 * Hi,
    this problem was already reported by other users, but all the posts are 
   read/only now, so I have to start a new thread…
 * Within all the previous posts there was only one thread with a confirmed fix!
   
   The fix was to add: ul { list-style: disc; padding-left: 20px; }
 * What it didn’t say was “where” to add it.
    So please folks – once again – help
   a newbie fix this bug-eyed monster. Please tell me which file I have to do the
   editing in and where it is located.
 * Thanks a lot & have a great weekend! 🙂

 * If you’re going to make more changes in the future, you could create a [Child Theme](http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes)
   and add that CSS rule to the child theme style.css file.
 * However, for only small cosmetic changes to styling, you may be better off using
   a custom CSS plugin. I like this one:
 * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-custom-css/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-custom-css/)
 * Bear in mind that the CSS you’ve posted will apply itself to every unordered 
   list on your site. If that’s not the desired effect, you could be more specific
   and apply the rule only to certain lists. You’d need to acquire a modicum of 
   CSS knowledge to achieve that.

 * Okay, I tell you what I know so far:
 * 1. I have to edit a style.css-file
    -> Where is it? There are half a dozen style.
   css-files and many other css-files. Which one to pick?
 * 2. Where in the css-file do I have to paste it to?
    -> Just anywhere?

 * Your main style.css file has this line at its bottom:
 * > If you want to add your own css code, please do it in css/custom.css
 * I’d still go the Custom CSS plugin route.

 * > The fix was to add:
 * that fix might be too general, and the CSS not specific enough to correct the
   missing bullets.
 * you don’t seem to have (apart from the menu and the social buttons) any unordered
   list in the linked web page.
 * where do you need to add the bullets?
 * have you contacted your theme’s developer for support with your question?

 * Hi alchymyth,
    since `<ul>` does not work, I had to use `<ol>`. when I exchange
   these, then no bullet points are shown.
 * the code above used in the custom css-Plugin doesn’t do the trick either.
 * good idea to ask the kora-staff! maybe they can provide an executable solution.

 * Just noticed that your theme has a bunch of styling for lists provided by shortcodes.
   Look here:

 * should work if you use more specific CSS like:
 * `.the_content_wrapper ul { list-style-type: disc; padding-left: 20px; }`
 * also include the left padding to make space for the bullet to show.
