 * Hi
 * I use Mantra theme on my page and needed to make with unordered list on one of
   the subpages. HTML code looks ok i.e.
    - ……
    - ……
 * but on the screen I have bullets next to the middle of paragraph instead of next
   to the first line. After changing to another theme it is ok. What is wrong? You
   can see it [here](http://noclegiwparyzu.com/paryskie-ciekawostki)
 * regards
    Tomasz

 * Hey there Tomasz,
 * How are you doing today?
 * This is related to the theme CSS which is the reason you don’t have it when you
   switch the theme. Vertical position of the bullet is set to 51% which is why 
   this is happening if you have two rows the bullet is being displayed in the middle.
 * You should be able to change that with some custom CSS. Please try adding the
   following code to Appearance -> Mantra Settings -> Miscellaneous Settings -> 
   Custom CSS:
 *     ```
       .entry-content ul>li {
         background: url(images/bullet.png) left 6px no-repeat;
       }
       ```
   
 * This should place the bullets on the same spot regardless of rows. If the code
   doesn’t work can you please keep it added and let me know so I can take a look
   🙂
 * Best regards,
    Bojan

 * I have the same issue & have just added the code above. The ‘dots’ have now vanished
   all together.
 * Reducing the code to this (below) has no obvious effect at all.
 *     ```
       .entry-content ul>li {
       left 6px no-repeat;
       }
       ```
   
 * So I’m guessing that the key to resolving this is in this part;
 * `background: url(images/bullet.png)`
 * Any thoughts?

 * Me too. Bullets were centered with any ordered list that is “paragraph” length.
   The CSS above annihilates them completely. So… since I was using a Child Theme,
   I figured I’d add the entire URL/Directory to the bullet.png. Worked perfectly!
 * here’s what I did. NOTE: the bold is stuff you’ll need to change to your own 
   info.
 * .entry-content ul>li {
    background: url([http://www](http://www).**YourWebsitesDomainName**.
   com/**TheWordpressInstallFoldersNameHere**/wp-content/themes/mantra/images/bullet.
   png) }
 * Hope that makes sense.
