 * annoying now when I posted it here then its shopwig points but on site its displayed
   as a paragraph.
 * <UL style=”list-style-position: inside”>
    - Maximum size of Poster Frame: A4.</FONT>
    - Ideal for counter displays.</FONT>
    - Recommended for single sided Poster Frames only.</FONT>
    - Poster Frames sold separately.</FONT>
    - Can only be used with Poster Frames.</FONT>
    - I hope it displays as paragraph now

 * Hello [@jesslucyg](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jesslucyg/),
 * Thanks for contacting us about the HTML code displaying on the page. Can you 
   share images of what you see, please? I recommend [https://snipboard.io](https://snipboard.io)
   to create easily sharable screenshots. If you go to that URL, it has instructions
   on how to take the screenshot and upload it. You can share the link it creates
   in your reply here.
 * I suspect that HTML code was added to either a non-HTML block (if using the Block
   Editor) or it was added to the “Visual” tab of the Classic Editor when it should
   be added to the “Text” tab. I hope this helps! If you have any further questions
   please feel free to reply to this message and I will get back to you.
