# Numbered List

 * After upgrading to 4.3.1, when I use numbered list everything looks good in WordPress
   until I publish. The numbers are not on the first line of the paragraph but rather
   the bottom line of the paragraph. Also after adding some content to another post,
   my numbered lists no longer shows numbers, but rather as bullets. Is this a glitch
   in WordPress or with my Tesseract theme?
 * Here is the page the numbered list is not working on:
    [http://www.suzym.com/why-are-lemons-good-for-you/](http://www.suzym.com/why-are-lemons-good-for-you/)…
   under Health Benefits
 * After trying to update the post, “1” is still at the bottom and “2” is in the
   correct spot.
 * Thank you in advance.
    Susan

 * In her theme’s stylesheet, the relevant code was
 *     ```
       .widget ol {
         list-style: inside;
       }
       ```
   
 * So the goofy `<ol>`s only occur when they’re contained within an element with
   the class “widget”. The second page (“What Is the Law of Attraction”) showed 
   a text widget with an `<ol>` that the first page (“Why Are Lemons Good For You”)
   didn’t have.

 * imsuzy, I see you edited the style sheet directly on your theme. Bear in mind
   that when you update the theme, that edit may be lost. To avoid that you can 
   create a child theme or use custom css.
