WordPress Block Editor by default provides a simple design for bullets and lists. Below is the screenshot of how you can add a simple code for lists with WordPress Block Editor. We used the 「HTML」 blocks for adding the codes, and the 「Paragraph」 blocks for adding the regular text:
This is a screenshot of how this would look on the frontend:
If you would like to add some style to bullets and lists, you can use the following CSS. Below are the steps that show how to use CSS.
Step 1 – Add the following CSS classes to ol (ordered lists) and ul (unordered list) with the following HTML codes:
Code for ol (ordered lists) – 『ast-content-ol-list』
- One
- Two
- Three
- Four
- Five
Code for ul (ordered lists) – 『ast-content-ul-list』
- Red
- Blue
- White
- Yellow
- Green
You can modify the number of list items by removing lines or adding new ones (
).
Step 2 – Now it』s time to style your lists. Navigate to the Customizer and copy the following custom CSS to your website』s 「Additional CSS」.
/* Order list style */ .entry-content ol.ast-content-ol-list {
counter-reset: my-ol-counter;
margin-left:1.4em;
}
.entry-content ol.ast-content-ol-list li {
position: relative;
padding-left: 30px;
list-style: none;
}
.entry-content ol.ast-content-ol-list li:before {
position: absolute;
top:50%;
left: 0;
width: 20px;
height: 20px;
margin-top: -10px;
color: #fff;
text-align:center;
background-color: #0274be;
content: counter(my-ol-counter,decimal);
counter-increment: my-ol-counter;
font-size: 11px;
-webkit-border-radius: 50%;
border-radius: 50%;
}
/* Unordered list style */
.entry-content ul.ast-content-ul-list {
margin-left:1.4em;
}
.entry-content ul.ast-content-ul-list li {
position: relative;
padding-left: 30px;
list-style: none;
}
.entry-content ul.ast-content-ul-list li:after{
position: absolute;
top: -webkit-calc( 50% - -1px);
top: calc( 50% - -1px);
left: 0; width: 20px;
height: 20px;
margin-top: -10px;
padding-top: 2px;
color: #fff;
text-align:center;
background-color: #0274be;
content: "e900";
font-size: 10px;
font-family: 'Astra';
-webkit-border-radius: 50%;
border-radius: 50%;
-webkit-transform: rotate(270deg);
