A Shopify store owner is experiencing an issue where bullet points are not displaying on their live website, affecting:

  • Entire website

Key details:

  • The bullet points appear correctly in the theme editor but fail to render on the live site

The issue appears to be a rendering discrepancy between the editor preview and the published site, suggesting a potential theme CSS/formatting bug or conflict that needs troubleshooting.

Hi @ClearLee

This is a common issue. Your Expanse theme’s code is likely hiding the bullet points by default. You can fix this by adding custom CSS.

  1. Go to Online Store > Themes > Edit code.
  2. Open the Assets folder and click on your main CSS file
  3. Scroll to the bottom and paste this code:
/* Fix for missing bullet points */
.rte ul {
  list-style-type: disc;
  padding-left: 30px;
}
.rte ol {
  list-style-type: decimal;
  padding-left: 30px;
}

This should force your bullet points to appear on the live site.

Hope this helps!

Hello, @ClearLee

This is very easy to fix with a small snippet of custom CSS.

1. Go to Online Store → Theme → Edit code.
2. Open your theme.css / base.css file and paste the code in the bottom of the file.

.rte ul {
  list-style-type: disc !important;
  padding-left: 25px !important;
  margin-bottom: 1rem;
}

.rte ol {
  list-style-type: decimal !important;
  padding-left: 25px !important;
  margin-bottom: 1rem;
}

.rte li {
  margin-bottom: 0.5rem;
}

You can adjust value for indentation.

Thank You!
