In reply to: Outbound API to send WP contact info to CRM systemThanks for the response. I can see now that a) it’s doable, and b) it’s too much learning curve for myself personally. However, that’s all good as far as knowing what to do next.

In reply to: Outbound API to send WP contact info to CRM systemThanks for the response. The contact forms would be Contact Form 7 and/or DIVI’s contact form. The CRM is one of several that have full feature APIs, including Freshsales and Insightly.
Having done a little more research it looks like this is something that could be done by using WordPress API’s. Is that correct?
After that it looks like I need to know the general location for “where to put the code”. Should I be thinking about the functions.php file of my child theme?

In reply to: Any way to hide the site “in draft”, and still view pagesMy answer: build a local machine site and build complex posts there first. Was very easy to set up the local site using instructions in WP documentation.

In reply to: Commenting ApproachAfter a night’s sleep it’s totally clear that the approach should be posts, with categories to organize them for “relative permanance”. Did that, am happy with it.

In reply to: Left Justify Page TitleThanks, that did it. Actually, “centered” worked better!

In reply to: How to remove line spacing and get indent in unordered listClarification: First, I figured out that it wasn’t line spacing within a bulleted line, it was the line spacing between the bullets.
So I got some other input, and built this:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "https://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html> <head> <style type="text/css"> .postlist ul { list-style-position:outside; margin:0; padding:0; } .postlist li { list-style-type:square; margin-left:20px; } </style> </head> <body> some header <ul class="postlist"><li>list item 1</li><li>list item 2</li></ul> </body> </html>It works in a standard web page, though it still doesn’t remove the extra line between the “some header” and the first list item.
AND, the class doesn’t work in the WordPress Page…all it provides is square bullet…still much space between bullets, and no indent.
If I just pop this:
some header <ul class="postlist"><li>list item 1</li><li>list item 2</li></ul>into a new page, it looks ok (except for the line at the start of the list) in the editor “visual”, but doesn’t have the indent or correct spacing between lines in the page view.
So, should the styles be in rtl.css or style.css or both?
Any thing special about formatting the styles in these files, or are they just standard css?

In reply to: How to remove line spacing and get indent in unordered listThanks for the input. I’ve got this in the template rtl.css file and the stylesheet:
.postlist li {line-height: 1em; list-style-type: square; padding-left: 10px;}the target text from “view source” looks like this:
<ul class="postlist"> <li>business/technology alignment,</li> <li>the “skills crunch”,</li> <li>globalization,</li> <li>environmental issues, and</li> <li>accelerating competitiveness.</li> </ul>However, it’s only showing the square (so the class is “taking”), but not the indent or line spacing.

In reply to: How to remove line spacing and get indent in unordered listSo far, I’ve only altered “Kubrick” with this
.postlist li {list-style-type: square;} which I apply to the ul's<ul class=”postlist”>
