Lists not working in Blog Posts

I am just using the default WordPress editor to enter my Blog Posts, and for some reason now the Bulleted and Numbered lists are not displaying properly. This is NOT good if all my body content of my Posts will not show lists as I use them often to organize the text. Please help. An example can be found here:

  Hi Eric,

  You are right; the Brizy content element is not as versatile as the Brizy editor.

  There are two ways you can setup blogposts with Brizy. If you need to use bullets and numbering in your blogposts, you will need to setup your blogposts following the second approach.

  1. Add content in Gutenberg: Blog post content is added in Gutenberg and later brought to Brizy using the content element in the blogpost template
  2. Add content in Brizy: The Blogpost title, excerpt, featured image, categories and other meta data are entered in Gutenberg. The blog post content is added directly in Brizy. Since the content is added directly in Brizy using different Brizy elements, you have much far more flexibility. You can add bullet points, numbering, timeline, accordion, lines, icons and buttons etc. You are not restricted by the capabilities of the content element.

  Currently you have setup all your blogposts following the first approach. You have an option to follow the second approach for the blogposts which require bullets and numbering. If you would like to explore this possibility, I can convert one of your blogposts to the second approach and in a video lesson explain how you can do the same.

  Thank you for your response but this is not a reasonable solution. We have hundreds of Blog Posts, and I cannot convert ALL of these to Brizy in order to make sure the Typography elements like Lists (bullets and numbers) work properly. Is there a CSS solution to make sure the Lists will display properly using the default WordPress content editor?

  I have been pleased with some of the features of Brizy, however this Typography issue is very concerning. We migrated from the Unyson Philanthropy theme that was the previous version of your website builder. Brizy is powerful but these are basic functions of a WordPress site that should work. The typography elements are very important to preserve the display settings and it would be an unreasonable amount of work to convert all of our past Posts into the Brizy elements. Please let me know if you can provide an alternative solution or if your developers can release improvements in an update to utilize the Lists and Heading settings from the WordPress editor for typography.

  Hi Eric,

  You are right if you use bullets in all your blogposts. You need to convert only the blogposts which require additional formatting features that the content element does not support. Out of 100 blogposts, if only 5 use bullet points, you need to convert only 5 (you can leave the 95 as it is)

  The Brizy Content element is designed to handle all heading typographies. At the moment the content element has a bug and hence the headings are not being displayed correctly. When this bug will be fixed, the content element will start displaying headings correctly again. However the content element is less versatile compared to the Brizy editor. If you need to use the Brizy editor features in your blogpost, you will need to follow the second approach I have mentioned above.

  Adding more features to the content element is a possibility but it would be a Feature Request and hence we can't give a timeline for its implementation.

  Hi Again, the issue is not only on 5 post out of 100. I am sure over half of our 200+ posts use Lists and it would take hours to review each one and manually make these updates. If the Bug will be fixed for the Headings, why is the List element not also a priority for fixing this key issue in typography? Can you please escalate this to the Dev team? Am I able to speak to someone else to voice this issue? Is there a Custom CSS issue that can address this? I can see that the Blog Post does have the <li> in the code, so it means it's there and we just need some CSS to make sure the list displays properly. An example Post is here:

  Can you PLEASE help with this. It is not sustainable to have to re-create ALL our blog posts within the Brizy builder. There needs to be another solution that does not require manually updating hundreds of Posts.

  Hi Eric,

  I had not tested if the Brizy content element supports bullets and numbering. Today I did a test; please see my test here. https://jmp.sh/JKgd2HH  To fix this issue, can you try this?

  Take a full backup of your website and try changing your theme to one of these

  1. Blocksy 
  2. Astra
  3. Twenty Twenty One

  Thank you, the Astra or Twenty Twenty One theme works with the Lists formatting, however I lose the Heading (H1, H2, H3, etc.) formatting and I have to keep using the custom CSS I was given by your support previously. Is there any update when the H1, H2, etc. issue will be fixed with the Brizy builder?

  Hi Eric,

  Looks like the heading typography issue with the Brizy templates is already fixed at our end. It should be available to you along with the next update.
