 * I’m looking at the demo and it appears bullet points are deliberately removed
   from the design.

 * Yes, but modifications will have to be made through a [Child Theme](http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes)
   stylesheet or [Custom CSS Manager](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/custom-css-manager-plugin/)
   plugin. Have you either?

 * Your bullets are already enabled but are being hidden because of lack of padding.
   Find this line in your child theme’s CSS:
 *     ```
       ol, ul {
           list-style: disc outside none;
       }
       ```
   
 * and add some padding so it looks like this:
 *     ```
       ol, ul {
           list-style: disc outside none;
           padding-left:10px;
       }
       ```
   
 * This will add padding to all your lists whether they have bullets or not so you
   may see some affects elsewhere. For more on CSS Lists read this:

 * Thanks for your response CedarPontConcepts.
    Right now I don’t have a child theme.
   Do I need to create one?

 * You really should use a child theme. Otherwise if the theme updates you will 
   lose all of your custom edits. It’s really not that hard and only takes a few
   minutes. Use the link that Andrew posted above.

 * OK. I used the custom css manager plugin and copied your code into it.
    Now the
   bullets appear. Thanks everyone for your help!

 * Hi CedarPoint,
 * For some reason the css code is not working for other pages.
