    My new Stax site looks great… except that when I have a bulleted list where the items line wrap, the second line is not matching the first line indent.
    To make matters worse, it *looks ok* in the edit mode, but is wrong in the *view* mode.
    Site is still private, so am attaching a couple of screen grabs.
    Not sure if it makes a difference that this bullet list is within a toggle box (I wouldn’t think so)

    Hi Christine,

    Thanks for reaching out! The rendered version on the frontend of the site is actually the intended display (with the indention). However, you can adjust this to look more like the editor by adding the following custom CSS:

    
ul li {
    list-style: outside !important;
    list-style-type: disc;
    margin: 6px 0px;
    padding: 0px !important;
}

    You can add this style in the Customizer or Site Editor. Let us know if this resolves the list item alignment.

    Thanks!

    well… I put this into the Additional CSS section in the Appearance > Customize section, and nothing changed.

    To clarify, the issue is that the second text line of a list is matching the indent of the bullet icon, not the first line of text, which is what one would expect in a text document. It’s just that little bit of annoying, and it’s not critical.

    Site is now live, so you can see it here, and open up the “Leadership” button.

    Thanks.

    Hi Christine,

    See attached screenshot. Is this not correct?

    Thanks!

    That’s what I’m seeing… but if it was a text document, the second line of text should align with the text, not the bullet point.

    The attached file is what it would look like in a word processor/print document. (and is also what it looks like in the edit view)

    Ah, I see what you mean.

    Try adding the following CSS (replacing previous):

    ul li {
    list-style: outside;
    list-style-type: disc;
    margin: 6px 0px 6px 18px;
    padding: 0;
}

    This should fix the alignment.

    in the Additional CSS section? Or somewhere else?

    I put it into the Additional CSS section, and nothing is changing.

    It’s not critical, it’s just annoying.
