• We are using the 2014 base WordPress theme and we’re having trouble with it forcing all ordered lists to use numerals rather than allowing us to set the type to lower case letters or the like. I assume I need to add CSS to block this behavior, but I’m not quite sure how to do that.

    You can set different levels to different types. You might try undoing what the theme did by setting it to initial (not sure if that will work).

    I need a mix of types at different levels of nesting. I’d rather just be able to dictate the type inline. For example:

    <ol type="a">
    or
    <ol type="i">
    

    While you can add an inline style to your ordered lists, it’s better to add a class name, instead, and then define rules which apply the style you want. For example:

    ol.lowercase {
       list-style-type: lower-alpha;
    }

    This CSS rule will assign lower case alpha characters (a, b, c, etc) as the bullets for any ordered lists which have lowercase assigned to it, like this:
    <ol class="lowercase">

    You can do the same for Roman numeral numbering (i, ii, iii, iv, etc), in either upper or lower case.

    This page lists all of the different list-style-type values that can be used.

    If the troubleshooting already posted made no difference for you, then, I recommend asking at https://wordpress.org/support/theme/twentyfourteen so the theme’s developers and support community can help you with this.
