Tiny but infuriating bug with Plane theme

  In the ‘Recent Posts’ sidebar widget, the first line of each post’s title is indented by what looks like a single space. This creates a very messy look as every 2 or 3 lines are aligned differently from each other. Given that each post gets its own “clock” bullet point to separate it, each line of text should be aligned all the way to the left, as a standard bullet list would be.

  Here’s a screenshot. It’s definitely a tiny bug but every time I see it I think my eye starts to twitch. Thanks!

  I understand and can see what you are saying.

  By any chance, have you got a custom design upgrade? If yes, this can be fixed using the following CSS:

  .widget_recent_entries ul li:before {
  	content: "f017";
  	margin-left: -23px;
  }

  Oops, we don’t need to duplicate the content (f017 is clock icon). So the CSS would be just:

  .widget_recent_entries ul li:before {
  	margin-left: -23px;
  }

  I did not realize your blog is not hosted on WordPress.com. Anyway.

  In future, please post your questions to WordPress.org forums at https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates

  This forum is really for WordPress.com users.

  Just in case you are unaware, please check the difference between WordPress.com and WordPress.org.

  Thanks for the help! I do not have the design upgrade but thank you for the code!

  Also my site is hosted on WordPress.com so this would appear to be the right place to ask but thank you again!

  Howdy @tpflynn!

  Thanks for the report! I’ve made a slight fix to Plane to remedy this issue. No more eye twitching, I hope. :)

  Cheers,
