Why Can’t Wordpress 2.5.2 Display Bulletpoints?
Blogging June 4th, 2008
- They show in the wysiwyg editor - wordpress or offline
- The proper code shows in html view
- The bulletpoints flash up for a split second when displaying the blog post…
- Then they disappear
The above lines are all bulleted - except Wordpress 2.5.2 can’t display them. Does anyone know why?
Update (6/5): Well, apparently Stuart does. In a comment below he explains:
The Newsgator widget is inserting the following CSS which is disabling the bullets:
li {
list-style-type: none;
list-style-image: none;
list-style-position: outside;
}
Oops. I thought it was specific to the latest WP release, as I’ve only noticed this error recently. The Enterprise Irregular badge (the one from NewsGator) has been on my sidebar for a long time without causing any problems, so they must have changed something very recently.
I temporarily disabled the widget and bullets are displayed correctly, which confirms that Stuart is right. I am going to re-enable the widget (and thus kill bullets) hoping that NewsGator will soon fix the problem.
Update #2: NewsGator fixed the issue in a matter of hours. Thanks, guys, now we have our ammo bullets back.

They showed up while the page was loading, but disappeared once it had finished. Weird!
Exactly. The case of the disappearing bulletpoints.
The Newsgator widget is inserting the following CSS which is disabling the bullets:
li {
list-style-type: none;
list-style-image: none;
list-style-position: outside;
}
Cheers - Stuart.
Yep - exactly the same behavior at my place. Bleh!
Same here. Might be a faulty CSS rule.
Yep, Stuart nailed it. Not a WordPress issue.
As an aside, the Firebug plugin and “inspect” makes it quick thing to sort out.
Wow, Stuart, thanks, you’re right. I’ve temporarily disabled the widget and bulletpoints were fine. See updated post above.
Thanks!
