SOLVED: Backslash gets removed in content of pseudo element

Sridhar created a tutorial on how to add a dot separator between menu items: How to Add a Dot Separator Between Nav Menu Items in Bricks – BricksLabs. Originally it did not work for me when I put his code in the Builder/Settings/Custom Code section (saving would strip off the backslash). it did work when I put the code in CSS section of the Nav Menu element itself. Since upgrading to bricks 1.4.0.2, there is a problem: I see the characters 25CF as the menu separator on the front end. (Dots shows correctly in builder and preview). Code is still in the CSS section of the Nav Menu element itself.

Hi Nora,
Thanks so much for your report!

The issue is related to the backslash that gets removed and has already been reported.
As a temporary fix, you can try to use two “\” instead of one, but of course, this will break as soon as the issue is fixed.

Best regards,

Hello Nora,

This issue was already fixed in Bricks 1.5 RC. :slight_smile:

Thank you!
