Dawn Theme: Need help with indenting the paragraphs with bullet points

Topic summary

A user needed help indenting bullet points site-wide in the Dawn theme so bullets appear outside paragraphs for rich text and image with text sections.

Solution provided:

  • Navigate to Online Store → Theme → Edit code
  • Locate the base.css file
  • Add the following CSS at the end:
.rte ul, .rte ol {
  list-style-position: outside;
}

Outcome:
The original poster confirmed the solution worked perfectly. However, a later user reported mixed results—the fix worked in one section but removed bullets entirely in another section, suggesting potential compatibility issues with specific section types or theme customizations.

Hello Everyone,

I need to indent all the lines of bullet points site wide so that they appear in one line and the bullet points are outside the paragraphs, for rich text and image with text sections.

Please check screenshot.

Thank you.
