Missing Unordered Lists' Bullets?

Hello,

After this latest update (08/01/15), all my unordered lists seem to not show up with the bullet points, as you can see in a post like this one. I’m not sure why, but it’s only this one; the ordered list (with numbers in numerical order) works just fine. The code in the editor works just fine, and the spacing is there correctly, it just seems like perhaps the “bullet icon” is missing. Any ideas?

Thanks so much!

Anybody have any ideas? I’ve been trying to solve this, but to no avail yet.

I was able to duplicate this issue on my site just now by editing an existing post and putting in this simple HTML by hand.

Test:
<ul>
<li> Bullet Test</li>
<li> Bullet Test</li>
</ul>

I also don’t see the • character; which is odd as it’s a normal ASCII character entity, and not a custom bullet “style.”

I am running v1.4, with td speedbooster on, and mod_pagespeed off.

Thanks so much, Chris, you’re always the best 🙂 So, this is a legit issue, right? But it must be the theme, I imagine, as that’s the only thing I’ve changed recently.

Same here. Just updated to 1.4 yesterday (Jan. 10); no other plugins updated except the two plugins included with theme (speedbooster and social). WP 4.1, everything else up to date.

So, yes, looks like a bug.

I did manually minify my style.css, but that is just basic minification and doesn’t impact stuff like the bullet points.

In “theory” we might be able to do something temporarily like

ul {list-style-type:circle; color:#000}

Ok, thanks for your help! For now, it’s not the greatest of tragedies for me, as things generally are still spaced and ordered as a list, just minus the icon.

Chris, while you’re here and I have your ear, could I show you a possible related issue?

If you look at this page, which is my landing page for the continent of Africa, the countries in the three columns all show up correctly, but also without the bullet point “icons.”

However, if you look at this other page, which is my landing page for the continent of Europe, and look at the three columns of countries, do you see that the first column is far too left, and thus hidden under the left border? These countries on this page I DID NOT use the unordered listing structure, and they are just there, so that means that these now go to the left? When I played around and ‘previewed’ what would happen if I would bullet-point them into an unordered list, they come back into view, but without the bullet “icons.”

Any idea what’s up, and if this is related? Thanks so much, once again!

Christian

P.S. – Just FYI, these two pages above are ‘custom post types’ but with adjusted page templates as instructed to me by Emil.

oops. That didn’t work. Need to target the body area class

post content/article class + ul …doh.

Going to leave this alone for now.

But yes…. looks like a real *bug* !

I’m assuming the issue with the invisible bullet characters will be addressed in next theme update?
