FAQ

Can I use this also in Divi, Elementor, other PageBuilder or the Classic Editor?

No, the plugin is intended solely for Block Editor aka Gutenberg and always will be.

Can I use other blocks between the list items, e.g. for a description text?

Yes, as follows: enter the desired content between the individual list blocks. The list blocks will now all begin with “1”. For the 2nd list block, enter the number 2 in the “Initial value” field. This will update the view in the block accordingly. Now enter “3” in the next list block, etc.

Can I use different list-styles in one list?

Yes, you could set different list-styles for each list.

Can I use other icons as list points?

Yes, since version 2.0.0 you can use Bootstrap-, Dash- or FontAwesome-icons on each list.

Reviews

Works really well!

Super easy to use, works perfectly. The options didn’t appear for me at first but I updated my wordpress to the newest version and everything worked then. Also it is the only plugin that offers nested listing that didn’t break my theme. ??

Needs tweaking, but it does work

TGC5308 April 4, 2023

This is a brand new plugin, and there was nothing else I saw to fit my needs, so I downloaded it. It does what I need it to do, which is use Roman numerals. But I had to figure out how to tweak it, as it made even the second and third tiers of the list all roman numerals. Somehow I missed how and where to find the plugin. I thought it was a separate block. but it integrates with the existing list block. I figured out how to get my list to look the way I want it to look, so things are fine.

Interessant, aber nicht reif

Ein toller Plugin, lange danach gesucht. Einfach zu benutzen. Nachteil: in der WordPress-App funktioniert der Plugin nicht, es zeigt eine Fehlermeldung: “Bei der Anzeige des Blocks ist ein Problem aufgetreten”. Da ich überwiegend über App meine Beitr?ge schreibe, kann ich den Plugin nicht nutzen.
