# Additional CSS not working?

 * Blog post formatting not appearing
 * The formatting was working fine for dozens of posts, but now when I create a 
   new post the formatting (e.g. Bulleted or Numbered lists) is there in visual 
   editor but does not display when I preview or publish.
 * I am typing in directly, no cut and paste. I am on Windows 10, Chrome, WordPress
   4.8.
    The theme is a child theme of Cherry.
 * What I have in Additional CSS is:
    .panel ul { list-style: disc; }
 * ol {
    list-style: disc; }
 * Thanks, Gerry

 * I double-checked and your Additional CSS is working, but some other styles are
   overriding your CSS.
 * Because of this try using more specific CSS selectors, like:
 *     ```
       body ul,
       body ol {
           list-style: disc;
       }
       ```

 * So I replaced
 * .panel ul {
    list-style: disc; }
 * ol {
    list-style: disc; }
 * with
 * body ul,
    body ol { list-style: disc; }
 * But its still not working?

 * Try this instead:
 *     ```
       body ul,
       body ol {
           list-style: disc;
           list-style-position: inside;
       }
       ```

 * Progress!
 * I did 3 lines of both an ordered and unordered list and it worked for the unordered(
   all 6 lines came out as unordered).
 * I then changed both to ordered and it still all came out as unordered.

 * I misunderstood your intention from the other thread. If you want to use numbered
   list for OL tags and bullet lists for UL tags, try this:
 *     ```
       body ul,
       body ol {
           list-style-position: inside;
       }
   
       body ul {
           list-style-type: disc;
       }
   
       body ol {
           list-style-type: decimal;
       }
       ```

 * Thanks Andrew, seems to be sorted!
 * Best regards, Gerry
