If you’ve ever wanted a quick and easy way to use a checkmark on an unordered list in WordPress, on the fly (in other words, not using css), here is how you do it:

<ul style=”list-style: none;”>
<li style=”list-style-type: none;”>&#10004; first list item</li>
<li style=”list-style-type: none;”>&#10004; second list item</li>
<li style=”list-style-type: none;”>&#10004; third list item</li>
</ul>

In plain english what we’re doing is turning off the list style so that the usual disc does not show, and then we add in a checkbox (that’s the &#10004; part) prior to each list item.

It ends up looking like this:

  • ✔ first list item
  • ✔ second list item
  • ✔ third list item

Voila! Super quick and super simple.
