  I am trying to create an unordered list nested within an ordered list. This is the effect I want:

  1. First Ordered List Element

  * Unordered List element.
  * And another.

  2. Second Ordered List Element

  I’ve set the code up like this:

  [sourcecode language='html']

  1. First Ordered List Element
     • Unordered List element.
     • And another.
  2. Second Ordered List Element

  [/sourcecode]

  As far as I can tell, that should be giving me the look I want. Instead, I’m ending up with:

  1. First Ordered List Element

  1. * Unordered List element.
  2. * And another.

  2. Second Ordered List Element

  Does anyone know why this might be?

  Thanks!

  The placement of the backticks depends on your keyboard locale. Different country = different keyboard. My backticks are on the same key as the ´ and

  I can’t figure how to edit the post :( I’m trying to post sample html but it’s formatted it :(

  The html segment should be: (hope it works this time!)

  1. First Ordered List Element.
     • Unordered List element.
     • And another.

  Thanks, I’ll try again…

  <ol>
  <li>    First ordered list element.  </li>
          <ul>
          <li>    Unordered List Element   </li>
          <li>    And another.  </li>
          </ul>
  <li>    Second ordered list element.  </li>
  </ol>

  See if this works!

  @lusule
  You are using the Kubrick theme. That theme seems to have an issue with ordered/unordered lists, as seen in my post above, where I showed how different themes display lists. I would contact Support about this issue. Not sure they can or will fix it, but at least you should let them know.

  Okay thanks, I was hoping it was just me being an idiot to be honest, so that I could fix it. Guess I’ll have to choose a different theme.

  Yes, Kubrick is a bit tricky about certain things like lists, probably because it’s so old. But there are an abundance of BBH (Big Blue Header) themes in the Design pages.
