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, since WordPress 6.3 you could create list where this plugin supports to set different list-styles for each list.

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. 🙂

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.

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 Beiträge schreibe, kann ich den Plugin nicht nutzen.
