    Hi There,

    The plugin is great, thanks for creating it! I have two simple questions (I’ve read the documentation and other threads but struggled with it a bit) and was hoping you would be able to help?

    Firstly, see the page in question here:
    http://whatstodo.in/london/

    I would love to be able to:
    – Remove the bullet points
    – Have a line break between the title and excerpt

    I know these have been answered already but with only a very basic knowledge of CSS I did struggle. Any code and where to dump it would be a godsend!

    Cheers
    Charlie

    Hi bdbolin,

    Thanks for passing the css for bullet points. I would of presumed that this would go in the themes stylesheet. However, placing it as the bottom of it doesn’t do anything. Any thoughts?

    Thanks again for the quick response.

    Cheers
    Charlie

    Charlie,
    Check your CSS, maybe try .lcp_catlist ul {list-style:none;} instead. Check this other post on the WordPress forum see if it helps.

    Regarding the line break between title and excerpt, you could surround your excerpt with a p tag, check other notes on the part about HTML & CSS Customization. You can use these parameters to define a tag to wrap your excerpt and a CSS class:
    excerpt_tag, excerpt_class

    Hope this helps,
    Thanks for using the plugin!

    Fernando,

    That has worked fantastically for both the p tag and CSS! Final question (sorry..), any idea how I left align the list? See example here:
    whatstodo.in/london

    CSS used is this:
    ul.lcp_catlist li {list-style:none;}

    Thanks again.

    Cheers

    Glad I could help. From what I see in the site, the text on the list is aligned. What you might mean is to remove the margin and padding on the left maybe. Use the css margin and padding properties to reduce it on the ul and li elements. You can use Firebug to test it.

    Many thanks, I’ll give the plugin 5 stars too.

    Have a good evening,
    Charlie.
