I tried using the ul tag and li tags with content but on the published page, shows it all in a single paragraph tag using chrome inspect element.

I believe this should be a setting in wordpress but for the life of me I cannot find anything related to it.

Which setting needs to be adjusted to correct this issue?

P.S. the wordpress was not a clean install, it came from a live site where the html tags does not get stripped. And this issue only happens with pages but not posts.

Any help would be appreciated.

  1. I checked your website http://dev.wlh.co.za/ and there is some CSS code that prevents it to render as you expect. It’s not a problem with WordPress, but you theme or a plugin.

    I found this line many times in code, this stops the browser to render a UL or OL as usual:

    list-style: none;

    Another one you should fix is

    padding: 0;

    Have look on this example:
