# Bullet Point Problems (theme has unusual code)

 * First of all, the theme I’m using calls the sidebar “sidebox”, and the css seems
   different from the other threads I read, re: the removal of bullet points.
 * Here’s all my “sidebox” code:
 *     ```
       /* sidebox */
       div.sidebox{background:#F5F4F0 url(../images/sidebox-bg.jpg) left top repeat-x;border:#DDD 1px solid;padding:15px 18px 15px 18px;margin:0 0 20px 0;}
       div.sidebox div.sidebox-heading{border-bottom:#CCC 1px solid;margin:0 0 10px 0;}
       div.sidebox div.sidebox-heading h2{font-size:180%;font-weight:normal;color:#000000;font-family:Georgia;margin:0 0 6px 0;}
       div.sidebox ul{padding:0px;margin:0px;list-style:none;}
       div.sidebox ul li{background:url(../images/sidebox-li.jpg) 0 5px no-repeat;padding:4px 0 4px 23px;list-style:none;}
       div.sidebox ul li ul{padding:0px;margin:5px 0 -2px 0px;list-style:none;}
       div.sidebox ul li ul li{background:url(../images/sidebox-li.jpg) 0 5px no-repeat;padding:4px 0 4px 23px;list-style:none;}
       div.sidebox li a:link, div#footermenu li a:visited{color:#444;}
       div.sidebox li a:hover{color:#C00;}
       div.banners img{padding:2px;}
       div.error{padding:5px 15px;margin:0 0 15px 0;font-size:12px;color:#c00;border-top:2px solid #fe7b7a;border-bottom:2px solid #fe7b7a;background:#FFD6D6;}
       div.success{padding:5px 15px;margin:0 0 15px 0;font-size:12px;color:#57861A;border-top:2px solid #6CAA00;border-bottom:2px solid #6CAA00;background:#EEF7DD;}
       ```
   
 * As you can see, all of the “li” code has “list-style:none;” added, yet the bullet
   points are still there. I’m new to code, and I’m not figuring this out.
 * Help?

 * Code isn’t useful for CSS questions – please post a link to your site.
 * What theme is this?

 * Yes, here: [Carolers Inc.](http://carolersinc.com)
 * The link to the designers’ site is at the bottom. It’s not a common one, it seems.
   The code’s a bit quirky in places.

 * Try this.
 *     ```
       .widget {
           list-style: none;
       }
       ```

 * The css you posted isn’t working because your site has no `.sidebox` to be found.

 * If I go through and change it all to div.sidebar, would that help? I added the
   widget code into my stylesheet, but the bullet points are still there.

 * Works for me in Firebug – where did you put the code?

 * I put it in under “sidebox,” which is like “sidebar,” in layout.css, which is
   basically like my stylesheet. The stylesheet imports layout.css, which is not
   accessible in my Editor on WordPress, so I have to download it on Filezilla, 
   edit it, and upload it again directly onto the server.

 * Let’s make it easier – add this plugin :

 * Try the code there.
