If anyone is waiting for my next Cicerone post I apologize for the delay. The Cicerone Certification Program [series] : Certified Cicerone [2] post has been done for several days but WordPress has seemingly lost its mind when it comes to lists lately. Ordered. Unordered. Simple 1-level or multi-nested. Doesn’t matter. Completely lost its little effin’ mind.
I am beyond pissed and have wasted several hours at this point. It isn’t just display although that is going to complete and utter crap but also semantics. WordPress is killing the meaning of what I attempt to write. Isn’t that freaking special of it?
Here’s an example of what I am talking about (screenshot of one thing WP is doing):
Janked up list in WordPress
There is some seriously whack shit going on there. I researched and found something about lists and nested lists in the Codex but it did not help.
I had also been using a plugin, Table of Contents Plus, which is currently disabled, but it was not the cause of the problem as it had started happening before I installed it. Early on the lists were short, simple and not so big a deal if a non-breaking space added an extra line somewhere. Now it is far worse.
I have been pulling the HTML out, emptying the entire post content, cleaning up the HTML in a text editor and pasting it back in. Immediately WordPress screws it up. At my wit’s end now. All of the other lists are small and have no nesting but, even when I pulled the above one out as a list and only put a .png image of the outline in, they still get hosed.
::Grrr::
