    Please link to a page where you have an example unordered list.

    The tutorial code works perfectly on your site. I just applied it and tested with my browser's inspection tool.

    You have to add the checkmark class to the list on the page. You can't do this with the visual editor. You have to use the editor's text tab to add the class. When you are done, the HTML for the unordered list will be:

    <ul class="checkmark">
        <li>Modes of Operation</li>
        <li>Working Time</li>
        <li>Product Specs(Length,LED Count,Light Color)</li>
        <li>Accessories Included</li>
        <li>Warranties</li>
        <li>Weatherpoofing</li>
    </ul>

    Next, add the three CSS blocks to style.css just before the media queries.

    ul.checkmark li {
        font-size: 16px;
        list-style-type: none;
        padding-left: 2.5em;
        position: relative;
    }
    
    ul.checkmark li::before {
        content: " ";
        display: block;
        border: solid 0.8em #660a5e;
        border-radius: .8em;
        height: 0;
        width: 0;
        position: absolute;
        left: 0.5em;
        top: 40%;
        margin-top: -0.5em;
    }
    
    ul.checkmark li::after {
        content: " ";
        display: block;
        width: 0.3em;
        height: 0.6em;
        border: solid white;
        border-width: 0 0.2em 0.2em 0;
        position: absolute;
        left: 1em;
        top: 40%;
        margin-top: -0.2em;
        -webkit-transform: rotate(45deg);
        -moz-transform: rotate(45deg);
        -o-transform: rotate(45deg);
        transform: rotate(45deg);
    }

    This code produces a white check mark in a purple circle.
