Second line of bulleted list doesn't indent

Topic summary

A user encountered a formatting issue with bulleted lists in Shopify’s Dawn theme where second and subsequent lines weren’t indenting properly on the live site, despite displaying correctly in the backend.

Problem Details:

  • The issue appeared in the Features & Benefits section of a product page
  • Initially attempted fix using list-style-position: outside didn’t work

Solution Provided:
A PageFly representative offered a CSS fix requiring:

  1. Navigate to Online Stores > Themes > Edit code
  2. Open the theme.liquid file
  3. Add custom CSS code above the closing </body> tag

Resolution:
The user successfully implemented the solution after an initial placement error, confirming it resolved the indentation problem.

I’m using the default Dawn theme. The list shows properly in the backend but the site does not have lines 2+ properly indenting.

When googling, I found list-style-position: outside as a possible fix but that rule but it does NOT solve the problem.

Thoughts on the solution?
