Hi Clare,
I had to open the actual css files from my CMS to fix this issue. The only css file I can seem to edit through WordPress’ Dashboard gets superseded by the problem file.
From your CMS, open /wp-content/themes/simpleo/css/sidebar.css
Once you have that open:
Find: “.widget ul li”
Delete the line that says: “background: url(“../images/cat-arrow.png”) no-repeat scroll left center transparent;”
Scroll down to “.widget ul li a, .fbox ul li a”
Change: padding: 0 0 0 15px;
To: padding: 0;
That should tidy up your sidebars. I applied it on my site at: http://travissenzaki.com
Thanks Travis – worked a treat!
