# Create list not behaving properly

 * I have a create list in my post that is not behaving properly after my most recent
   update. I’m not sure what changed but for a numbered list, a numbered image space
   appeared below the intro paragraph (throws off the list numbering and the image
   is blank). There is also a second section description (shouldn’t have an image)
   that now has an image + number which further throws off the numbering. This does
   not appear in the card preview during editing. I also checked the internet wayback
   machine and it’s not there either. ( [https://web.archive.org/web/20260103000714/https://www.albomadventures.com/new-zealand-road-trips/](https://web.archive.org/web/20260103000714/https://www.albomadventures.com/new-zealand-road-trips/))
 * Can you fix this?

   I’m looking

 * Hi again, [@jeffajeffa](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jeffajeffa/)!
 * Thanks again for the report, and sorry for the rough edge here. You’re right 
   that the behavior changed.
 * In Create 1.x, a list item with only a title and description rendered as an inline
   section heading: no image placeholder, no link button, and it didn’t count as
   a number in numbered lists. A number of publishers used that pattern intentionally
   to break long lists into sections.
 * When we added image and link support to text-only items in 2.0, those legacy 
   items got accidentally promoted to full list items, so they started rendering
   with an empty gray image box and bumping the numbering on every item below them.
 * We’ve just merged a fix that restores the original behavior: any text item with
   no image, link, or custom button text renders as a bare section heading again,
   exactly like it did in 1.x; no markup or styling change beyond that. Existing
   cards will fix themselves, nothing for you to migrate. We’ve also added an explicit“
   Show as title and description only” toggle in the editor so the intent is visible
   going forward.
 * The fix will ship in the next Create release. Thanks again for flagging it!
 * If you’d like to test it before it releases in full (probably May 5 or May 6),
   please email [support@create.studio](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/create-list-not-behaving-properly/support@create.studio?output_format=md)!
