Well, first your theme resets list elements.

    ol, ul, li { margin: 0; padding: 0; border: 0; outline: 0;
font-size: 100%; vertical-align: baseline; background: transparent; }
ol, ul { list-style: none; }

    After that, they don’t change unless in #navigation or #main…

    So, you need some more styling for in the posts (under #box_content).
