I'm putting sub-categories into my blog and the little bullet point next to the sub-category is the same as the one of the Parent category which is confusing.

I'd like to request that for instance if the Parent category is a dot, then the sub-category could be a dash so that it's easier to differentiate between the two at a glance.

Many Thanks and kind regards... Kiwidutch

.post {
	background: none;
	border-bottom: 2px dashed green;
}

Note that this is a CSS-only solution. The Pretty Young Thing theme uses an image, however, and if you wanted to control the look of the stitching to match (instead of using just CSS), then you would need to create a new image similar to the one used in the theme, upload it to your media library, after that you would need to add specific CSS to change out the image.

Pretty pricey solution to get rid of a hyphen and center the caption, not to mention that CSS can be confusing if you are not familiar with working with it. But you can read the previous thread. The solution is the one offered by Panos.

I had not thought of that! I have another blog with lots of images but a different theme, and hence no dash. And, although I have other images on this blog, none of them have captions. That's why I thought it looked odd.

If the hack is simple, I would happily do it just for this one image. If not, I'll just live with my dash...

It can be gotten rid of, but would require you to hack the caption code on an image-by-image basis. The other option is to modify the CSS but that takes the annually renewable, $30 Custom Design upgrade.

One of my images has a mysterious dash at the start of the caption and I just can't work out how to remove it. It doesn't appear in the edit mode. Deleting the caption and retyping doesn't help. Deleting the image and adding it anew from the gallery doesn't help.

Can anyone work out where it's come from and how to get rid of it? Thanks!
