# Can’t edit class…?

 * I added a text widget to one of the side columns of my site, but it unfortunately
   does not display like the other widgets. It seems to have its own class that 
   I cannot find to edit. The same issue was raised in the following thread 5 months
   ago, but no answer was given:
 * [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/118104](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/118104)
 * The question was raised another time as well, but while the moderator edited 
   out the code from the poster’s question, they did not answer the question.
 * Like the above thread, the problem class is textwidget.
 * I’m using the Talian 1.0 theme and you can see the problem under “For Merchants”
   on the left side of the site at [http://www.affconnect.com/](http://www.affconnect.com/)
 * Has anyone seen similar and managed to fix it? Somewhere I read that textwidget
   was a class outside of themes. Is that true? Can I somehow force it to not use
   the textwidget class on text widgets? Is everything in WordPress so convoluted,
   or did I just pick a troublesome theme?
 * Thanks much!

 * The problem is your text in the text widget it’s just to links. You need to add
   the formating your self. Use something like this
 *     ```
       <ul>
       <li>
       <a href="somelink">Link</a>
       </li>
       <li>
       <a href="somelink2">Link2</a>
       </li>
       </ul>
       ```
   
 * Notice the ul and li tags and their relation to the links.

 * You know, I did that yesterday, but guess I didn’t save it right, or maybe I 
   added all the css for UL and LI after I removed the tags.
 * Many thanks for sorting me out! Sometimes it takes a fresh pair of eyes. I don’t
   suppose you have a site I can link to in thanks? I’ll add it to my blog post 
   on the subject. A little link juice never hurt anyone. 🙂
