Nivo slider displaying numbers instead of background image

I am running intro a pretty strange situation. I've added a nivo slider on a site but when I turn controlnav on the slide navigator is composed of numbers. The thing is I'd like to use bullets instead of those numbers. I've tried to add text-indent:-9999px but that doesn't work. I've used Nivo before plenty of times, this is the first time it's happening. The script is new and as far as I can see there is no scripting or css issue that might be causing it

Site is here: http://minimaltheme01.brideappeal.com/

Any idea why this might be happening? Thanks!

By default nivo slider displays the numbers. To get them to be restyled and show bullets instead of the numbers you can use a theme or you could optionally write your own css to style them.

Check the documentation to see how to include a theme.

You will need to alter to html a little.

Check out these 2 js fiddles for (rough) examples of with and without the theme.

http://jsfiddle.net/8Tafp/ - with

In the default-theme css file, it includes the following styles that display the links as bullets. 

.theme-default .nivoSlider a {
    border:0;
    display:block;
}

.theme-default .nivo-controlNav {
    text-align: center;
    padding: 20px 0;
}
.theme-default .nivo-controlNav a {
    display:inline-block;
    width:22px;
    height:22px;
    background:url(bullets.png) no-repeat;
    text-indent:-9999px;
    border:0;
    margin: 0 2px;
}
.theme-default .nivo-controlNav a.active {
    background-position:0 -22px;
}
