 * hi,
    I am using WordPress, Elementor Pro. I want to show list of all blog categories
   in sidebar. By using the default WordPress “Category” widget, I get a bulleted
   list. I want to change the style to following:
 * 1. I do not want the heading “Category” to appear
    2. I want all blog categories
   to be listed in rows one below the other separated by a line (light grey color)
   and without any bullet 3. the List should be left aligned with 10px padding from
   Left
 * I think it should be doable by custom CSS. Can anyone help me?
    Thanks

 * The blog page is not ready hence there’s no public URL yet. But, I have created
   a sample of how I want to show the categories in sidebar. Here is the link to
   that sample plan image – [https://www.dropbox.com/s/ez2xd9kisiz16y8/Blog%20Category%20sample.png?dl=0](https://www.dropbox.com/s/ez2xd9kisiz16y8/Blog%20Category%20sample.png?dl=0)
   
   I hope this will help. I want to show the exact categories appear like that. 
   Thanks a lot in advance.

 * No. What I need is to see the page as it is currently, so I can see if it can
   be fixed with CSS.
