# Need Help With Minor Theme Coding Edit

 * Hi – I’m hoping someone can help me with a minor theme formatting issue – I am
   using “Visual Coffee Free Vintage Theme” for a new minimalist blog I just started.
   But it has an annoying formatting issue with no separators between category names
   at the top of each blog post (see the included link to a blog a post). Normally
   this would be easy to rectify if no controls via theme customisation as described
   in [Separating Categories @ WordPress.org Codex](https://codex.wordpress.org/Separating_Categories)
   or minor variations to this process. However although I’ve modified many themes
   in the past and in more detail than this I have drawn a blank with the Visual
   Coffee Theme; as it doesn’t seem to use the standard coding or syntax (I am reasonably
   HTML/XML/CSS literate but only the most very basic php and similar coding knowledge–
   so a bit lost trying to locate where this element’s formatting is in the theme
   template files).
 * I have tried to contact the developer direct but no response so was hoping someone
   here might be familiar with this theme, or with more advanced coding skills might
   be able to quickly identify for me how to add some sort of category list separator(
   like a comma, semicolon or a bullet)?
 * Many TIA.

 * experiment with some CSS like this
 *     ```
       a.category-name::after{
       content:",";
       }
       ```
   
 * looks like this is the theme support area:

 * Thanks [@contentiskey](https://wordpress.org/support/users/contentiskey/) – unfortunately
   had no joy trying that CSS and similar variations. I will try that support request
   option but think that’s where I have already requested help with no response.

 * Thanks [@micholloren](https://wordpress.org/support/users/micholloren/) unfortunately
   not exactly sure what you mean by using gutenberg, as my WP install already has
   the latest block editor and as the theme isn’t using the common usual code layout
   not sure a plugin can help with that? Are you meaning a specific plugin (as there
   are several gutenberg add ons)?
 * Many Thanks

 * I downloaded a copy of the theme from [https://wordpress.org/themes/visual-coffee/](https://wordpress.org/themes/visual-coffee/)
   
   and activated it in one of my test websites. I added the following to the “additional
   CSS” area in customizer and it worked for the category display on single post.
 *     ```
       a.category-name::after {
           content: " , ";
       }
       a.category-name:last-of-type::after{
        	content: "  ";
       }
       ```

 * Thank You [@contentiskey](https://wordpress.org/support/users/contentiskey/) 
   that has worked perfectly! Appreciate you taking the time to help me with a solution.
   Happy New Year and all the best for 2022 Lisa!
