How to Add Bullet Points & Numbered Lists in WordPress

In today’s fast-paced world, most visitors prefer to scan content rather than read every word. Highlighting key points or summarizing content using bullet points or numbered lists can effectively catch their attention and ensure your message gets across.

If you’re using the WordPress Block Editor, you’re in a great position. This modern editor has simplified the process of content creation, making it more intuitive to add visually appealing and engaging lists to your posts.

Are you ready to enhance your content’s readability and make it more engaging for your audience? Let’s explore how to effortlessly incorporate bullet points and numbered lists with the WordPress Block Editor.

Adding Bullet Points & Numbered Lists in WordPress

Let’s see how to add bullet points in WordPress without using any plugins.

Once you’re in the WordPress post editor, just click on the plus (+) sign and search for ‘List’. Then enter the ‘List Block‘.

Alternatively, you can type a slash (/) and ‘list’ to enter the block.

Once you enter the block, you’ll see only one item. You can add more items by tapping on the ‘Enter’ key on your keyboard.

If you want to show the numbered list, just click on the ‘Convert to ordered list’.

The list block comes with some properties and options.

These options are: 

• Change block type
• Bullet (unordered list)
• Numbers (ordered list)
• Indent
• Outdent
• Bold
• Italic
• Strikethrough
• Hyperlink
• More Options

You can customize the color and typography of your list from the right-hand side options panel.

That’s all about adding bullet points and numbered lists in WordPress.
