    Hi there, it looks like you have your above WPcom site set up in English and are using both and LTR and RTL. The theme you are using, Redhill, is not marked as having RTL support, but if you want to add RTL text you’ll need to add RTL paragraph tags from the code editor. Edit your post or page and open the code editor. In the paragraphs that read from right-to-left add “dir=rtl” to the paragraph tag so it reads: <p dir=rtl> and make sure to close your paragraph with </p> .

    But you seem to have a bigger issue on your site. Every link I clicked on in your menu caused my own site’s editor to open.

    I’m also flagging this for Staff attention so they can see what’s going on behind the scenes.

  • Hi there,

    I noticed that the language of your site is set to English, since it’s a left-to-right language, the dots will display on the left. If you change it to Arabic it should display correctly.

    Hi staff-mckluskey it looks like we may have cross posted.

    Will the list dots appear on the right if the paragraph/list is enclosed in P RTL tags? Thanks.

    Also could you address the menu issue I mentioned above? Thanks.

  • It will work, yes. :)

    As for the menu, it looks like they’ve added the editor URLs for the pages, not the actual pages.

    Thanks staff-blorbo


    @mehtap9
    were you able to work this out? I see you’ve made your site Private, so I’ve removed my previous screenshot.

    Let us know if you need more help with this.
