<?php query_posts(‘post_type=post’) ?>
placing this preceding the loop did the trick for me.
Thanks Michael, I did not think about the list in terms of links. The a did the trick for me. Will take your advice and look a little more into the devtools.
Oh and i wanted to add another question. How do i address the hovering behavior of the menu. #footer-menu:hover {} or #footer-menu li:hover {} does not seem to work. And how do i remove the underline on these links in the menu? I would usually do it with text-decoration:none in HTML but I don’t know how to address this.
