The dot your referring to can be eliminated through css. That is if I’m thinking of the right thing… Do you have an example link? * [Mark (podz)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/podz/) * (@podz) * [21 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/list-bullet/#post-59241) * Your menu items are controlled by one of several tags: #menu ul #menu ul ul # menu ul li #menu ul ul li If a style type is not defined, then your browser will default to showing a black circle(bullet, disc) next to each item in a menu. If you define the style you want, you can remove the disc. Do this by including this in the CSS declaration for the items that you want not to have the black circle; list-style: none; For instance, to remove the black circle from an unordered list element: #menu ul li { list-style: none; } * Thread Starter [bikoy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bikoy/) * (@bikoy) * [21 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/list-bullet/#post-59256) * Okay. I got it. Thank you!! 🙂 * Anonymous * [21 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/list-bullet/#post-59406) * how would you use categories without them being in li and ul tags? i have fiddled with my CSS and tried to include the category in one sentence, but it is still treated as though it is in a list. is there a way to not use list styles? * [Sushubh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sushubh/) * (@sushubh) * [21 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/list-bullet/#post-59407) * podz already descibed to make that work using css. * Anonymous * [21 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/list-bullet/#post-59457) * Oh I understand now sorry! * [Beel](https://wordpress.org/support/users/beel/) * (@beel) * [21 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/list-bullet/#post-59466) * Unless you are refering to a post you deleted, no need for apologies.

That really is how WP does it ‘out of the box’ * It is styled, with css, to display everything ‘inline’ despite the fact that there are list elements in there. Applying the default code, with the default CSS will do 2 things: – you will get your inline behaviour – you will probably get ugly character sizes for that page. * Both are fixable, but if I say to do x, y and z, it still equals putting back what was there in the first place and I can’t dress that up any differently. * WordPress is ridiculously easy to customise, as looking round the many thousands of sites will attest to. And I do offer support – quite a lot. * Now..are you going to be constructive, or continue to be hostile ? * [davincim](https://wordpress.org/support/users/davincim/) * (@davincim) * [21 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/list-bullet/#post-59714) * Need to resurrect this topic, hopefully briefly. * I’ve inserted the code as described here including podz’ instruction to add: * `ul li { list-style:none; } * But the arrow bullets are still showing up in my sidebar. Here’s my [site](http://familywebwatch.com/blog/) if someone would take a moment to look at it. 🙂 * Once I figure out how to turn those off, I think I can make a class to keep the list in my posts with bullets and the sidebar elements off. * Suggestions please?
